Story summary

Ladd McConkey, the Los Angeles Chargers' top wide receiver, missed practice on Thursday due to a foot injury. This development follows his limited participation on Wednesday and casts doubt over his availability for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite playing in just three games this season, McConkey leads the team with 12 receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown. His rookie year was particularly impressive with 82 receptions for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns. However, his production dropped slightly last season before he regained his status as quarterback Justin Herbert's primary target this year. The Chargers are currently struggling at 0-3, failing to score more than 16 points in any of their first three games.
