    Ladd McConkey (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Week 4 against the Seahawks.

    McConkey was questionable to play in this contest, and aggravated the injury in the first half. The wideouts next chance to play will be in Week 5 against Denver, but obviously he’s far from a guaranteed go for that game. He finished Week 4 with no catches on two targets.

    McConkey has spent this season as more minute to minute than day to day. He left Week 3’s game with a re-aggravation of his foot injury that was managed all week leading up to the game. It would be unsurprising to see him managed again this week, and he is no sure thing to suit up against the Broncos on Sunday.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey didn’t catch either of his targets in the first half before exiting, with one of those a drop. The 24-year-old was questionable to play in this contest, and it seems more likely than not that his day is done.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey was limited in Wednesday’s practice, downgraded to a DNP on Thursday, and returned for another limited session on Friday. It looks like the team was just heavily managing his workload during the week, but that could continue into today’s game. McConkey has been the only modestly successful part of the offense this year, and the Chargers would be wise to keep him healthy, even if that means limiting his snaps. He remains in the WR2 mix, though the injury makes him a riskier bet than usual.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey was limited in Wednesday’s practice, didn’t practice on Thursday, and was listed as an observer despite a generous “limited” tag on Friday. Either way, not a great trend. McConkey should be treated as a true question mark. If he’s ruled out, Tre’ Harris and Quentin Johnston would get a boost, but given how the Chargers have played it’s hard to start anyone into the Seattle defense.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    Rhim shared a photo showing McConkey fully suited up in pads and a helmet, ostensibly ready for practice, but he didn’t run any routes or catch any passes with the rest of the Chargers’ wide receivers early on. We expect to see McConkey listed as a limited participant later today, but he seems to be truly questionable to play at this time. Stay tuned.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    This is unfortunate. McConkey was limited yesterday by a new foot injury. Today’s absence suggests he suffered the injury at Wednesday’s practice. He is firmly in the questionable column at this time. Chargers WR Tre’ Harris has outplayed WR Quentin Johnston thus far, but the Seahawks’ defense is a formidable foe.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    We’re unsure if it’s good that McConkey is no longer listed with his rib injury or bad that he’s dealing with something new. Either way, a limited session to start the week means McConkey should be available on Sunday. He was on the field for 61-of-69 snaps in Week 3 but managed just five targets. He still turned that into four grabs for 66 yards, which isn’t a bad performance given how awful the Chargers looked. Even if the offensive environment is a limiting factor for Ladd, he remains a low-end WR2 for Week 4.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    McConkey played on 61 of the Chargers’ 69 snaps and ran a route on 37 of their 43 dropbacks, but the Chargers were unable to get him going. He did have a nice toe-tapping catch on third-and-15 to set up the Chargers deep in the Bills’ red zone, but they were unable to punch it in. Teams are going to start realizing that McConkey is the only consistent option in this Chargers offense and try to take him away. That will make him a risky WR2 in fantasy leagues until the team can figure out how to fix the kinks in their new offensive scheme.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    He practiced in full all week and will presumably be more involved than he was in Week 2, when he was on a snap count. McConkey can be started as a mid-range WR2 despite Los Angeles’ struggles so far against a Bills defense that has allowed 30 points in each of their first two games.
  • LAC Wide Receiver #15
    That makes two full practices for the Chargers’ star wide receiver. Unless he suffers a setback, McConkey will suit up on Sunday to take on the Bills. He was on the field for 24-of-34 passing plays last week, and logged just six snaps outside of that. Hopefully, he can stay on the field for almost all of QB Justin Herbert’s dropbacks this week. McConkey should be in fantasy lineups.

    Patriots brought in free agent RB Jamaal Williams for a workout.

    The Pats brought in an interesting name to work out for the backfield this week, bringing in former Packers, Lions, and Saints running back Jamaal Williams. The 31-year-old last appeared in the NFL for the Saints in 2024, tallying 164 rushing yards that season. He had a career year for the Lions in 2022, totaling 1,000 yards on the ground and leading the league in rushing touchdowns. The Patriots are looking for some depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson; there is no indication Williams will sign, but he will be practice squad depth if he does.

    Giants WR Braxton Berrios (foot) announced he will need season-ending surgery.

    Berrios announced on his Instagram that he will need season-ending surgery for his foot injury that landed him on injured reserve. The 31-year-old is primarily a special teamer, returning four punts and five kicks this season. Injuries have prevented Berrios from appearing in more than 14 games over the last three seasons and he now has his season end early as he requires foot surgery.

    Broncos signed WR Cam Ross to their practice squad.

    With Pat Bryant (ankle) suffering a multi-week injury in Week 4, the Broncos are adding to their wide receiver depth by signing Ross to the practice squad. The 25-year-old Ross was an undrafted free agent out of Virginia who spent training camp with the Broncos before he was let go in final cuts. Ross now re-joins the practice squad. EDGE Jahfari Harvey was let go from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

    Cardinals signed OL Jedrick Wills off Buffalo’s practice squad.

    He’ll replace Paris Johnson, who heads to season-ending injured reserve. Wills, the former 10th overall pick in the 2020 draft, will compete with 2026 seventh-rounder Jayden Williams for reps at left tackle in Johnson’s absence.

    Buccaneers LB Josiah Trotter (knee) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was a mid-week downgrade after a limited estimated session on Monday. Trotter’s in real danger of missing Thursday night’s game against the Cowboys.

    Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (right groin/hip) did not practice on Tuesday.

    It was an addition to the report. Never a great sign, especially on a short week. The Buccaneers aren’t carrying a practice-squad kicker, so expect some workouts as they try to find someone you won’t be starting in fantasy football with Jalon Daniels under center.

    Cardinals placed TE Hunter Long (knee) on injured reserve.

    He’ll miss at least the next four weeks. Long had played 91 snaps in his first four weeks with the Cardinals and will cede blocking duties to promoted practice-squadder Teagan Quitoriano for those of you in points-per-blocked-players leagues.

    OT Lane Johnson retired from the NFL after 14 seasons.

    We’d heard word through former Eagles EDGE Brandon Graham on a post-game show that this was on the table following Week 4, but it’s still a stunner to see it come to fruition. Johnson cites that his “personal and family priorities” have changed in his post about retiring. The stalwart Eagles right tackle made two first-team All-Pro appearances and three second teams, along with six Pro Bowls. Markel Bell started in his stead in Week 4 and should be expected to get the playing time at right tackle going forward.

    Browns designated QB Dillon Gabriel (back/IR) for return.

    His 21-day practice window will open up. There’s obviously no rush to promote him to the active roster with the Browns already dressing three quarterbacks every week, so this is probably just starting a ticking clock on a trade or cut from the quarterback room.
