Chargers release Week 6 injury report vs. Chiefs, with McConkey, Henley and Molden limited
Los Angeles listed 13 players as limited and six as did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Sunday’s AFC matchup at Arrowhead Stadium.
The Los Angeles Chargers released their first Week 6 injury report for their game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and it includes multiple key names among both limited and non-practice participants.
According to the team’s report, six Chargers did not practice on Wednesday: Joe Alt (neck), Derwin James (hamstring), Donte Jackson (hamstring) and Kayode Awosika (fibula), along with two additional players listed in the non-practice group (Tre’ Harris also did not practice on Wednesday with a hamstring issue).
The Chargers also had 13 players listed as limited, including wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot), linebacker Daiyan Henley (knee), and wideout Quentin Johnston (chest). Other limited designations in the report included Brenen Thompson (quad) and Rodney Shelley (hamstring).
The limited list further included Jamaree Cladwell (knee), Bud Dupree (neck), Justin Eboigbe (shoulder), KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring), Elijah Molden (hamstring), Dalvin Tomlinson (hamstring), and Maquez Valdez-Scantling (rib). Kendall Williamson (ankle) was also listed as limited in that same group.
Not every player was limited: tight end Charlie Kolar (forearm) was a full participant on Wednesday. The report also states that the Chargers opened KeAndre Lambert-Smith’s 21-day practice window on Wednesday.
The Chargers and Chiefs are scheduled to play Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium, with kickoff set for 1:25 p.m. (PT).
The team listed a betting line that has Los Angeles as an underdog for Week 6, but the injury report is the clearest concrete guidance on personnel availability heading into the matchup.
Why It Matters
- With 13 players limited and six not practicing early in the week, Los Angeles faces uncertainty around several roles on both sides of the ball.
- Injury designations for key skill positions, including McConkey and Johnston, can shape the Chargers’ offensive play-calling and depth options.
- Defensive availability is also in question with limited listings involving Henley and Molden, while the non-practice group includes Derwin James and Donte Jackson.
- The timing matters because practice participation can change day to day; Wednesday’s report provides a baseline for who could be closer to game-ready by Sunday.
