Chargers Clear Ladd McConkey for Week 6

Left off the final injury report with no designation, he could ease pressure on Justin Herbert for a team still searching for its first win.

Overview

  • The Chargers’ final Week 6 injury report did not list Ladd McConkey and ESPN’s Adam Schefter posted that he has no injury designation, indicating he is expected to be available.
  • McConkey has had a string of setbacks this season with a chest/rib issue, a hip problem that forced him out of a game, and a re‑aggravated foot injury that limited his snaps.
  • Through five games this year he has 12 catches for 183 yards and one touchdown, numbers that reflect missed time and curtailed participation.
  • Los Angeles enters the game 0-5 and is still adjusting to offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel’s scheme, so McConkey’s presence may help the passing game but is unlikely to single‑handedly change the matchup versus the undefeated Chiefs.
  • Watch McConkey’s early snap count and target share for signs of his game-day role, because his actual impact will depend on whether the Chargers ease him in or return him to a full receiving workload.
