Ladd McConkey - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

C.J. Stroud tosses 5 TD passes as Texans rout winless Chargers 44-22. LA finally scores a TD

1 HOUR AGO • Associated Press

Exits Sunday's game McConkey (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Texans.

Impact Prior to his first-quarter exit, McConkey wasn't targeted by QB Justin Herbert. His absence leaves Quentin Johnston, Tre' Harris, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and Derius Davis as the Chargers' available WRs versus Houston.

Team-high yardage total in loss McConkey brought in four of six targets for 86 yards in the Chargers' 24-9 loss to the Rams on Sunday.

Impact McConkey finally shook off the concussion that led to his exit from a Week 6 loss to the Chiefs during Week 8 prep, and despite the fact Tre Harris was also back from a hamstring injury, the former still led the Chargers in receiving yards and targets. The yardage tally was also a season high for McConkey, who is averaging a career-best 16.8 yards per reception on his 17 catches to date. Los Angeles' air attack showed some improvement Sunday following some retooling during the Week 7 bye, and McConkey figures to remain the top target on the winless Bolts in a Week 9 home matchup against the Texans next Sunday.

Will play Sunday McConkey (concussion) is off the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact After entering the week in concussion protocol, McConkey progressed to full practices Wednesday and Thursday before shedding his injury designation Friday. The Chargers will also get Tre' Harris (hamstring) back in action after a Week 6 absence and Week 7 bye.

Logs full practice Thursday McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact McConkey has back-to-back uncapped practices under his belt this week, but it remains unclear if he's gained clearance from the concussion protocol, which requires getting the all-clear from an independent neurologist. Friday's injury report will reveal if he still needs to pass such an exam ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams.

OCTOBER 29 • ROTOWIRE

Full practice Wednesday McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact McConkey was dealing with a foot injury for multiple weeks before suffering a concussion in the Chargers' last game on Oct. 18. With the benefit of the team's Week 7 bye, he didn't endure any practice restrictions Wednesday and also ditched his previous foot issue. McConkey thus appears as if he only needs clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Rams.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Practicing again, but still in protocol Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said McConkey remains in concussion protocol but will practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact McConkey was knocked out of the Chargers' Oct. 18 loss to the Chiefs after sustaining a concussion but appears to have made some progress through the five-step protocol following the team's Week 7 bye. He was spotted practicing Monday during the Chargers' bonus session coming out of the bye week and looks on track to participate in at least a limited fashion Wednesday in the Chargers' first official practice of Week 8.

OCTOBER 28 • ROTOWIRE

Spotted practicing Monday McConkey (concussion) was spotted on the field in a no-contact jersey during the Chargers' bonus practice session Monday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact After a Week 7 bye, the Chargers held an unofficial practice Monday as they begin prepping for a road matchup with the Rams next Sunday. Though the team won't have to release its first Week 8 injury report Wednesday, McConkey appears poised to be listed as at least a limited practice participant, which suggests that he's made some progress through the five-step concussion protocol. The wideout will look to practice fully by the end of the week and receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play against the Rams.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey Ruled Out Departs Game vs. Chiefs Early Due To Concussion

Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was ruled out against the Kansas City Chiefs with a concussion, the team announced.

Chargers WR Ladd McConkey Ruled Out Departs Game vs. Chiefs Early Due To Concussion

Ruled out with concussion McConkey won't return to Sunday's game at Kansas City due to a concussion.

Impact McConkey was being evaluated for a possible head injury early in the second quarter before the Chargers quickly ruled him out. This follows a nearly three-week stretch in which he was dealing with a lingering foot issue that didn't allow him to log a snap in Week 4, despite being active. Now that he's subject to the concussion protocol, McConkey's next game action is up in the air.

OCTOBER 18 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Sunday McConkey (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact Quentin Johnston (chest) has also been cleared to play, while Tre' Harris (hamstring) has been ruled out. Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh declined to comment on playing-time expectations for Sunday, simply telling reporters, "I don't know," and "we'll see how it goes," when asked about McConkey and Johnston on Friday, per Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com. McConkey has been the No. 1 target when available, but Justin Herbert may not have time to look downfield behind an injury-ravaged offensive line.

OCTOBER 16 • ROTOWIRE

Stays limited in practice McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact McConkey practiced in a limited fashion for the second day in a row.

OCTOBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as limited participant McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed earlier Wednesday that McConkey would get some work in, and he was officially marked down with a limited tag. It's too early to tell if McConkey will take the field in Week 6, but his participation in Wednesday's session bodes well for his chances of doing so.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Set to practice Wednesday Head coach Jim Harbaugh said McConkey (foot) will practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Though he was active for this past Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos, McConkey didn't play any snaps and wasn't available after failing to practice in any fashion leading up to the contest. Now that he's poised to get back on the practice field Wednesday, McConkey should be in good position to reclaim his usual starting receiver role this weekend in Kansas City, provided he has no setbacks with his foot leading up to Sunday.

Ends up sitting out Week 5 loss McConkey (foot) was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Initially labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jim Harbaugh at the beginning of Week 5 prep, McConkey didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday but was still listed as questionable heading into Sunday. Though he ultimately suited up against Denver, McConkey looks to have been active only in an emergency since the Chargers had two other wideouts (Quentin Johnston and Brenen Thompson) sitting out with more worrisome injuries. The Chargers' depth was further tested when Tre' Harris (hamstring) left Sunday's game early, resulting in the team finishing with just three healthy receivers. McConkey's practice activity will bear watching this week to determine whether he has a more legitimate chance at playing meaningful snaps next Sunday in Kansas City.

OCTOBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Will play Sunday McConkey (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' officials site reports.

Impact Following an aggravation of a foot injury last Sunday at Seattle, McConkey was held out of drills during Week 5 prep but still entered the weekend listed as questionable to suit up. While Adam Schefter of ESPN reported Sunday morning that McConkey wasn't slated to play, the wide receiver actually is available. With McConkey active and Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) on the sideline, the former will join Tre' Harris as the likely top options at wide receiver for QB Justin Herbert.

OCTOBER 11 • SI.COM

Not slated to play in Week 5 McConkey (foot) isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact McConkey aggravated a foot injury in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss at Seattle and didn't log any on-field work in the meantime, but the Chargers still gave him a chance to suit up in Week 5 by tagging him as questionable. Despite the listing, he's likely to be included among the team's inactives once the list is posted about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) already ruled out, Tre' Harris is expected to be L.A.'s top pass catcher Sunday, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease on hand for targets at the position.
