Lost in the hype of the Los Angeles Chargers win over the Cincinnati Bengals was an injury suffered by breakout rookie wideout Ladd McConkey. Conkey returned to that game and played well, but he is a main point of injury updates focus after popping up on the injury report ahead of the team’s Week 12 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Los Angeles Chargers have discovered a new weapon for their aerial attack through rookie Ladd McConkey. But after a dominating Week 11 showing, the wide receiver suddenly faces playing time questions.

The Chargers released their first injury report before Monday night's game against the Ravens. However, the team did not hold a practice, making this an estimated report if they had taken the practice field.

With 45 seconds left in a 27-27 game, the Bolts offense got one final opportunity to try and seal a victory. The unit was in the midst of a five-drive scoring drought and had reached Cincinnati territory just once since early in the third quarter. Needing big plays in crunch time, it was rookie Ladd McConkey who stepped up to the plate.

There was a lot of flack that came from the new regime of Jim Harbaugh for the Los Angeles Chargers when he opted to forego one of the elite pass-catching options in the 2024 NFL Draft and instead went with an offensive lineman.
