Ladd McConkey Sidelined by Pregame Back Spasms in Loss to Texans

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was active but played zero snaps in Sunday's 44-22 loss to the Texans after experiencing severe back spasms during pregame workouts. This marked the second time in three games that McConkey was active only as an emergency backup. His mounting injuries throughout the season have severely hindered his availability, contributing to the struggling 0-7 Chargers' offensive regression.
