It’s been a disappointing season for Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey, and it won’t get any better this week.
The Chargers announced today that McConkey will not play Monday night against the Ravens. He is not on the team’s flight to Baltimore.
McConkey has been dealing with a back injury that kept him out of practice all week.
It’s an open question how much is McConkey’s fault, how much is quarterback Justin Herbert’s fault and how much is offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s fault, but it’s been a rough year for McConkey, who has just 17 catches for 286 yards and a touchdown. After a very impressive rookie year in 2024, McConkey’s production dipped in 2025, and now it’s down again this year.
It’s not going too well for the winless Chargers, and McConkey’s injury could add to the list of challenges facing this team.
