What happened: McConkey practiced Friday while managing a cracked rib and is pushing to be available Sunday for Los Angeles. The Chargers also chose not to elevate another wide receiver, a move that lines up with the growing optimism around his availability.

Why it matters: His presence would give Los Angeles a needed option in a game that has not started yet. It also follows a week of uncertainty around McConkey's status as the rib issue lingered into Sunday.

What to watch: The next checkpoint is whether McConkey avoids a setback and is cleared before kickoff.
