Mike Williams Health, Injury Updates & History

Retired from the NFL on July 17th, 2025.

Mike Williams will be ready for Week 1, per head coach Robert Saleh “We're gonna be very smart with how we use him, but he's gonna be plenty available to make his mark felt,”

Mike Williams has been activated from PUP list after tearing his ACL last season. He is expected to be back for the regular season.

Mike Williams joined the Jets in the offseason after tearing his left ACL in Week 3 last season while with the Chargers. Pro Football Docs are optimistic that Williams will be ready to play when the Jets face the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football in Week 1. Known for his straight-line speed and deep-threat capabilities, Williams' play style, which relies less on cutting and precise route running, is expected to aid his return. He will be the WR2 behind Garrett Wilson.

Will be WR 2 behind Garrett Wilson. Concerns for Williams rely on his ability to adapt to a new offense, the health of Aaron Rodgers, and the Jets ability to keep Rodgers upright. After allowing the fifth most sacks in 2023, the Jets will have four new starters on their offensive line.

Our main concern was ACL tear in game and this has been confirmed, potential MCL damage involved as well - helped off the field with trainers and did not put much weight on left leg - now officially out for season

By video, worry for significant left knee injury - ACL tear is the main concern with potential MCL damage - took a blow to the head but knee is the bigger concern - helped off the field with trainers and did not put much weight on left leg - now in locker room

Off the report and healthy going into Week 3

Returned to game after long evaluation for a head injury - good sign for his availability after a big hit while blocking in the 2nd quarter
