Ladd McConkey Misses Thursday Practice With Foot Injury
The Chargers receiver was not seen practicing Thursday after a foot issue left him questionable for Week 4.

Ladd McConkey did not take part in Thursday’s practice, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN.com. The Chargers receiver is dealing with a foot injury that has left him questionable for Week 4.
What happened
McConkey was not spotted during the portion of practice open to the media, per Rhim. RotoWire reports he appears likely to be listed as a limited participant on Thursday’s official injury report. McConkey was already carrying a questionable tag heading into the week.
Context
McConkey has been productive through the first three weeks of the season. He has 12 receptions on 15 targets for 183 yards and one touchdown. His snap share has risen sharply each week, from 49 percent in Week 1 to 88 percent in Week 3.
What’s next
The Chargers will release their official practice report Thursday. McConkey’s availability for Sunday’s game remains uncertain as the team monitors his foot injury.

🏈 Fantasy impact
This is concerning for managers who rely on McConkey as a high-volume slot receiver. His absence would open up targets for Quentin Johnston and Joshua Palmer, but neither has shown McConkey’s consistency. If McConkey is limited or sits, the Chargers’ passing game becomes far less predictable. Keep him in lineups only if he logs a full practice by Friday; otherwise, have a backup ready. In deeper leagues, Palmer is a speculative add, but the downgrade at quarterback with Justin Herbert’s injury makes all Chargers receivers risky.
