Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey was back at practice and participating in 11-on-11 drills Tuesday after missing time with an undisclosed injury, according to The Athletic.
Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh had previously said that McConkey was 'working through something minor' while not disclosing which body part he had injured. McConkey had been limited or absent the last two weeks of practice before returning on Tuesday, per media reports.
McConkey also refused to disclose what injury he had been dealing with, simply saying, 'I'm good.'
'I feel really good. It felt great to get back out there a little bit, catching passes,' McConkey said. ' ... I feel like I'm (100 percent) now. It's just building everything back up, getting in the swing of things, getting my conditioning back where it needs to be.'
McConkey is looking to build on a breakout rookie season in 2024 during which he led the team and set Chargers regular-season rookie records with 82 receptions and 1,149 receiving yards, breaking records previously set by Keenan Allen in 2013, to go along with his seven touchdown catches.
In his playoff debut, McConkey set an NFL rookie postseason record with 197 receiving yards in the Chargers' 32-12 loss at Houston. He scored the team's lone touchdown of the game on an 86-yard catch-and-run scramble into the end zone.
The Chargers provided more good news on Tuesday as RB Najee Harris took part in football drills for the first time this training camp, a sign of progress in his recovery from an offseason eye injury. Working off to the side with an athletic trainer, Harris ran and handled a football after spending the past 10 days limited to conditioning work.
Harris, 26, has been on the non-football injury list since the start of camp after sustaining what his agent, Doug Hendrickson, described as a 'superficial eye injury' during a July 4 fireworks mishap. The Chargers have not disclosed details of the injury, in line with coach Jim Harbaugh's practice of withholding specifics during the preseason.
Harbaugh has stopped short of confirming Harris will be available for Los Angeles' Sept. 5 season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs in Brazil. 'There's a chance he is (available),' Harbaugh said last week, adding that the veteran back can now open his eye but declining to offer a medical prognosis.
If Harris remains on the NFI list when rosters are finalized Aug. 26, he must miss the first four games.
