Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh labeled WR Ladd McConkey "day to day" with the back spasms that kept him from playing vs. the Texans on Sunday. It sounds like McConkey has a chance to play against the Ravens next Monday night, although we wouldn't blame you for looking elsewhere. McConkey has topped a 50% snap rate just twice this season due to various injuries.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Texans with a back injury. The announcement came before Los Angeles' first offensive snap, but the injury presumably happened at some point between inactives being announced and the opening kickoff. We'll update McConkey's status when we know more.

Update: McConkey experienced back spasms prior to kickoff. He remains questionable.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey caught four balls for a season-high 86 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams. His 6 targets marked a team high but accounted for just 20% of Justin Herbert's targeted passes. Coming off the Week 7 bye probably gave us the healthiest version of McConkey we've gotten all season, though.

Chargers QB Justin Herbert threw for 257 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams, with no TDs, 2 INTs, and a fumble (though his team didn't lose it). That marked a discouraging return from the Week 7 bye for the NFL's only winless team.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. McConkey has posted 3-35-0 and 4-66-0 lines in his only two healthy games this season. Consider him a WR3 in Week 8 lineups. The Chargers will also get WR Tre Harris (hamstring) back this weekend.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Barring a setback, he should be cleared for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. McConkey has registered a route rate north of 52% in just two games this season due to multiple injuries. He posted 3-35-0 and 4-66-0 lines in those two games. Consider him a volatile WR3 in Week 8 fantasy lineups. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday, giving him a shot to return for this weekend's game.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs and won't return. It's his first documented concussion. McConkey gets a well-timed Week 7 bye and should be cleared in time for Week 8.

Chargers WRs Ladd McConkey (foot) and Quentin Johnston (chest) are off the final Week 6 injury report. Both guys will be back for Sunday’s game against the Chiefs after missing last week. Kansas City has allowed the fewest fantasy points to outside WRs this season, compared to the 12th-fewest to slot receivers. The matchup is much better for McConkey, putting him in play as a WR3. Try to keep Johnston on fantasy benches. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) is out for Week 6.

Chargers WRs Ladd McConkey (foot) and Quentin Johnston (chest) were limited in Wednesday's practice. It's an upgrade for McConkey, who missed practice all last week before being active but not playing a single snap vs. Denver. Johnston got in 3 limited practices last week before missing the Broncos game. WR Tre Harris (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday, while WRs Brenen Thompson (quad), Marquez Valdes-Scantling (rib), and KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) were limited. We'll keep you updated on the league's most injured WR corps over the next few days.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Broncos. It’s a surprise after reports this morning had him unlikely to play. McConkey only got in a limited practice on Friday and won’t be at 100% today. He’d be a risky fantasy start.

Update: McConkey is "not expected to play meaningful snaps," ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Try to keep McConkey on fantasy benches.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is not expected to play vs. the Broncos today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's not a surprise after McConkey aggravated his foot injury last Sunday and missed practice all week. With WRs Quentin Johnston (chest) and WR Brenen Thompson (quad) also out, the Chargers are down to WRs Tre Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease. Harris is the only viable fantasy play among the group. TE Oronde Gadsden should play a significant role in the passing game today.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Broncos. He didn’t practice all week, though, so he’s seemingly on the wrong side of that questionable tag. WR Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out, and so has WR Brenen Thompson (quad). That leaves Tre Harris, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Derius Davis as the only healthy WRs on the active roster. WRs Theo Wease and Gary Jennings are on the practice squad.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. He dealt with this issue last week and then aggravated it in the loss to the Seahawks. We're tentatively projecting McConkey to miss this Sunday's game vs. the Broncos but will keep you updated on his status.
