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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Chargers Lose Rashawn Slater To IR After Right Ankle Surgery

Questionable for Sunday McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, while teammate Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out.

Impact McConkey didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by media at the start of Friday's session. The Chargers nonetheless are holding out hope he can play, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Tre' Harris figures to play a lot of WR snaps for the Chargers even if McConkey is active, as the team's depth was depleted before the starters got injured.

Sits out Friday's practice McConkey (foot) didn't practice Friday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.

Impact With McConkey now missing practice throughout the week after coach Jim Harbaugh previously termed him week-to-week, it's looking like the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Broncos. Look for Oronde Gadsden to see more action out of the slot for the Chargers, while Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston (chest) continue to soak up the bulk of the wideout snaps.

Sits out another practice McConkey (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact McConkey dealt with a foot injury last week before attempting to play through it this past Sunday in Seattle. He eventually exited for good in the third quarter and hasn't practiced since then. Coach Jim Harbaugh termed McConkey "week-to-week" Monday, according to Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com, so it won't be a surprise if he's ruled out on the Chargers' final Week 5 injury report Friday.

OCTOBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

No practice Wednesday McConkey (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.

Impact McConkey attempted to play through a foot injury in Week 4, but when he exited this past Sunday's loss at Seattle in the third quarter, he had no catches among his two targets. Coach Jim Harbaugh told Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com on Monday that McConkey is "week-to-week," so his lack of activity to begin Week 5 prep lines up with that assessment. Friday's injury report ultimately may provide clarity on McConkey's status for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

OCTOBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Will be at practice Wednesday McConkey (foot) is expected to be at practice Wednesday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The level of McConkey's participation remains to be seen but it appears he'll get some work in Wednesday, according to coach Jim Harbaugh. McConkey has battled through a couple of injuries this season, the most recent being a foot issue that flared up in the third quarter of the Chargers' loss to the Seahawks. The Chargers have a critical game Sunday at home against the Broncos.

OCTOBER 6 • SI.COM

Termed 'week-to-week' McConkey (foot), per head coach Jim Harbaugh, is "week-to-week," Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact McConkey suited up for Sunday's loss to the Seahawks despite dealing with a foot injury throughout the week, but he was forced from the game with the same issue, and Harbaugh's comment Monday indicates he could miss some time. More about McConkey's status will be known when the Chargers next release an official injury report Wednesday, but should McConkey wind up sidelined, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris would presumably be Justin Herbert's clear top two options at the wideout spots.
