Chargers expect McConkey and Harris against Rams; James ruled out
Ladd McConkey completed three full practices after a concussion, while Tre’ Harris returned to full participation on Friday.
The Chargers head into their matchup against the Rams with receivers Ladd McConkey and Tre’ Harris set to play, but safety Derwin James will miss the game because of a hamstring injury.
McConkey no longer has an injury designation after participating fully in three practices. He sustained a concussion against the Chiefs in Week 6 and recovered following Los Angeles’ Week 7 bye. His 13 receptions and 200 receiving yards rank second on the team in 2026.
Harris also had his injury designation removed. A hamstring problem limited his participation in practices on Wednesday and Thursday before he took part fully on Friday.
Also ruled out were defensive back Deane Leonard with a concussion, guard Kayode Awosika with a fibula injury and receiver Brenen Thompson with quad/hamstring injuries. Cornerbacks Donte Jackson and Rodney Shelley each have hamstring injuries and carry questionable designations for the Rams game.
