Bosa (hip) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
Bosa has not practiced all week due to a hip injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Steelers. The Chargers have a bye next week, so the earliest Bosa could return to action will be in the lead-up to the Chargers' Week 6 matchup against the Broncos on Oct. 13. With Bosa sidelined Sunday, Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree will both see increased snaps at outside linebacker opposite starter Khalil Mack.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Ready to go
Rotowire
Bosa (back) is active Sunday against the Panthers.
Bosa closed out the week with back-to-back DNPs but that won't keep him off the field in Week 2. The Ohio State product's ability to suit up is obviously good news for the Chargers and a boost to their entire defense against Carolina.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Could play Week 2
Rotowire
Bosa (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.
The 29-year-old edge rusher was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday due to a back injury, but it appears he still has a shot at suiting up Sunday. If Bosa's back issue keeps him out of the Chargers' Week 2 affair, expect Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree to see increased work with Los Angeles' first-team defense.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Downgrades to DNP
Rotowire
Bosa (back) did not practice Thursday.
Bosa opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but it appears his back injury is severe enough for him to miss Thursday's session. The downgrade in participation doesn't bode well for Bosa's chances of playing in Week 2 against the Panthers, but he has one more chance to see the field Friday.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Dealing with back issue
Rotowire
Bosa (back) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Bosa appears to be dealing with another injury after playing well in the Chargers' regular-season opener, as he was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a back issue. The 29-year-old's practice participation Thursday and Friday will provide more clarity on whether he'll be able to suit up in Week 2.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Off injury report
Rotowire
Bosa (hand) was absent from the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.
Bosa was spotted practicing without a club on his surgically repaired left hand Monday, so it's no surprise he's been removed from the injury report two days later. The 29-year-old defensive end has been limited to just 14 appearances over the past two seasons, but with better health in 2024, Bosa could combine with Khalil Mack to form one of the top pass-rushing tandems in the league. Bosa remained productive in his nine games in 2023, logging 20 tackles, 6.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Nearing return?
Rotowire
Bosa (hand) was spotted participating in Monday's practice without a club on his left hand, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Bosa broke his left hand during a joint practice with the Rams on Aug. 4, but he appears to be nearing a full return to the field. The 2016 first-round pick has struggled with injuries over the past two seasons, appearing in just 16 regular-season games and recording 30 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks. It's unclear if Bosa will be ready for the Bolts' Week 1 contest against the Raiders, but practicing without a club Monday appears to be a step in the right direction.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Exits practice Sunday
Rotowire
Bosa departed early from Sunday's practice due to an apparent left hand/wrist injury, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Bosa headed into the locker room with trainers following a play, but at this point the level of concern about the hand/wrist issue is unclear. The star pass rusher has been hampered by injuries in recent campaigns, playing in just 14 regular-season contests across 2022 and 2023. More information about Bosa's exit Sunday could be made available following the practice session.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Returns to field
Rotowire
Bosa (foot) took part in practice during OTAs on Monday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Bosa remained sidelined after suffering a foot injury in Week 11 against the Packers and finished out the 2023 campaign on IR. The veteran pass rusher has been severely hampered by injuries the last two seasons, appearing in just 14 total contests. His ability to take part in voluntary workouts this early in the offseason is good news for the Chargers as the 2024 campaign approaches.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Cleared to practice
Rotowire
The Chargers designated Bosa (foot) for return from injured reserve Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
The transaction opens up a 21-day window in which Bosa can be evaluated in practice before the Chargers would have to add him to the 53-man roster or keep him on IR for the remainder of the season. Given that he hasn't played since Week 11 and won't be able to get more than two practices under his belt this week, Bosa may not be cleared to play ahead of this Saturday's game against the Bills. A return during Week 17 or 18 may be more realistic, but the 5-9 Chargers likely won't risk bringing the star edge rusher back in the midst of a non-contending season unless the team is confident he's 100 percent recovered from his right foot sprain. Bosa appeared in nine games and tallied 20 tackles, 6.5 sacks, one fumble recovery and one forced fumble prior to being placed on IR.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Officially goes to IR
Rotowire
The Chargers placed Bosa (foot) on their injured reserve list Wednesday.
As expected, Bosa will now have to sit out at least the next four weeks as he recovers from the foot injury he sustained in Week 11 at Green Bay. Rookie third-rounder Tuli Tuipulotu and Justin Hollins will probably see increased reps on the edge until Bosa is ready to play again.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: IR stint likely
Rotowire
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Monday that Bosa has a foot sprain and is "likely" headed to injured reserve, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Per Popper, Staley acknowledged that it's "to be determined" whether Bosa will play again this season. With that in mind, the star pass rusher seems bound to miss some time, beginning with Sunday's game against the Ravens.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Exits with foot injury
Rotowire
Bosa is questionable to return to Sunday's game after suffering a foot injury.
Bosa was carted back to the locker room after limping to the sidelines in the first quarter of Sunday's contest, per Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times. Tuli Tuipulotu, a 2023 second-round pick, is expected to see more work on the Chargers' defensive line with Bosa back in the locker room.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: DNP with illness Thursday
Rotowire
Bosa (illness) didn't practice Thursday.
Bosa wasn't listed on the practice report Wednesday. He'll get another chance to practice Friday ahead of Sunday's Week 10 date with the Lions. Bosa has missed a lot of practice time this season but has been absent for just one game, recording 6.5 sacks and one forced fumble in seven contests.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Will play Monday
Rotowire
Bosa (toe) will play Monday versus the Cowboys, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Bosa was questionable all week with a toe injury but is now officially good to go for Monday night's game. The 2016 first-round pick missed the team's Week 4 win against the Raiders but will now look to help slow down Dak Prescott and the rest of Dallas' offense.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Misses practice again Friday
Rotowire
Bosa (toe) remained sidelined for Friday's practice.
Bosa has battled hamstring and toe issues already this season and missed Week 4. He had the Week 5 bye to rest up, but Bosa may have to find his way into a limited practice Saturday in order to play Monday night against Dallas. Bosa has 3.0 sacks through three appearances this season.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Listed as questionable
Rotowire
Bosa (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.
Bosa was a nonparticipant at practice all week, so his status is murky heading into Sunday. He fought through the injury for last week's victory over the Vikings but only ended up playing 25 defensive snaps (32 percent). Even if he does get the green light, he could end up looking at another limited workload. More clarity on his status will presumably come Sunday morning.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Bosa (hamstring/toe) was unavailable for the Chargers' practice Wednesday.
Bosa popped up on the injury report Wednesday with a couple of injuries and he will have two more practice sessions to return to the field prior to Week 4 versus the Raiders. Considering he has played in each of the last two contests with the hamstring injury, he seems likely to go again Sunday against Las Vegas.
