Overview
- The Chargers officially listed wide receiver Ladd McConkey as questionable for Monday night after he missed late-week practices, a designation reported Saturday by team sources and national outlets.
- McConkey did not participate in Thursday and Friday practices and can remain off the field until the team posts its inactive list, which normally appears about 90 minutes before kickoff.
- The back spasms that sidelined him as a last-minute nonparticipant in Week 9 add to a season-long injury pattern that has included a hamstring, cracked ribs, a foot issue and a Week 6 concussion.
- If McConkey is unavailable, Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith are expected to take on expanded snaps and targets, which would change how Justin Herbert distributes the pass game.
- The immediate effects include altered play-calling, short-term roster and fantasy impacts for Chargers’ pass catchers, and a final clarity on McConkey’s status once the Chargers announce their inactive list before Monday’s kickoff.
