Latest updates after Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey suffered a concussion against the Chiefs in Week 6.
In a setback for the Los Angeles Chargers, wide receiver Ladd McConkey will miss the remainder of Sunday's Week 6 game against the Kansas City Chiefs due to a concussion. The injury occurred during the second possession of the match when McConkey, who had caught a 17-yard pass from quarterback Justin Herbert, was tackled by Nohl Williams and Nick Bolton, resulting in him hitting his head on the turf at Arrowhead Stadium.
McConkey was immediately taken out of the game and later seen being escorted to the locker room with a towel covering his head in the early stages of the second quarter. The Chargers are currently trailing the Chiefs 9-3 in the game. This development adds another injury to the already strained roster of the Chargers, who are facing a challenging matchup against the Chiefs.
