An important Los Angeles Chargers draftee left practice with an undisclosed injury.
The Los Angeles Chargers are set for a resurgence after a terrible 2023 season. However, it seems that there could be a setback when a promising rookie left practice injured., wide receiver Ladd McConkey "came up limping" after making a catch during team drills. After not coming to practice on August 1, head coach Jim Harbaugh said the Georgia graduate was "working through something.
