    The Los Angeles Chargers are still hoping that first-round pick Mike Williams, who has shown some encouraging signs after receiving a second epidural, will not need surgery on his herniated disk, league sources tell ESPN.

    The rookie wide receiver recently was given the epidural in a last-ditch effort to get him ready at some point during training camp, but sources said he is not expected to be available for the start of camp and there is concern he could need season-ending back surgery.

    Another source is optimistic that Williams will not need surgery and said Thursday afternoon, "He's been coming along pretty well."

    The team still is hoping Williams will respond positively to the second epidural but also knows there's a real chance he will not and his rookie year will be over before it begins.

    "This may be a lot more serious than people thought," said one source familiar with the injury.

    Williams was diagnosed with a herniated disk after his first practice during rookie minicamp and did not practice again. Chargers coach Anthony Lynn told reporters in the spring he hoped Williams' back would quiet down enough with rest that he could be ready for training camp.

    Williams has experienced some positive results from the second epidural, but there still are concerns and uncertainty about how his back will respond this summer.

    The Chargers remain uncertain about when Williams initially injured his back. One source said it's possible it was injured at the combine and during his pro day but he did a good enough job masking it so that teams would not know and his draft stock would not be affected.

    The Chargers selected Williams with the seventh overall pick, and he showed up in Los Angeles with a bad back.

    What's the word out of tiger town? I'm sure some of the gurus here know the how, when and where this happened.

    That's bad news for him. Hope he can recover from it.

    This couldn't have happened to a nicer wide receiver.

    Met a girl like that once. Unfortunately. That was a bad night all together.
