Ladd McConkey injury update will excite Los Angeles Chargers fans

The Los Angeles Chargers haven't received good injury news as of late, the most notable being star left tackle Rashawn Slater being lost for the season due to a torn patellar tendon. They also had Ladd McConkey working back from a leg injury, but his recent update is a good sign for things to come.

At Tuesday's practice, McConkey worked in team drills for the first time in nearly two weeks, catching five passes from Justin Herbert. The Chargers' second-round pick last year revealed how it felt to be back on the field participating in team drills.

"I feel really good. Felt great to get back out there, run out a little bit, catching passes. It was good. I feel like I'm there now, just building everything back up, getting in the swing of things, getting my conditioning back to where it needs to be. I feel solid, feel good."

The Chargers couldn't afford to lose McConkey for an extended period of time either, as he was their best offensive playmaker from last season. The Bolts brought back veteran Keenan Allen last week to a one-year deal, which certainly adds another dynamic element to the offense.

McConkey being back at practice is good news for everyone involved.
