When will Ladd McConkey return? Chargers WR dealing with rib injury
The Los Angeles Chargers faced a double blow during their season opener, falling 26-14 against the Arizona Cardinals despite entering the home contest favored by 8.5 points. After finding the end zone for a touchdown, wide receiver Ladd McConkey exited the contest during the third quarter due to a rib and chest issue following a jarring tackle on a throw from quarterback Justin Herbert.
The home team struggled to sustain production, failing to record any points in either the second or fourth quarters as multiple players were sidelined.
Following the setback, head coach Jim Harbaugh offered an unpromising status report, though McConkey is presently classified as day-to-day. The wideout's condition will be monitored closely moving forward as Los Angeles seeks to rebound from its rough start in Week 1.
