The 8-4 Los Angeles Chargers traveled to Missouri to play against their division rivals, the 11-1 Kansas City Chiefs, at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium for their second and final matchup of the regular season on Sunday Night Football. The last time these two teams faced off was when the Chiefs defeated the Chargers 17-10 in Week 4. They are also trying to snap a six-game losing streak against their division rivals.
The Los Angeles Chargers rookie sensation is dealing with two separate injuries
Chargers rookie sensation wide receiver Ladd McConkey is battling two separate injuries. McConkey suffered an AC joint sprain against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11 but has toughened up and played their last two games. However, he suffered a knee sprain against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 13, a concerning injury.

McConkey (knee/shoulder) participated in this week’s practice as a limited participant. The Chargers released the week’s final injury report on Friday and listed him as questionable.
What does his game status look like for SNF?
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Ladd McConkey is considered a true game-time decision against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. McConkey will work out and warm up during pre-game warmups, which will ultimately decide his availability for Week 14. Since NFL rules require teams to release their inactive players list 90 minutes before kickoff, we will know around 5:50 P.M. CT. if he’s playing or not.
