Sep 14 (Field Level Media) – Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey underwent ​testing on Monday to determine ‌the extent of the rib injury he sustained in Los Angeles’ season- opening 26-14 loss to Arizona on Sunday, ‌according ​to a report by ⁠NFL Network.

Los Angeles ⁠coach Jim Harbaugh described McConkey, who exited in the third quarter after taking a hit when running ​a route over the middle of the field, as day-to-day ⁠when addressing reporters Monday.

Even ⁠though he missed the ​end of the game, McConkey finished with ​a team-high 82 receiving yards and ‌one of the Chargers’ two touchdowns in the loss.

The 24-year-old led Los Angeles in receiving yards ⁠in each of his first two seasons since the Chargers drafted him in the ⁠second ‌round (34th overall) out of Georgia ⁠in the 2024 NFL ​Draft. ‌McConkey has 2,020 yards and ​14 touchdown ⁠catches over 33 games (27 starts) with Los Angeles.

The Chargers will host the AFC West rival Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif.
