Chargers wide‑receiver Ladd McConkey, who had been sidelined since a foot injury in Week 4, was forced to leave the game early on Sunday after suffering a concussion in the second quarter.
McConkey had returned to the field in the first half, but the injury forced him to exit the game before the final quarter. The concussion was diagnosed by the team’s medical staff, who decided to remove him from play for player safety.
He had not played since the Week 4 injury, which had taken him out of the lineup for several weeks. The return was seen as a positive step for the Chargers’ offense, but the concussion has put his season back on hold.
The Chargers will now have to adjust their receiving corps for the remainder of the game and the upcoming schedule as they wait for McConkey’s recovery.
