Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Three grabs in Week 2 loss
McConkey (ribs) secured all three targets for 35 yards in the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
McConkey gained clearance from his questionable tag due to a rib injury to suit up, and the third-year wideout tied for the team lead in receptions while finishing second in receiving yards. However, it was a lackluster and mistake-filled day overall for the Chargers passing attack, so McConkey's numbers should also be viewed in that context. McConkey should play a critical role as Los Angeles looks to avoid what would be an alarming third straight loss to open the season in a Week 3 road showdown against the Bills next Sunday.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Active for Week 2
McConkey (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Separate reports leading up to the game indicated that McConkey intended to play, and he will indeed suit up for Week 2. McConkey is apparently playing through a cracked rib and will sport a flak jacket, so while he will be out there, it's unclear if he will fill his usual role.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Trending toward playing Week 2
McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, is "trending in the right direction" ahead of the 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Official word on McConkey's status will arrive when the Chargers post their inactive list 90 minutes prior to kickoff, but unless he experiences a setback with his cracked rib while warming up Sunday, the third-year wideout is on track to suit up. Schefter relayed earlier Sunday that McConkey will wear a flak jacket to protect his injured rib if he does wind up playing.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Intends to play Sunday
McConkey (ribs), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, "has made rapid progress" and "has every intention of playing," Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
After sitting out practice the first two days of the week, McConkey was able to sneak in a limited session Friday. Though Pelissero relays that a final decision on McConkey's status won't be made until later Sunday, fantasy managers can expect him to avoid the Chargers' inactive list, which will be released 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, McConkey is working his way back from a cracked rib and has improved more steadily than anticipated since suffering the injury in last weekend's season-opening loss to the Cardinals. McConkey is expected to wear a flak jacket to offer further protection for the rib Sunday, assuming he gets the green light to play, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Listed as questionable
McConkey (rib) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders, ESPN's Kris Rhim reports.
McConkey missed the fourth quarter of last week's game and didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but a return to practice Friday gives him a shot to play this Sunday. If it comes down to a game-time decision, fantasy managers should have an alternative ready from the late-afternoon games or primetime contests (the Chargers are scheduled for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff). Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will both get plenty of snaps at wide receiver if McConkey ends up on the inactive list.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Returns to practice Friday
McConkey (rib) is back at practice Friday for the Chargers, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
McConkey was listed as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday after missing the fourth quarter of a Week 1 loss to Arizona. His level of participation Friday should provide more clarity on his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Raiders. If McConkey doesn't play, Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris will be in line for more routes and targets against a Raiders secondary that won't have starting cornerback Darien Porter (foot).

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Sits out again Thursday
McConkey (ribs) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
McConkey was spotted working with the training staff during the media-viewing portion of Thursday's session, and he wound up not getting any work in for the second time in as many days. Head coach Jim Harbaugh tagged McConkey day-to-day earlier this week, but the wide receiver will be hard-pressed to take the field Sunday against the Raiders if he sits out again Friday.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Working on side field Thursday
McConkey (rib) is working off to the side with a trainer at Thursday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
McConkey doesn't appear ready to take any contact yet after absorbing a big hit on an attempted catch over the middle in this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, which forced him out of the game. If McConkey isn't ready to play Sunday against the Raiders, Brenen Thompson, Derius Davis and Gary Jennings could take on larger roles alongside Quentin Johnston and Tre' Harris.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Not practicing Wednesday
McConkey (ribs) won't practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
McConkey is in recovery mode after taking a huge hit from a Cardinals defender during this past Sunday's Week 1 loss. Initially deemed to have a chest injury, the issue was clarified as to his ribs Monday, at which point coach Jim Harbaugh called McConkey day-to-day. McConkey now has a baseline set as the Chargers kick off Week 2 prep, meaning he likely will need to mix into drills Thursday or Friday to give himself a chance to be available Sunday against the Raiders.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Receives day-to-day label from coach
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh labeled 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: Undergoing testing for ribs injury
McConkey will undergo further testing Monday for a potential rib injury sustained in Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Cardinals, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
McConkey was knocked out of the game late in the third quarter after absorbing a thunderous hit over the middle. He immediately grabbed at his chest and back, and the Chargers initially classified the injury as a chest issue. McConkey will presumably undergo X-rays and an MRI on Monday, and the team will then likely provide an update on the exact nature of his injury.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: No update on chest injury after loss
Head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't have a postgame update on 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. McConkey's status will bear monitoring as the Chargers prepare to host the Raiders in Week 2.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Questionable to return Sunday
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 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.
