After what was a disappointing offensive performance against the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, it\u2019s only getting worse for the Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n
During their 26-14 loss, Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey took a hit to the chest area that resulted in him not returning<\/a> for the rest of the game.<\/p>\n On Monday, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter said that per Jim Harbaugh, McConkey is considered day-to-day as he\u2019s dealing with a rib<\/a> injury.<\/p>\n Los Angeles Chargers\u2019 Ladd McConkey considered day-to-day following rib injury.

AP Photo\/Gregory Bull<\/p>\n The bulk of the offense\u2019s issues on Sunday were due to the disappointing performance of their offensive line, as they looked confused at times and would give up sacks at critical parts of the game.<\/p>\n Los Angeles\u2019 running game was primarily led by second year running back Omarion Hampton,<\/a> who had 12 carries for 43 yards and 1 touchdown. As a group, the Chargers only ran for 81 yards.<\/p>\n Quarterback Justin Herbert completed 17 of 27 passes for 209 yards with 1 touchdown and an interception that came with less than 10 minutes left in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n McConkey, who\u2019s been the Chargers\u2019 leading receiver over the last two seasons, had 7 targets and caught of Herbert\u2019s passes for 82 yards and a touchdown.<\/p>\n ESPN NFL analyst Dan Orlovsky said on Monday that Herbert\u2019s problem during the game was he got \u201clocked on to receivers far too often.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMeaning \u2018I\u2019m only throwing it to this guy because I think he\u2019s going to be open,\u2019 instead of getting to that second or third read,\u201d Orlovsky said. \u201cThat happens in that McDaniel, [Kyle] Shanahan system.\u201d<\/p>\n While there are several things that went wrong for the Chargers, Harbaugh told reporters on Monday that he\u2019s aware of the mistakes they made, and he wishes he had played his starters more during the preseason.<\/a><\/p>\n Download The California Post App, follow us on social, and subscribe to our newsletters <\/p>\n California Post News: Facebook<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, TikTok<\/a>, X<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>, WhatsApp<\/a>, LinkedIn<\/a> \t\t\t\t\t\t
