Chargers’ Ladd McConkey Ruled Out for Key AFC West Clash Against Chiefs

The rookie wide receiver, dealing with knee and shoulder injuries, will miss Sunday night's game, leaving Los Angeles without its top offensive weapon.

Ladd McConkey, the Chargers' leading receiver with 815 yards and four touchdowns, is inactive for Sunday night’s game against the Chiefs due to knee and shoulder injuries.
McConkey sustained a knee injury during last week’s win over the Falcons, where he accounted for 78% of the team’s receiving yards in one of his best career performances.
The rookie wideout had been limited in practice all week and was officially ruled out just before the game, further depleting a Chargers offense already missing leading rusher J.K. Dobbins.
Justin Herbert will rely on other targets like Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston, and tight end Will Dissly to navigate a pivotal matchup against Kansas City’s strong defense.
A win against the 11-1 Chiefs would delay Kansas City’s division clinch and significantly boost the Chargers’ playoff chances to 98%.
