Misses practice after Saturday exit McConkey (undisclosed) left Saturday's practice early and didn't participate Sunday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact McConkey previously missed a practice Thursday but then returned Friday, only to come up limping during Saturday's session. He left with a trainer and missed the rest of the weekend, with coach Jim Harbaugh acknowledging that McConkey is "working through something" but declining to elaborate any further. The rookie second-round pick has worked with the first-team offense throughout most of training camp, reportedly taking a lot of his snaps from the slot.

Working with starters consistently McConkey, Joshua Palmer and DJ Chark have been the main WRs in 11 personnel at Chargers training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Popper notes that McConkey has "flashed" throughout spring and summer practices and looks particularly good while working from the slot. He isn't necessarily a slot-only prospect given his 4.39 speed, but it makes sense that McConkey would get a lot of snaps inside if he's mostly on the field at the same time as the 6-foot-3 Chark and 6-foot-1 Palmer. The ideal scenario for rookie-year fantasy value would feature McConkey taking most of his 11 personnel snaps from the slot while also getting steady playing time in two-wide formations. In any case, it's a good sign that the 34th overall pick has been thrown right in with the first-team offense rather than forced to work his way up the depth chart.
