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.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Leads team with 32 receiving yards
Ladd McConkey had three receptions on four targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots.The Los Angeles Chargers failed to keep QB Justin Herbert upright against New England's aggressive pass rush Sunday, resulting in barely any shots being taken downfield in a muted performance by the offense. McConkey wound up leading the team in receiving and grabbing the longest reception (20 yards) of the night for his club despite registering a forgettable stat line in the season-ending loss. The sophomore had a down year in 2025, finishing the regular season with 16 fewer receptions, 360 less yards and one fewer touchdown in the same amount of games played as his stellar rookie campaign (82-1,149-7). McConkey will attempt to reestablish himself as one of Justin Herbert's top receiving options and budding stars of the league when the Chargers regroup this upcoming offseason.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Rests in Week 18 loss
Ladd McConkey did not play in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Broncos.With the Los Angeles Chargers looking ahead to the AFC playoffs, head coach Jim Harbaugh chose to rest McConkey and many other offensive players against the Broncos. The 24-year-old wideout finished the regular season with 66 receptions for 789 yards and six touchdowns on 106 targets, all down from his rookie campaign. Despite seeing a dip in his production in his second season, McConkey led the team in receiving yards. The Georgia product will look to have a key role in the Chargers' offensive plans Sunday when the team visits New England in the AFC wild-card round of the playoffs.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Big gain on one catch
Ladd McConkey brought in one of two targets for 31 yards and returned two punts for 13 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Saturday.McConkey's inconsistent production persisted in Saturday's key game, although the second-year wideout made a significant contribution on his one catch. McConkey hasn't cleared 43 receiving yards in five consecutive games, but he'll still head into the Week 18 road matchup against the Broncos with an outside chance of recording the 111 receiving yards he'd need to hit the 900-yard mark for the second time in as many pro seasons.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Another touchdown in win
Ladd McConkey caught four of his six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Cowboys.McConkey will be hard-pressed to surpass his yardage total from last year given the litany of offensive line injuries Los Angeles has tried to survive, but the second-year wideout has quietly become a potent scoring threat -- he tallied his 13th regular-season touchdown of his career Sunday. The 24-year-old has yet to surpass 50 receiving yards since a stretch where he exceeded the mark in five consecutive games in Weeks 6-10. That directly coincides with the timing of the injury to Joe Alt (ankle) and bears keeping in mind for fantasy managers ahead of a difficult matchup against the Texans in Week 17.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Limited to two catches in win
Ladd McConkey secured two of three targets for 20 yards in the Los Angeles Chargers' 16-13 win over the Chiefs on Sunday.McConkey was once again quiet in the gritty road win, finishing with less than 25 receiving yards for the third time in the last four games. McConkey's muted afternoon was all the more noteworthy considering the absence of Quentin Johnston (groin), and his target tally was his lowest of the season. The second-year wideout will look to exploit an inconsistent Cowboys secondary in a Week 16 road showdown next Sunday.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Set to play in Week 15
Ladd McConkey (foot) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in Kansas City.A foot injury limited McConkey in all three Week 15 practices, but it won't impact his ability to suit up this weekend. He's been relatively quiet in two contests since the Los Angeles Chargers' Week 12 bye, hauling in just five of 11 targets for 51 yards and one touchdown. Fellow WR Quentin Johnston (groin) is listed as questionable, so a bit more volume could be coming McConkey's way if the former is inhibited or sidelined Sunday.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Another limited practice
Ladd McConkey (foot) remained limited at practice Thursday.After being on the field for 86 percent of the Los Angeles Chargers' snaps on offense in Monday's 22-19 overtime win over the Eagles, McConkey has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions. Friday's final injury report will thus reveal whether the wideout, who hauled in just one of his five targets for 12 yards versus Philadelphia, carries an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
