Derwin James, Ladd McConkey set to play Week 9 vs. Titans

The Los Angeles Chargers will have safety Derwin James and receiver Ladd McConkey available for their Week 9 game against the Tennessee Titans. James, who suffered an ankle injury in the Week 8 victory over the Minnesota Vikings, has recovered sufficiently during the team's extended break and will not miss any action. He has contributed 49 total tackles, five tackles for loss, six quarterback hits, three passes defensed, and one interception this season. McConkey, dealing with a calf issue earlier in the week, was listed as a full participant on Friday and will play. He ranks second on the team with 43 receptions, 468 yards, and three touchdowns for the 2025 season.

Guard Mekhi Becton (knee), tight end Will Dissly (illness), long snapper Josh Harris (chest), and defensive back Deane Leonard (knee) are listed as questionable. Harris and Leonard will need to be added to the 53-man roster to participate
