Kendall Williamson: Everything you need to know

The Chargers signed Williamson (ankle) to a contract extension Friday. The details of Williamson's contract haven't been announced by the Chargers, but the 2023 seventh-rounder figures to be around for at least the 2026 season. He served mostly on special teams last year and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo) across 17 regular-season games, though an ankle injury prevented him from playing in the Chargers' AFC wild-card loss to the Patriots in January.

Williamson (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's wild-card game against the Patriots. Williamson usually factors in on special teams when healthy, but he'll be sidelined by the ankle injury he sustained in the regular-season finale against the Broncos. The reserve safety had 14 tackles (eight solo) while playing in all 17 regular-season games.

Williamson (ankle) will not practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. Williamson left last Sunday's game against the Broncos early with an ankle injury and does not seem to have progressed in his recovery much since that point. The third-string defensive back will likely see his special teams production replaced by the newly signed Marcus Maye if he is unable to recover in time to suit up for Sunday's playoff game against the Patriots.
