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.

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

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.

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 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 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 HC Jim Harbaugh confirmed that WR Ladd McConkey aggravated the foot injury that had him listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Seahawks. Harbaugh labeled McConkey "day to day," but don't be surprised if he misses at least one game with this issue. McConkey was ineffective before exiting, failing to catch either of his targets. We'll keep tabs on his status this week, but fantasy owners should make other plans for Week 5 lineups.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He was listed as questionable after only getting in limited practices on Wednesday and Friday. But NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said this morning that McConkey’s foot injury is not as serious as the rib injury he suffered in Week 1.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) is "likely" to play vs. the Seahawks this afternoon, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is listed as questionable after getting in just limited practices on Wednesday and Friday, but Rapoport says this foot injury is not as serious as the rib injury McConkey suffered in Week 1. It still adds some risk to a guy who's already operating in a struggling offense. McConkey lands 28th in our Week 4 WR rankings.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (foot) went from limited in Wednesday's practice to sidelined on Thursday. ESPN's Kris Rhim spotted McConkey walking with a limp in the locker room afterward. His status for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks is suddenly in doubt. We'll see if he practices on Friday and then how he's listed on the final injury report.

Ladd McConkey began Sunday questionable to play with a rib injury before being listed active shortly before gametime. The Chargers WR finished with just 3 receptions for 35 yards in a 6.5 PPR point game in the team’s loss to the Raiders.

There's "optimism" that Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) will play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. McConkey is dealing with a cracked rib, per Rapoport, and will wear a flak jacket if suits up. There's serious risk of an in-game setback here if McConkey takes a big hit, but there's also a chance he makes it through the game unaffected by the injury. McConkey was heavily involved before going down last week, catching 5 of 7 targets for 82 yards and a score in a little less than 3 quarters of action.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. ESPN's Adam Schefter calls him "unlikely" to play vs. the Raiders this weekend. We've had McConkey projected out all week, but we'll see how he's listed on tomorrow's final injury report.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey (rib) won't practice on Wednesday, HC Jim Harbaugh said. McConkey dodged a significant injury by all accounts, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said Tuesday that his status for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders is "up in the air." We'll see if McConkey can get back on the field tomorrow, but fantasy managers should start making other plans for Week 2 lineups.

Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh called WR Ladd McConkey "day to day" with the rib injury he suffered in the opener. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that McConkey will be monitored throughout the week before a decision is made on his Week 2 availability. "Sounds like his status is up in the air against the Raiders next week," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds. McConkey owners should make plans to be without him this week, but it sounds like he avoided a long-term injury. McConkey's absence vs. Vegas on Sunday would leave Quentin Johnston and Tre Harris as the Chargers' top 2 WRs. Harris is worth adding in most fantasy leagues.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey suffered an apparent left hip or lower back injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. He was having a big game before going down, catching 5 of 7 targets for 82 yards and a score. We'll update McConkey's status when we know more.
