Overview
- McConkey left the Week 1 game in the third quarter after taking a hard hit while trying to make a catch and walked off to the medical tent under his own power.
- He had been the Chargers' most productive receiver before the injury, with five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown.
- The team has not confirmed a diagnosis; reports describe a possible hip issue while the Chargers listed him as questionable with a chest injury.
- The score was 16-14 in favor of the Cardinals when McConkey exited, removing a primary target and altering the Chargers’ offensive plan.
- If he cannot return, the Chargers are expected to increase snaps and targets for Quentin Johnston, Tre' Harris and Oronde Gadsden, a shift that will test the club’s depth early in the season.
