Ladd McConkey's back spasms during pregame warmups raise questions about his availability for future games.

I'm worried about Ladd McConkey after hearing he experienced back spasms during pregame warmups. This isn't the first time we've seen him deal with injuries, but it's still concerning.

Ladd McConkeys back spasms were a clear setback Sunday

Ladd McConkey wasn't on the team's Friday injury report, and he wasn't among the players declared inactive Sunday. However, he did experience back spasms during pregame warmups, which is a clear setback for him.

Chargers Delayed Injury Announcement Raises Red Flags

Ladd McConkey's back spasms during pregame warmups are a huge concern for me - it's not just about his health, but also about the fantasy football managers who had him in their lineups. They got no warning until after kickoff, which is frustrating to say the least.

The Chargers' announcement of McConkey's injury came at 4:17 p.m. ET, 12 minutes after the game started. That's a pretty significant delay - it raises questions about whether the team knew about the injury before the game even began.

It's worth noting that McConkey wasn't on the team's Friday injury report or among the players declared inactive Sunday, which suggests that this was an unexpected development. Now, fantasy football managers are left wondering what could have been done differently if they had known about the injury sooner.

The Chargers' announcement was posted at 4:17 p.m. ET, roughly 12 minutes after the game started. This suggests that McConkey's injury may have been known to the team before the game even began.
