Ladd Mcconkey Injury Update
McConkey popped up on Wednesday’s practice report with an ankle injury, marking his first mention this week as the Chargers gear up for Sunday's matchup against the Jaguars. The rookie wideout was limited in practice, joining fellow receiver Quentin Johnston, who was also capped due to a shin issue.
This comes after McConkey's strong recent form, where he's hauled in 18 catches for 231 yards and two touchdowns over the last three games, solidifying his role as a key target for Justin Herbert.

No further details emerged on the severity of the ankle tweak, but it's described as a minor nagging issue rather than anything long-term. Teammate Daiyan Henley (ankle) and Tarheeb Still (knee) were similarly limited, while tight end Oronde Gadsden upgraded to full participation after missing time with a knee bruise, good news for the passing attack.
For fantasy managers, keep an eye on Thursday's report: If McConkey stays limited or progresses to full, he's likely a go, but a DNP could open doors for Derius Davis or Simi Fehoko. The Chargers' offense has leaned on him heavily in the slot, so his availability could swing their aerial output against Jacksonville's middling secondary. As of now, expect him to push through rookies like McConkey, often gutting it out in big spots. Stay tuned for updates, but optimism is high for Week 11.

This meta reveals that Ladd McConkey is listed as limited in Wednesday practice with a minor ankle issue ahead of Week 11 versus the Jaguars.
