The Los Angeles Chargers may have to wait a while for the debut of last year's first-round pick Mike Williams, but the team appears to be remaining cautiously optimistic that a debut could happen sooner rather than later.
Williams, who has been sidelined since the first day of rookie camp, is currently recovering from a herniated disc, however Ian Rapoport of NFL Network is reporting that the Chargers are eyeing a potential October debut for their top draft investment.
According to Rapoport, Williams has been spotted sprinting on the treadmill as well as the practice field, and citing sources with direct knowledge of the situation, the goal for the Chargers is to have him on the field in two months time.
The Chargers have until Sept. 2 to decide whether or not they want to place Williams on the PUP list, which would render him unavailable until Week 7.
