Following a reception, the 28-year-old footballer went down and had to be assisted off the field. Mike Williams appeared to be having trouble walking on his left foot and this resulted in him being wheeled into the blue medical tent. Initially, as the Vikings defenders cornered Williams, it is clear that the collision did not result in the injury.
Rather, the awkward bumping of the footballer’s leg, prior to the tackle, might have led to the strain in the muscles. Thus, the possibility of non-contact injury arises high on the radar. Additionally, as the wideout reached the blue medical tent, he was soon shifted to the locker room on a cart.

Now, Williams’ injury could potentially pose a challenge for the Chargers. However, at that time they were trailing behind the Vikings.

The Minnesota Vikings were in the lead with a score of 24-21 at that time, and less than 10 minutes were left in the fourth quarter. However, soon the Chargers picked up the game with a touchdown with 24-28. And after that, this score remained for quite long time. The outcome of the game soon released and the Chargers won the Week 3 matchup.
The Vikings secured their last lead with Justin Jefferson‘s 52-yard touchdown catch, once again capitalizing on a big pass play. The Chargers’ defense let Justin Jefferson slip through in the secondary, and backup safety JT Woods couldn’t bring him down in the open field, as he dove at Jefferson’s feet.
