Chargers rookie Ladd McConkey suffers injury vs. Bengals

Los Angeles Chargers rookie receiver Ladd McConkey suffered an injury in the first quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

McConkey caught a pass from Justin Herbert and was injured after being dragged down the sideline.

From there, McConkey quickly headed to the blue medical tent.

The second-round pick came into the game as Herbert’s leading receiver with 492 yards and four scores on a 13.3 per catch average. With DJ Chark inactive, the offense will lean on former first-rounder Quentin Johnston as the main threat in the passing game.

Otherwise, tight end Will Dissly has emerged as a top option in recent weeks. On the same drive, McConkey was hurt and Dissly hauled in a touchdown to make the score 7–3 in favor of the Chargers.

Update: McConkey went to the locker room after the blue medical tent and then returned to the game.
