pwny Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Looks like a herniated disk may put the #7 overall pick on the shelf for the forseeable future. What a terrible way to start a career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dome Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Herniated discs are no joke. That's an injury that could flare up intermittently his whole life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelKing728 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 That's awful. Hope his career doesn't become derailed by injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coors Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Awful news. Such a great talent, just doesn't seem to be able to stay healthy, especially with that awful neck injury in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cddolphin Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 A few posters in the old forum thread scoffed at the idea that Williams' back injury was "minor". There's hardly such a thing when it comes to football. A year off to get it 100% is terrible for Chargers fans but you can't rush back from this injury. He should look into stem cell injections.

Yeah back injuries are no joke. They're ended or derailed the careers of many players. Currently derailing the best TE we've ever seen play the game.

Hockey5djh Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Is this related to that neck injury or is this something entirely new? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have they specified which discs in any reports? Fortunately, the Chargers have the depth (for now... someone might want to bubble-wrap Keenan Allen) at WR to sustain this without huge loss.

CrashMan510 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Welp, Im off the chargers winning the west bandwagon. this team is legit cursed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Really kinda wanted him before the Eagles signed Alshon Jeffery. I'm really glad we didn't have to take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Buzz Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Rough news. Was the report saying that they think it happened at the combine/during workouts legit? If so, has to piss off the Chargers brass at least a little bit that he hid it so well. Was a huge fan of this guy in college, so hopefully it isn't a huge issue long term.

Bednarik60 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 Every back injury is pretty much serious. I think outside of neck , back injuries are the hardest to come from(honorable hamstring injuries). Sucks tho i really liked him as a prospect, was going to give me a good reason to watch the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raves Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 From personal experience, back, and specifically disc, issues are horrible. You can be completely fine one day and just happen to twist just slightly wrong and be in excruciating pain just trying to strand up straight after bending over.

Currently derailing the best TE we've ever seen play the game. As well as the best DE of this generation. Horrible news, Williams was a key need for a team that is watching the clock tick on Phillip Rivers' career. Another year of a makeshift WR unit for Rivers isn't what we wanted, or expected.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 I gots me a herniated disc and a bulging disc. I literally couldn't move for two days. Had back spasms also to go w/ it. Was the most intense pain I have ever felt in my life. Never do I want to go through that again. Feel bad for the kid b/c I like watching him play but he's a Charger soooooooo.........
