Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams and cornerback Chris Harris Jr. were activated from the team's COVID-19 list, the team announced Saturday.

Both players are on track to play Sunday against the New York Giants, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Los Angeles placed the pair on the COVID-19 list Wednesday as close contacts.

The Chargers already ruled out Keenan Allen from Sunday's contest after he registered a positive COVID-19 test Monday.

However, quarterback Justin Herbert will have at least one of his top receiving options this weekend against a Giants defense that's surrendering 242 yards per game.

Williams will headline a Chargers receiving corps that features rookie Josh Palmer and Jalen Guyton. The 27-year-old pass-catcher has hauled in 55 receptions for 854 yards and seven touchdowns in 2021.

Harris' availability is welcome news after the Chargers listed cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. out this week as he remains in the league's concussion protocol.
