Ladd McConkey Injury Update: Doctor Breaks down the Injury and What to expect next
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is dealing with a rib injury after taking a hard hit during Sunday’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
McConkey was injured while making a catch in the third quarter and did not return to the game. Before leaving, he had five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh has described McConkey as day-to-day, with the team monitoring his progress throughout the week.
The big question now is whether McConkey will be healthy enough to play Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Dr. Jesse Morse of Injury Expertz breaks down the injury and explains what McConkey and the Chargers need to watch for over the coming days. The key will be how he responds to treatment and football activity, particularly movements that stress the rib area.
With additional testing having been performed, the Chargers will have a better idea of the severity of the injury as the week progresses. For now, McConkey’s status remains something to monitor closely.
