The Los Angeles Chargers (0-3) take on the Seattle Seahawks (2-1) in Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season. Searching for their first win of the year over the reigning Super Bowl LX champions, the Bolts have learned Ladd McConkey will play.
Entering Week 4 of the NFL at Lumen Field, the Chargers need all hands on deck to pull off an improbable win over the Seahawks. Thus, the fact that McConkey (foot) was listed as questionable was far from ideal. However, reports pointed in the right direction, and Justin Herbert will have his favorite weapon available in the Emerald City.
“Ladd McConkey is likely to play today after battling a foot injury all week,” Ian Rapoport of NFL Network initially reported on his X account. “Chargers WR Ladd McConkey is active,” Adam Schefter has now confirmed.
McConkey’s stats in 2026
So far in the 2026 NFL season, McConkey has played in all three games for Los Angeles, and he will make it four in a row in Week 4. He’s been Herbert’s number-one weapon and the leading receiver for the Bolts, though it hasn’t amounted to much as the Chargers started the season 0-3 for the first time since 2017.
Ladd McConkey #15 of the Chargers.
McConkey tallies 12 receptions (15 targets) for 183 yards and a touchdown. If he couldn’t play against the Seahawks, the die may have been cast for the Chargers, who were already staring at a steep climb in the Emerald City—and still are even with McConkey active.
McConkey will suit up for the Bolts against the Hawks, and his fantasy football projections show just that. According to ESPN’s app, the wide receiver out of Georgia is projected to put up 11.75 points (PPR) against Seattle. So far, he’s had 19.2, 6.5, and 10.6 points in the first three weeks, respectively.
Players who could be in for bigger roles
Tre’ Harris proved to be the next-best option for the Bolts when McConkey isn’t available, and he may remain that way against the Seahawks’ elite defense. In fact, Harris has had more targets than McConkey in 2026 (17), but he’s made less out of them, catching 10 for 149 yards.
Pass-catchers like Oronde Gadsen and Quentin Johnson are two options offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel would like to get more involved, but they are off to slow starts in 2026.
Key takeaways
- Ladd McConkey is active for Chargers vs Seahawks in Week 4.
- Ian Rapoport reported Ladd McConkey was likely to play despite a foot injury.
