What happened: Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey is not expected to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. McConkey is dealing with a foot injury that kept him out of practice throughout the week. He was officially listed as questionable on the team's injury report.

Why it matters: The absence of McConkey removes a key target for a Los Angeles offense that has struggled to generate consistent production. The Chargers enter the game with a 1-6 record and are mired in a six-game losing streak.

By the numbers: McConkey caught 66 passes for 789 yards and six touchdowns over 16 games with the Chargers in 2025. Los Angeles is currently averaging 18.4 points per game this season, while Denver's defense is allowing 20.0 points per contest.

What to watch: The Chargers will need to rely on their remaining depth at receiver as they attempt to snap their losing streak. Kickoff against Denver is scheduled for Sunday.
