Deemed day-to-day by Harbaugh
Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh noted Monday that McConkey is viewed as "day to day" with back spasms, Alex Insdorf of BoltBeat.com reports.
McConkey was not among the Chargers' Week 9 inactives, but didn't play any snaps in Sunday's loss to the Texans after experiencing back spasms during pregame workouts. Harbaugh's assessment that the wideout is 'day-to-day' offers hope that McConkey will be in the clear ahead of next Monday's game against the Ravens, and a big step toward that outcome would be his full participation in practice no later than Saturday.
