Mike Williams has been added to the PUP List by the Chargers. Williams signed a one-year contract worth up to $6 million during free agency to reunite with the team he has been part of for the majority of his career. The news does not mean Williams will miss games, but it has opened up a window for rookie WR Tre Harris or Quentin Johnston to grab an opportunity at being the team’s WR2 behind Ladd McConkey.

Williams was known for his field stretching and contested catch ability, while Keenan Allen occupied the slot in what was a highly dynamic Chargers offense. Last season, we saw Rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey break out and become the alpha for the Chargers. Now, can we see Tre Harris emerge as a big-bodied target to work in tandem with Ladd, or does Quentin Johnston show any sign of life and become what the Chargers envisioned when he was selected 23rd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft?

Harris is currently a holdout over a disagreement over guaranteed money. Now, the Mike Williams designation gives Quentin Johnston the early leg up on valuable reps and building chemistry with quarterback Justin Herbert.
