Cooper DeJean vs. Ladd McConkey
Earlier this week, Chargers OC Greg Roman had this to say about the matchup between McConkey and DeJean.
OC Greg Roman yesterday on Cooper DeJean’s matchup with Ladd: “I was born in the night, but not last night. Vic will have different ways to take advantage of coverage to the point where it’s not one-on-one all the time… But as far as the matchup, I like Ladd against anyone.”
McConkey has gone without a catch on two targets.
More Chargers offensive tackle injuries
Trey Pipkins went down for the Chargers in the second quarter. That’s already on top of other notable injuries, and it’s his third offensive tackle. The Chargers are already without their two best offensive tackles: Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt. Bobby Hart replaces Pipkins.
