McConkey (cracked rib) is "pushing to play" vs. LV
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Michael B. McConkey, the Chargers' wide receiver, is questionable for Week 2 due to a rib injury suffered in Week 1, and his playing status will be closely monitored; if inactive, Derius Davis could take over his slot role.
- Kyler Murray is on track to return in Week 3 after a concussion, with Carson Wentz expected to start one more game before Murray resumes as the starter.
- Ed Oliver (hip) and DJ Moore (shoulder) are both day-to-day and expected to potentially return next week, while Sam Darnold’s return from a glute injury is more likely in Week 4.
- Deshaun Watson is under evaluation after a poor start to the season, with the possibility of being benched after Week 2 in favor of Shedeur Sanders if performance does not improve.
- Several key players, including Trey Hendrickson (finger), Chris Jones (calf), and Chase Young (calf), are expected to play in Week 2 despite recent injuries, bolstering their respective teams' defenses.
