Los Angeles Chargers News

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Upgraded to full participant Thursday Valdes-Scantling (ribs) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Valdes-Scantling was limited Wednesday, though his full participation Thursday suggests he will be good to go Sunday versus the Chiefs. The 32-year-old has appeared in three games for Los Angeles in 2026, catching two passes (five targets) for 22 yards.

Brenen Thompson - Limited Thursday Thompson (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Thompson has appeared in just two games for the Chargers this season. He practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday and Thursday, though he has some hurdles to clear before getting the green light to play Sunday versus the Chiefs.

Derwin James Jr. - Absent from practice Thursday James (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

Impact James has missed the Chargers' last two games because of a hamstring injury. He hasn't practiced all week, so chances are he is heading toward a third consecutive absence. If James can't suit up for the Week 6 meeting with the Chiefs, Tony Jefferson and Genesis Smith may remain more involved.

Donte Jackson - Doesn't practice again Thursday Jackson (hamstring) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Jackson didn't play in Sunday's meeting with the Broncos. He missed his second consecutive practice Thursday, so it doesn't appear he's moving in a positive direction toward suiting up in Week 6 versus the Chiefs.

KeAndre Lambert-Smith - Limited in another practice Lambert-Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact One of six Chargers receivers on the Week 6 injury report, Lambert-Smith is the only one who isn't currently on the 53-man roster. He's been on injured reserve since Week 2 due to a hamstring injury, but after having his 21-day practice window opened Tuesday, Lambert-Smith could have a shot at suiting up this Sunday in Kansas City. He's been a limited participant in both of the first two practices of the week, so he may need to turn in a full session Friday in order for the Chargers to feel comfortable activating him.

Tre' Harris - Sidelined for another practice Harris (hamstring) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact The Chargers have held Harris out of their first two practices of the week, a development that comes as little surprise after head coach Jim Harbaugh described the wideout as "more week-to-week" than day-to-day coming out of this past Sunday's loss to the Broncos, per Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com. Unless Harris is able to make a surprise return to practice Friday, he'll likely miss his first game of the season this Sunday in Kansas City.

Quentin Johnston - Remains limited in practice Johnston (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Johnston has operated with a cap on his reps in the Chargers' first two Week 6 practices.

Ladd McConkey - Stays limited in practice McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact McConkey practiced in a limited fashion for the second day in a row.

Alec Ingold - Heads to IR The Chargers placed Ingold on injured reserve Thursday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Per Noah Furtado of The Athletic, Ingold wasn't included on the Chargers' initial Week 6 injury report Wednesday before being a late addition on account of the shoulder issue. He'll be sidelined for at least the next four games, making him ineligible to play until Week 11 versus the Jets on Nov. 22. The fullback hadn't logged any carries and recorded three receptions for 35 yards on four targets through Los Angeles' first five games.

Denzel Perryman - Won't play at Kansas City Coach Jim Harbaugh said Wednesday that Perryman (undisclosed) will be out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.

Impact Per Ricardo Sandoval of USA Today, Harbaugh told reporters back before Week 1 that he only expected Perryman to spend four games on IR with his unspecified injury, but he'll now be missing his sixth game of the year. Until he's back on the field, veteran Del'Shawn Phillips figures to continue to see increased reps at linebacker.

Brenen Thompson - Limited in practice Wednesday Thompson (quadriceps) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Thompson has returned to limited practice after logging consecutive DNPs in the lead-up to the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. The wide receiver did not participate in the contest and the weekend of rest appears to have boosted his recovery process. Thompson will likely need to upgrade to a full participant by Friday's session to dodge any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling - Limited with rib issue Valdes-Scantling (ribs) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Valdes-Scantling is dealing with a rib injury that he likely suffered during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. The wide receiver was not given an official injury designation and has already practiced in a limited fashion during the first prep session of Week 6. This indicates that Valdes-Scantling is dealing with a minor injury and will likely be able to suit up for Week 6 against the Chiefs.

Tre' Harris - No work Wednesday Harris (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Harris is week-to-week with the injury he sustained in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, so it comes as little surprise that he did not see any action Wednesday.

Quentin Johnston - Gets in limited session Johnston (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact A chest injury kept Johnston off the field for Week 5, but he was able to get some work in Wednesday. Fellow pass catchers Ladd McConkey (foot) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) are also banged up -- the latter did not practice Wednesday -- so it remains to be seen what the Los Angeles receiver room will look like Sunday against the Chiefs.

Ladd McConkey - Listed as limited participant McConkey (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's injury report.

Impact Head coach Jim Harbaugh revealed earlier Wednesday that McConkey would get some work in, and he was officially marked down with a limited tag. It's too early to tell if McConkey will take the field in Week 6, but his participation in Wednesday's session bodes well for his chances of doing so.
