The Chargers wide receiver is considered day-to-day after suffering an undisclosed rib injury in Week 1. Rib injuries are very difficult to manage, as simple everyday tasks like breathing can elicit pain. Football players can pad the area and use nerve blocks if they opt to play through the injury, but those methods aren't real treatments; time remains the best course of action in most cases. Monitor McConkey's availability in the week's practices to gauge whether he will be available in Week 2 against the Raiders.
