The Chargers have one of their larger game status lists of the year and it's unfortunately only Week Four.

After sitting out Thursday's practice with a foot injury, wide receiver Ladd McConkey apparently returned to practice on Friday. However, per ESPN's Kris Rhim, McConkey did not run routes or warm up with the other receivers during the portion that was open to the media.

Both starting safeties Derwin James and Elijah Molden were also given a questionable status ahead of Sunday. James wore a cast on his fractured pinky against the Bills but told reporters this week he would not wear it against the Seahawks. Molden returned to practice this week after missing the last two games.

Lastly of note, cornerback Donte Jackson is questionable with a concussion he suffered against the Bills. He missed Wednesday's practice but return to participate in a limited fashion on Thursday and Friday.

Offensive guard Kayode Awosika, tight end Charlie Kolar, and defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson are all set to miss their second games after suffering various injuries against the Raiders.
