Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Receives day-to-day label from coach
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh labeled Ladd McConkey (rib) as day-to-day Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Harbaugh added that the Chargers will see how McConkey progresses throughout the week before determining his availability for Sunday's game agains the Raiders.McConkey delivered a 5-82-1 line on seven targets before exiting late in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Cardinals due to what the Chargers initially referred to as a chest injury. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network clarified earlier Monday that McConkey is instead recovering from a rib issue, and the wideout was set to undergo further testing. While Harbaugh didn't elaborate on what medical testing revealed, McConkey appears to have avoided anything significant. That said, McConkey's status for Week 2 appears to be in flux at the moment, and his activity in practices Wednesday through Friday likely will be the determining factor in whether or not he suits up Sunday.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: No update on chest injury after loss
Head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't have a postgame update on Ladd McConkey (chest), who exited in the second half of Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Cardinals, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.McConkey was originally deemed questionable to return after absorbing a big hit in the third quarter, and the 2024 second-round pick didn't re-enter the season-opening loss. Prior to getting injured, McConkey compiled five catches on seven targets for a team-high 82 receiving yards, including an eight-yard touchdown catch.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Questionable to return Sunday
Ladd McConkey is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Arizona due to a chest injury.McConkey was injured when he took a big hit while trying to make a catch late in the third quarter. With McConkey leaving the contest, the Los Angeles Chargers could be without one of their top wide receivers for the rest of Sunday's game. If he's unable to return, Tre' Harris and Brenen Thompson could be asked to step into bigger roles in the Chargers' WR corps.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Plays three snaps vs. Rams
Ladd McConkey played three snaps on offense and didn't show up in the box score otherwise during the Los Angeles Chargers' 20-18 preseason loss to the Rams on Thursday.McConkey was on the field for each of the Chargers' first two series before observing the rest of Thursday's exhibition contest from the sidelines. The 2024 second-rounder is the top wide receiver on the Chargers' depth chart following the departure of veteran Keenan Allen, and McConkey should be one of Justin Herbert's go-to targets in the passing game. McConkey caught 66 passes (on 106 targets) for 789 yards and six touchdowns across 16 regular-season games last year.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Plays opening series Thursday
Ladd McConkey failed to bring in his only target in the Los Angeles Chargers' 41-17 preseason loss to the 49ers on Thursday night.McConkey and the rest of the healthy Chargers offensive starters were out there to open the game Thursday, and the talented wideout couldn't corral his one target deep down the left side of the field during that first drive. McConkey's night was done after that possession, and the 2024 second-round pick will likely now turn his attention to prepping for a Week 1 home matchup against the Cardinals on Sunday, Sept. 13.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Doesn't play against Houston
Ladd McConkey did not play in the Los Angeles Chargers' 27-7 preseason win over the Texans on Thursday.McConkey was joined by Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston on the sidelines while JaQuae Jackson, KeAndre Lambert-Smith and rookie fourth-rounder Brenen Thompson saw the bulk of the wide receiver snaps during Thursday's exhibition game. McConkey saw his production dip from his rookie season to his 2025 sophomore campaign, but his output could rebound in 2026 due to the departure of veteran Keenan Allen and the addition of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Will be full go for camp
Ladd McConkey (hamstring) said he'll be "full go" for the start of training camp Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.The wideout will avoid placement on the active/PUP list after he battled a strained left hamstring during spring practices. McConkey had a down season in 2025 due in large part to the presence of Keenan Allen, who siphoned away targets in the middle of the field, but the veteran wasn't re-signed. McConkey is expected to be a featured part of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme that is built on speed and quickness. It would be a pretty big disappointment if McConkey isn't able to improve on his 66-789-6 receiving line over 16 regular-season games from last season after he went for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie in 2024 without Allen in the picture.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Dealing with strained hamstring
Ladd McConkey said Tuesday that he's tending to a left hamstring strain, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.Coach Jim Harbaugh told Insdorf earlier Tuesday that McConkey was "working through something" and would be limited to individual drills at this week's mandatory minicamp. McConkey clarified the nature of the injury not long afterward, while adding "let's get it healthy and ready to roll for" training camp. Through 32 regular-season games to begin his career, the 2024 second-round pick has tallied 148 catches on 218 targets for 1,938 yards and 13 touchdowns. McConkey will be seeking the second 1,000-yard campaign of his career under the direction of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited to individual drills
Los Angeles Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Tuesday that Ladd McConkey (undisclosed) is "working through something" and will be limited to individual drills at mandatory minicamp, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.Per Kris Rhim of ESPN.com, Harbaugh downplayed the severity of McConkey's injury, so it doesn't appear there's any level of concern about his status for the start of training camp in July. The wideout racked up 66 catches for 789 yards and six scores on 106 targets across 16 regular-season games in 2025, a step down from his rookie year production (82-1,149-7) in 2024. There are reasons to be optimistic about McConkey's chances of rebounding, however, with quarterback Justin Herbert slated to benefit from a healthy offensive line, new OC Mike McDaniel bringing a spark to the offense, and Keenan Allen no longer providing competition for underneath targets.
