Chargers Head Coach Brandon Staley knows the magnitude of these games, as he’s been a part of three different coaching staffs that made it to the playoffs. However, his decision to play starters in Week 18 has back fired in a huge way.

The Chargers will not have receiver Mike Williams for Saturday’s playoff matchup against the Jaguars. He was downgraded to out after initially listing him as questionable on Thursday’s injury report.

Williams did not practice all week after suffering a back injury late in the second quarter of last Sunday’s loss to the Broncos.

Barring a Super Bowl berth for Los Angeles, Schefter notes that Williams’ season is likely over.

Chargers’ WR Mike Williams suffered a fracture in his back last Sunday that is expected to sideline him the next two to three weeks, meaning that, barring an LA Super-Bowl run, his season is over, per @LindseyThiry.
