  "account": "Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey suffered an injury during the Week 1 game against the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey was hurt in the third quarter while attempting to make a catch and exited the game, heading to the medical tent. Prior to the injury, McConkey had five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. The score at the time of his exit was 16-14 in favor of the Cardinals. McConkey managed to walk off the field under his own power, and he is currently being evaluated at the medical tent. An injury to McConkey could impact the Chargers, as they may need to rely more heavily on other wide receivers such as Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, and Oronde Gadsden.",
