## Resource

Chargers’ Ladd McConkey is making slow progress after a rib injury sidelined him, working with a trainer on Thursday but still day-to-day for Sunday’s crucial divisional clash against the Raiders. His absence would hit hard, as he was their top receiver in their last game — five catches, 82 yards, and the only touchdown. With KeAndre Lambert-Smith out and Derius Davis banged up, the Chargers are scrambling to fill the void, signing Gary Jennings and bringing in Marquez Valdes-Scantling. McConkey’s return could be a game-changer, but his availability remains uncertain as they head into a pivotal matchup.
