Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Will play Sunday
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:44 PM
McConkey (concussion) is off the injury report and will play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After entering the week in concussion protocol, McConkey progressed to full practices Wednesday and Thursday before shedding his injury designation Friday. The Chargers will also get Tre' Harris (hamstring) back in action after a Week 6 absence and Week 7 bye. |
Tre' Harris Tre' Harris Cleared for return
Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 3:28 PM
Harris (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: Harris, Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston have all missed time this season, but they're healthy after a Week 7 bye. Prior to the team's onslaught of injuries, Harris actually saw more targets (21) than Johnston (19) over the first four weeks of the season. |
Brenen Thompson Brenen Thompson Misses practice again Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 8:07 PM
Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) did not practice Thursday.
Analysis: It was a second consecutive DNP for Thompson, who has been battling multiple injuries for weeks. The 23-year-old was cleared to play in Week 6 versus the Chiefs after missing the three previous games, though he didn't play. It appears Thompson may not be available for the Week 8 meeting with the Rams, especially if he doesn't practice Friday. |
Limited again Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 8:00 PM
Jackson (hamstring) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a hamstring strain in the Week 4 meeting with Seattle. As a result, he didn't play in Week 5 versus Denver and Week 6 against Kansas City while also missing practice during that span. With the Chargers coming off a bye, it appears Jackson is trending in a favorable direction regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams, though he likely has some more boxes to check before getting the green light. |

Tre' Harris Tre' Harris Remains limited Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 6:07 PM
Harris (hamstring) remained limited in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Harris suffered his hamstring injury in Week 5 against Denver and missed Week 6 ahead of last week's bye. With back-to-back limited practices to open Week 8 prep, Harris has a decent chance of suiting up Sunday against the Rams. In a broken Chargers offense, it's difficult to get excited about anyone on the team for fantasy. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Logs full practice Thursday
Thu, Oct 29, 2026, 5:01 PM
McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: McConkey has back-to-back uncapped practices under his belt this week, but it remains unclear if he's gained clearance from the concussion protocol, which requires getting the all-clear from an independent neurologist. Friday's injury report will reveal if he still needs to pass such an exam ahead of Sunday's game versus the Rams. |

Healthy for Week 8
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 9:02 PM
Dupree (neck) is off the Chargers' injury report ahead of the team's matchup versus the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Dupree missed the team's Week 6 loss to the Chiefs due to a neck injury but is now healthy again. The 2015 first-round pick has compiled five tackles (two solo) across five outings this season and should continue to serve as a rotational defender against the Rams. |

Progressing in recovery
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 8:38 PM
Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Perryman (undisclosed) is "close" to returning from injured reserve, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: Harbaugh added that Perryman isn't quite ready to return to practice, and given that the veteran linebacker's 21-day practice window has yet to open, he's probably not available for Sunday's game against the Rams. Perryman landed on IR on Sept. 1 due to an undisclosed injury that he may have picked up toward the tail end of training camp. |

Doesn't practice due to concussion
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 8:33 PM
Leonard (concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: It is unclear when Leonard sustained his concussion, as the Chargers were on bye in Week 7. The depth cornerback has enterted the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will not be able to suit up for full-contact activities until he is cleared by an independent neurologist. |
|
Not on Wednesday's injury report
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 7:03 PM
Alt (neck) was not listed on the Chargers' official injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: Alt missed the Chargers' last two games before their bye in Week 7 because of a neck injury he suffered back in Week 4 at Seattle, but he is now on track to play Sunday against the Rams. He should start at one of the Chargers' tackle spots opposite rookie fourth-rounder Travis Burke in Week 8. |
|
Brenen Thompson Brenen Thompson Not practicing Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:57 PM
Thompson (quadriceps/hamstring) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Thompson was active in Week 6 during the Chargers' last game before their bye, but he ended up not playing any snaps, presumably due to the quad injury that kept him out for the prior three contests. Now his availability for Week 8 is in doubt, and he'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance to play Sunday against the Rams. |

Suffers hamstring setback
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:55 PM
James (hamstring) suffered a setback in his recovery and will likely miss Sunday's game against the Rams, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Analysis: James is a candidate for injured reserve and could be out for some time with a persistent hamstring injury. The star strong safety has also been discussed in trade rumors, as the 0-6 Chargers' season appears to be all but over. Tony Jefferson is set to start at strong safety in Sunday's game against the Rams. |

Tre' Harris Tre' Harris Returns to practice in limited fashion
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 6:13 PM
Harris (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Wednesday was Harris' first practice since he sustained a hamstring injury during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. He was unable to play in Week 6 against the Chiefs, but the second-year wide receiver had additional time to rest courtesy of the Chargers' Week 7 bye. It's possible he only misses one game, and he'll have two more chances to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest against the Rams. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Full practice Wednesday
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 5:36 PM
McConkey (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: McConkey was dealing with a foot injury for multiple weeks before suffering a concussion in the Chargers' last game on Oct. 18. With the benefit of the team's Week 7 bye, he didn't endure any practice restrictions Wednesday and also ditched his previous foot issue. McConkey thus appears as if he only needs clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Sunday against the Rams. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Practicing again, but still in protocol
Wed, Oct 28, 2026, 2:31 PM
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said McConkey remains in concussion protocol but will practice Wednesday, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
Analysis: McConkey was knocked out of the Chargers' Oct. 18 loss to the Chiefs after sustaining a concussion but appears to have made some progress through the five-step protocol following the team's Week 7 bye. He was spotted practicing Monday during the Chargers' bonus session coming out of the bye week and looks on track to participate in at least a limited fashion Wednesday in the Chargers' first official practice of Week 8. |

Ladd McConkey Ladd McConkey Spotted practicing Monday
Mon, Oct 26, 2026, 4:02 PM
McConkey (concussion) was spotted on the field in a no-contact jersey during the Chargers' bonus practice session Monday, Noah Furtado of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: After a Week 7 bye, the Chargers held an unofficial practice Monday as they begin prepping for a road matchup with the Rams next Sunday. Though the team won't have to release its first Week 8 injury report Wednesday, McConkey appears poised to be listed as at least a limited practice participant, which suggests that he's made some progress through the five-step concussion protocol. The wideout will look to practice fully by the end of the week and receive clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play against the Rams. |

Brenen Thompson Brenen Thompson Ends up sitting out Week 6 loss
Thu, Oct 22, 2026, 9:48 AM
Thompson (quadriceps) was active but didn't play any snaps Sunday in the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: After sitting out the Chargers' previous three games due to the quad issue, Thompson was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's contest after three limited practices. Though he got the green light to suit up, Thompson was presumably available only in an emergency since the Chargers' seven-man inactive list consisted of players who were dealing with more significant injuries. Thompson will have added time to get healthy while the Chargers are on bye Week 7, and if he can fully practice at some point during Week 8, he'll have a good chance at seeing his first game action since Week 2 in the team's Nov. 1 matchup with the Rams. |
KeAndre Lambert-Smith KeAndre Lambert-Smith Draws nine targets in loss
Tue, Oct 20, 2026, 8:09 PM
Lambert-Smith caught five of nine targets for 32 yards during Sunday's 22-6 loss at Kansas City. He also lost a fumble.
Analysis: Lambert-Smith drew 12 targets total over 10 games during his rookie season in 2025, so his involvement in Week 6 is eyebrow-raising. His 59 offensive snaps actually paced the Chargers' wide receivers Sunday, with Tre' Harris (hamstring) sidelined and Ladd McConkey knocked out of the contest early by a concussion. Offensive Coordinator Mike McDaniel notoriously covets players with breakaway speed, which Lambert-Smith definitely possesses (4.37-second 40-yard dash), so despite his putting the ball on the ground Sunday, McDaniel may continue to try to find ways to get Lambert-Smith involved as the campaign progresses. |
Cameron Dicker Cameron Dicker Scores all points in loss
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 10:01 PM
Dicker made both of his field-goal attempts in the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Dicker's 23-yard and 30-yard field goals were the only points scored by the Chargers in the team's blowout loss. While the offense could not get going, Dicker remained reliable. The 26-year-old moves to 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and a perfect nine-for-nine on extra-point attempts over six regular-season games in 2026. |
Charlie Kolar Charlie Kolar Three catches in Week 6 loss
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 8:26 PM
Kolar caught three of six targets for 20 yards during the Chargers' 22-6 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Kolar finished fifth on the Chargers in receiving yards, but he was also second on the team in both catches and targets behind KeAndre Lambert-Smith (five catches on nine targets for 32 yards). Kolar has a 6-57-10 receiving line in his two outings since returning from a two-game absence due to a fractured forearm, but he's stuck in a Chargers offense that is one of the worst units in the league this season. The Chargers will look to regroup during the Week 7 bye before facing the Rams in Week 8 on Sunday, Nov. 1. |
