No. 1 in the 30-second version

Chargers wide receivers Ladd McConkey and Brenen Thompson missed a second straight practice before Monday's game at the Ravens.

According to SB Nation, McConkey is dealing with back spasms that kept him out of last week's loss to the Texans, and Thompson has missed the previous six games. The fan blog Bolts From The Blue reports that Tre' Harris moved from limited to full participation Thursday, Deane Leonard went from limited to full as he returns from a concussion, and Justin Eboigbe progressed from not practicing to limited. Trey Pipkins missed a second straight practice with a knee injury or personal reason, while Denzel Perryman was a full participant Thursday and David Njoku was limited for a second day.

No. 2 in the 30-second version

Chargers edge rusher Bud Dupree publicly questioned the organization's accountability after eight straight losses.

Dupree told reporters at Friday's practice, "Don't ask hard questions to us; ask hard questions to them." The NY Post column calls the Chargers the NFL's worst team and says the front office kept all its players before the trade deadline, except for a failed Broncos trade involving Daiyan Henley.

No. 3 in the 30-second version

Nine Chargers, including Ladd McConkey with a back injury, sat out Thursday's practice before the Ravens game.

According to Bolts From The Blue, 18 Chargers were on the injury report, and the other nine were limited, including David Njoku and Denzel Perryman, who are likely to be activated off injured reserve this week. Daiyan Henley missed Thursday's practice for personal reasons after a botched trade to the Broncos, and Jim Harbaugh said his availability was TBD. McConkey has not practiced since his back spasms kept him from playing in the Texans game.

An FAA nationwide ground stop could disrupt Saturday travel for NFL teams, including the Rams.

The FAA issued the ground stop Friday afternoon after a communications issue affecting air traffic control centers, and FAA technicians are investigating. The Rams are scheduled to fly to Arizona Saturday afternoon for Sunday's 1:05 p.m. PT game against the Cardinals in Glendale. If the grounding lasts through Saturday, a charter bus trip of about 390 miles, roughly six to seven hours, could be needed, and the Rams have not announced a contingency plan.

Giants fall 21-24 to Commanders after a late touchdown drive and a disputed DPI penalty.

John Harbaugh said the failed third-and-1 quarterback sneak by Jameis Winston was a normal sneak and not a Tush Push. Harbaugh said he would not have tried the delay-of-game trick on the fourth-and-1 play again. CBS Sports reported Giants players criticized the DPI penalty, and ESPN said New York's division lead is shrinking.
