The third-year player broke his right ankle Wednesday and was the second Titan lost to the team this week. Tight end Bo Scaife, out with a lacerated liver, was placed on the injured reserve list Wednesday, ending his season.

Williams caught 55 passes for 719 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Tennessee (10-6) plays at San Diego (11-5) Sunday.
