Ladd McConkey will not play Monday night against the Ravens, with the Chargers officially ruling him out today. He isn’t even on the team flight to Baltimore, adding another challenge to what is already a rough, winless season for the team.

More Setbacks for a Disappointing Year

This news is just the latest hit in what has been a truly disappointing season for the Chargers wide receiver. McConkey has been battling a back injury, which kept him out of practice all week long. It’s been a tough go, with his production steadily declining since an impressive rookie year back in 2024. His numbers for this year are stark: just 17 catches for 286 yards and a single touchdown. Oof.

The blame game is already open, with questions swirling about how much of this year’s struggles are on McConkey himself, how much falls on quarterback Justin Herbert, or if offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel shoulders some of it. Regardless, it’s a rough year for McConkey and the entire Chargers offense.

Winless Woes Continue

Let’s be real, not much is going right for the Chargers right now. They’re still winless, and McConkey’s injury just piles onto the mountain of challenges this team is facing. You have to wonder what they’re going to pull out for Monday night against the Ravens.

The Bolts are struggling, and with their key receiver sidelined, it looks like they’ll be fighting an uphill battle once again when they face Baltimore.
