Williams has been dealing with a herniated disc in his back since OTAs, and since the injury hadn't healed by the time the Chargers reported to training camp in late July, the team was forced to put him on the Physically Unable to Perform list (PUP).
The Seattle Seahawks used a 24-point second quarter to get things rolling and went on to rout the Los Angeles Chargers 48-17 on Sunday.
However, the Seahawks were out to disrupt the welcome party, as they dismantled the Chargers easily, winning 48-17. "He's kind of aware of it and it looks like it's going to be a while".
Clemens botched a handoff on the Chargers first play following the ensuing kickoff.
But not before Gates roasted them for three touchdowns, catching all seven passes Rivers threw him.
Running back Eddie Lacy will play. Williams was the most heavily targeted player on the team, receiving approximately 63 percent of backup quarterback Trevone Boykin's passing total of 189 yards.
The starters were mostly non-factors, with most playing only one series. He also rushed for a 31 yards and a score on four attempts.
Collins, meanwhile, struggled with 9 yards on six carries (though he did have a touchdown) and a dropped pass on fourth down and as of Sunday looks a little more like an odd man out in the competition for a final spot or two at tailback.
"Seemed like every time I turned around", head coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday, "he was making a play".
Mebane was selected No. 85 overall in the second round of the 2007 draft by the Seahawks. Second round offensive lineman Forrest Lamp tore up his knee early in camp, and he is done for the year. Jones left a first impression suggesting he should be able to fit right in immediately.
Finally, it was Austin Davis' turn to show the Seahawks' coaching staff what he has. Quarterback Philip Rivers "passed the ball accurately". He even ran for 18 yards on three tries, which is an integral part of the Seahawks offense.
Reserve cornerback Michael Davis was beaten deep five times, yielding completions of 27, 18, 28, 34 and 29 yards, and starting middle linebacker Denzel Perryman suffered a first-quarter left ankle injury that left him on crutches and in a walking boot.
The Rams drew this crowd for their first preseason game in L.A. last season. On FOX 12 against the Chargers, then they'll host the Vikings in Seattle next Friday.
