Chargers CB J.C. Jackson out for season; WR Mike Williams out 'weeks'

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Chargers seemingly cannot catch a break with their streak of injuries.

Cornerback J.C. Jackson will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing the patella tendon in his right knee in a 37-23 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, coach Brandon Staley said Monday.

And wide receiver Mike Williams suffered a right high ankle sprain that will sideline him for a "matter of weeks, not days," Staley said.

The Chargers are 4-3, in second place in the AFC West behind the 5-2 Kansas City Chiefs, and enter a much-needed bye in Week 8.
