Mike Williams shocks NFL with sudden retirement - what really happened?

This one caught everyone off guard. Mike Williams just announced his retirement at 30 years old, and apparently even the Chargers front office was completely blindsided by the news. What makes this so crazy is the timing. Williams just reunited with the Chargers in March after spending last season bouncing between the Jets and Steelers. Everyone thought this was going to be a feel-good comeback story with him and Herbert reconnecting, but now it’s over before it even started. The injury situation seems to be the real story here. Williams has been working “off to the side” all offseason dealing with some undisclosed injury, and the team had him on the PUP list heading into camp. Reading between the lines, this probably wasn’t just a minor issue if it’s forcing a guy to walk away from the game at 30. What do you think is behind this mystery injury that forced him to retire so suddenly? CTE concerns, career-ending physical damage, or something else? #Chargers #MikeWilliams #NFL
