Summary

  • Ladd McConkey is day-to-day with a rib injury after leaving the Chargers' Week 1 loss to Arizona before the game ended.
  • Jim Harbaugh said the injury followed a hard hit; McConkey immediately appeared to reach for his back, and the team had first labeled it a chest issue.
  • Five catches for 82 yards and the Chargers' only touchdown underscored what Los Angeles lost when he exited, as he led the team in receiving yards and shared the receptions lead.
  • Sunday's game against the Raiders is now the immediate question, with McConkey's availability uncertain heading into Week 2.
