The Los Angeles Chargers are facing uncertainty ahead of their upcoming game on Sunday with star edge rusher Joey Bosa dealing with a back injury that has kept him out of practice for the second day in a row. Bosa’s status for the game is now in question as he is listed as questionable to play.
Bosa first appeared on the injury report on Wednesday as a limited participant, raising concerns among fans and analysts alike. This is not the first time Bosa has dealt with injuries, as he has only played 14 games in the past two seasons due to various ailments. Despite his talent on the field, Bosa has not been able to secure a Pro Bowl spot since 2021, when he recorded an impressive 10.5 sacks.
The saga of Bosa’s injuries continued when he broke his hand during a joint practice with the Rams on August 4. Despite requiring surgery to repair the fracture, Bosa showed his resilience by playing 40 out of 60 snaps in the season opener. In that game against the Raiders, he managed to accumulate seven tackles, a sack, and two quarterback hits, showcasing his impact on the Chargers’ defense.
In addition to Bosa’s injury concerns, the Chargers also have a few other key players on the injury report. Safety Alohi Gilman is listed as doubtful with a knee injury, while receiver Joshua Palmer, cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor, and running back Hassan Haskins are all listed as questionable for Sunday’s game.
Haskins and Taylor were limited participants in Friday’s practice, indicating that there is a chance they could suit up for the game. However, Gilman and Haskins did not participate at all, leaving their availability up in the air. With multiple players dealing with injuries, the Chargers will need to rely on their depth and resilience to overcome these obstacles and secure a victory on Sunday.
