Ladd McConkey Missed Chargers Practice With a Back Issue

Nine Los Angeles Chargers players missed practice on Thursday, complicating preparations for their Week 10 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.

This wave of absences comes as the team prepares to travel to M&T Bank Stadium for a Monday night contest.

The Chargers injury report shows several offensive and defensive players are at risk. Among those who did not participate in Thursday’s practice is receiver Ladd McConkey, who is dealing with a back issue. The team also said that Khalil Mack was out for rest, while Daiyan Henley was absent for personal reasons.

The depth of the roster is being tested as several players remain sidelined. According to the Chargers, Justin Eboigbe, Branson Taylor, and Isas Waxter are all managing ankle injuries. Brenen Thompson is working through a hamstring issue, and Kendall Williamson is sidelined with a calf injury.

Trey Pipkins III, who recently had his 21-day practice window opened, also did not practice due to a combination of personal reasons and a knee injury. This lack of availability adds pressure to a roster already dealing with several long-term absences.

Roster depth under pressure

The Chargers’ recent history with the injured reserve list shows a pattern of significant personnel shifts. CBS Sports reported that safety Derwin James was placed on injured reserve on October 31 with a hamstring injury and is expected to return in Week 12. The team has also dealt with earlier losses, including fullback Alec Ingold, who went on injured reserve on October 15 with a shoulder injury.

The impact on the offensive line is particularly noteworthy given the recent movement of players. The team previously dealt with injuries to offensive tackles Trevor Penning and Rashawn Slater, both of whom were placed on injured reserve earlier in the season. While Slater’s expected return was noted for Week 10, the current availability of the unit remains a question mark for the Monday night kickoff.

The current status of several players remains uncertain heading into the weekend. The following players were limited in practice on Thursday:
