Ladd McConkey did not participate in the Los Angeles Chargers' 27-7 preseason victory against the Houston Texans. Along with McConkey, teammates Tre' Harris and Quentin Johnston also did not play, which allowed JaQuae Jackson, KeAndre Lambert-Smith, and rookie Brenen Thompson to take most of the snaps at wide receiver during the match.
McConkey's performance declined from his rookie season to his second season in 2025. With the exit of veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen and the recent appointment of new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel, there is a possibility for McConkey's output to improve in the upcoming 2026 season. No additional information about McConkey's status or future performance was shared.
