Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Logs limited practice Friday
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) was limited at practice Friday.McConkey was deemed a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate, but the wideout's ability to work in Friday's session, albeit with a cap on his reps, bodes well for his chances of being available Monday night against the Ravens. In any case, Saturday's final injury report will relay whether McConkey approaches Week 12 action with an injury designation or fully cleared to face Baltimore.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Spotted at Friday's practice
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) is participating in practice Friday, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.McConkey missed practice Thursday due to a shoulder injury. He sustained the injury in the first half of Sunday night's win over the Bengals but returned to the game after a brief trip to the locker room and proceeded to finish with 123 receiving yards. The extent of McConkey's participation level will be clarified later Friday, but he's trending in the right direction ahead of Monday's juicy matchup against a Ravens secondary that has allowed the most receiving yards (2,084) to wide receivers and is tied for the most receiving touchdowns (16) given up to the position.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Estimated as non-practice participant
Ladd McConkey (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice estimate.McConkey was on the field for 73 percent of the Los Angeles Chargers' snaps on offense during the team's Week 11 win over the Bengals en route to catching six of his nine targets for 123 yards. However, now that he's listed as having a shoulder issue, the wideout's status is worth tracking as Monday night's game against the Ravens approaches. Look for added context regarding McConkey's Week 12 playing prospects to arrive via his participation level in Friday's practice.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Two catches on game-winning drive
Ladd McConkey caught six of his nine targets for 123 yards in the 34-27 win over the Bengals on Sunday.McConkey was briefly in the locker room due to an apparent shoulder injury in the first half, but the rookie returned relatively shortly thereafter. Justin Herbert found the Georgia product twice on the final drive of the game, as McConkey tallied receptions of 28 and 27 yards to help put the team in field-goal range before J.K. Dobbins punctuated the win with a long touchdown run. This is now the eighth time this season McConkey has led all Los Angeles Chargers receivers in targets as he continues to emerge as Herbert's go-to target. Expect the 23-year-old to be poised with more opportunities next week against a susceptible Ravens pass defense.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Longest reception of day
Ladd McConkey caught both of his targets for 52 yards in a 27-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.McConkey had the team's most explosive play of the afternoon, a nice 18-yard out route deep in enemy territory that the rookie then jettisoned for nearly another 20 yards. The reception was part of a 95-yard touchdown drive early in the fourth quarter that effectively iced the game. The 22-year-old has typically been the go-to wide receiver for the offense, but in a game during which Justin Herbert attempted just 18 passes there was never going to be a ton of volume to prop up a massive fantasy day. That should change in Week 11 when the porous Bengals defense comes to Los Angeles.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Full practice Thursday
Ladd McConkey (hip) practiced fully Thursday, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.The same goes for Quentin Johnston (ankle), which sets the stage for the Chargers to have their top three wideouts (McConkey, Johnston and Joshua Palmer) available Sunday against the Browns. It also looks like DJ Chark (groin, IR) is trending toward returning to action this weekend, but in any case, McConkey should maintain steady enough volume going forward to yield weekly fantasy lineup utility.

Ladd McConkey (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' official site reports.McConkey continues to manage a hip issue, but with no reported setbacks coming out of this past Sunday's win over the Saints, the rookie might have had his reps capped Wednesday for maintenance reasons.
