Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Listed as limited participant
Ladd McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.Head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed earlier Wednesday that McConkey would get some work in, and he was officially marked down with a limited tag. It's too early to tell if McConkey will take the field in Week 6, but his participation in Wednesday's session bodes well for his chances of doing so.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Set to practice Wednesday
Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Ladd McConkey (foot) will practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.Though he was technically active for this past Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos, McConkey wasn't available after failing to practice in any fashion leading up to the contest. Now that he's poised to get back on the practice field Wednesday, McConkey should be in good position to reclaim his usual role as the team's No. 1 wideout this weekend in Kansas City, provided he has no setbacks in his recovery from the foot injury leading up to Sunday. McConkey's potential return is an important development while the Chargers contend with multiple injuries at receiver, as Tre' Harris (hamstring) exited the Week 5 loss early and Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenan Thompson (quadriceps) were inactive for the game.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Ends up sitting out Week 5 loss
Ladd McConkey (foot) was active but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Broncos.Initially labeled as week-to-week by head coach Jim Harbaugh at the beginning of Week 5 prep, McConkey didn't practice in any fashion Wednesday through Friday but was still listed as questionable heading into Sunday. Though he ultimately suited up against Denver, McConkey looks to have been active only in an emergency since the Los Angeles Chargers had two other wideouts (Quentin Johnston and Brenen Thompson) sitting out with more worrisome injuries. The Chargers' depth was further tested when Tre' Harris (hamstring) left Sunday's game early, resulting in the team finishing with just three healthy receivers. McConkey's practice activity will bear watching this week to determine whether he has a more legitimate chance at playing meaningful snaps next Sunday in Kansas City.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Active Sunday
Ladd McConkey (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Los Angeles Chargers' officials site reports.Following an aggravation of a foot injury last Sunday at Seattle, McConkey was held out of drills during Week 5 prep but still entered the weekend listed as questionable to suit up. Adam Schefter of ESPN then reported Sunday morning that McConkey wasn't slated to play, and while the wide receiver actually is in uniform, he isn't expected to have a significant role, per Schefter. If that comes to pass, Tre' Harris likely will serve as the No. 1 WR for QB Justin Herbert, while Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease are the other players available at the position aside from McConkey.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Not slated to play in Week 5
Ladd McConkey (foot) isn't expected to play Sunday versus the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.McConkey aggravated a foot injury in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss at Seattle and didn't log any on-field work in the meantime, but the Los Angeles Chargers still gave him a chance to suit up in Week 5 by tagging him as questionable. Despite the listing, he's likely to be included among the team's inactives once the list is posted about 90 minutes before a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. With fellow WRs Quentin Johnston (chest) and Brenen Thompson (quadriceps) already ruled out, Tre' Harris is expected to be L.A.'s top pass catcher Sunday, with Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Derius Davis and Theo Wease on hand for targets at the position.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Questionable for Sunday
Ladd McConkey (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Denver, while teammate Quentin Johnston (chest) has been ruled out.McConkey didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday and wasn't spotted by media at the start of Friday's session. The Los Angeles Chargers nonetheless are holding out hope he can play, potentially setting up a game-time decision ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday. Tre' Harris figures to play a lot of WR snaps for the Chargers even if McConkey is active, as the team's depth was depleted before the starters got injured.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Sits out Friday's practice
Ladd McConkey (foot) didn't practice Friday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.With McConkey now missing practice throughout the week after coach Jim Harbaugh previously termed him week-to-week, it's looking like the wide receiver will miss Sunday's game against the Broncos. Look for Oronde Gadsden to see more action out of the slot for the Los Angeles Chargers, while Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston (chest) continue to soak up the bulk of the wideout snaps.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: Sits out another practice
Ladd McConkey (foot) didn't practice Thursday.McConkey dealt with a foot injury last week before attempting to play through it this past Sunday in Seattle. He eventually exited for good in the third quarter and hasn't practiced since then.

Chargers' Ladd McConkey: No practice Wednesday
Ladd McConkey (foot) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.McConkey attempted to play through a foot injury in Week 4, but when he exited this past Sunday's loss at Seattle in the third quarter, he had no catches among his two targets. Coach Jim Harbaugh told Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com on Monday that McConkey is "week-to-week," so his lack of activity to begin Week 5 prep lines up with that assessment. Friday's injury report ultimately may provide clarity on McConkey's status for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
