## Resource

Chargers’ WR corps faces a tough Week Two test with key injuries—Ladd McConkey’s rib issue and KeAndre Lambert-Smith on IR—but the team’s confidence is high. McConkey’s absence could open the door for Quentin Johnston, Tre’ Harris, and rookies like Brenen Thompson to shine. With just 37 yards from the rest of the receivers in Week One, the unit is hungry to prove themselves, fueled by a chip on their shoulder and QB Justin Herbert’s belief they’re ready to seize the moment.
