There's "optimism" that Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) will play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is dealing with a cracked rib, per Rapoport, and will wear a flak jacket if suits up. There's serious risk of an in-game setback here if McConkey takes a big hit, but there's also a chance he makes it through the game unaffected by the injury. McConkey was heavily involved before going down last week, catching 5 of 7 targets for 82 yards and a score in a little less than 3 quarters of action.
