Los Angeles Chargers rookie receiver Ladd McConkey suffered an injury in the first quarter of Sunday night’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

McConkey caught a pass from Justin Herbert and came up hurt after being dragged down by the sidelines.

From there, McConkey quickly went to the blue medical tent.

The second-round breakout entered the game as Herbert’s leading receiver with 492 yards and four scores on a 13.3 per-catch average. With DJ Chark inactive, the offense will lean on former first-rounder Quentin Johnston as the main threat in the passing game.

Otherwise, tight end Will Dissly has emerged in recent weeks as a top option. On the same drive McConkey got hurt, Dissly hauled in a touchdown to make it 7-3 in favor of the Chargers.

Update: McConkey went to the locker room after the blue medical tent, then returned to the game.
