The Los Angeles Chargers are facing a bit of concern on the defensive front as edge rusher Joey Bosa’s practice availability took a hit on Thursday. Bosa, who was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday’s injury report due to a back injury, was unable to participate in practice on Thursday. Despite this setback, Bosa had an impressive performance in the team’s season-opening win over the Raiders, racking up seven tackles and a sack.
Bosa’s partner in crime on the defensive line, Khalil Mack, also appeared on the injury report but was able to fully participate in Thursday’s practice after resting earlier in the week.
The Chargers’ injury report remained largely unchanged from Wednesday, with safety Alohi Gilman and cornerback Ja’sir Taylor missing their second straight practice due to knee and fibula injuries respectively. Running back Hassan Haskins, receiver Joshua Palmer, and linebacker Denzel Perryman were limited participants in practice due to toe, knee, and thigh injuries.
As the team prepares to face the Panthers on Sunday, all eyes will be on Bosa’s status. The team is expected to provide an update on his chances of playing after Friday’s practice. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing situation.
