What happened: Tom Pelissero reported McConkey has every intention of playing Sunday after rapid progress with a rib injury this week. A final decision is expected later Sunday before the Chargers meet the Raiders.

Why it matters: His availability would affect Los Angeles' receiving group for a game that has not started yet. It follows earlier attention on McConkey's status entering the matchup.

What to watch: Watch for the Chargers' inactive list later Sunday to see whether McConkey is available. That decision will settle his status before kickoff.
