The Chargers listed wide receiver Ladd McConkey as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos because of a foot injury. The team confirmed his status in its final injury report released Friday.

McConkey did not participate in any of the Chargers' three practices this week. He was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, leaving his availability uncertain heading into the divisional matchup.

The receiver also dealt with a foot issue during the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
