Rams’ failed trade pursuit of Chargers WR surfaces after NFL trade deadline

The Los Angeles Rams reportedly asked about trading for Chargers receiver Ladd McConkey before the NFL deadline, but the Chargers rejected at least one inquiry. The report sheds light on a possible major move as the Rams’ receiver group has been hit by injuries.

ESPN’s Dan Graziano said the Rams did not seriously pursue a receiver because they expect Puka Nacua and Davante Adams to return this season. McConkey, 24, has recorded 17 receptions for 286 yards and one touchdown; the Chargers are 0-8, and the report suggests they view him as part of their future.
