Bosa (hip) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.
A lingering hip injury resulted in Bosa being deemed questionable heading into Sunday, but he'll be able to play through the issue for a second straight week following a three-game absence. The veteran pass rusher logged only 26 percent of the Chargers' defensive snaps against New Orleans last Sunday, and he may similarly be on a reduced snap count against the Browns. Bosa has 2.0 sacks through four contests this season.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Opens week as limited participant
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Bosa returned from a three-game absence this past Sunday against the Saints, though he played just 18 defensive snaps and did not record a tackle. The 2016 first-round pick is still working through a hip injury he picked up in Week 3 against the Steelers, so his limited practice participation to open the week is to be expected. Bosa should be good to go against the Browns on Sunday as long as he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity over the next two days.

Bosa will make his return to the field after missing the past three games with a hip injury. In his three appearances so far this season, the 2016 first-round pick has accumulated nine tackles (seven solo), with 2.0 sacks, and he will look to increase those totals during Sunday's matchup.

Rotowire
Bosa (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Bosa has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering hip injury, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Unlikely to play vs. Arizona
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Bosa has been bogged down with a hip injury since Week 3 against the Steelers, and it appears the 2016 first-round pick will miss his third straight game as a result. If Bosa is indeed inactive, expect Bud Dupree and Tuli Tuipulotu to see more snaps with the first-team defense Monday opposite starting edge rusher Khalil Mack.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Doesn't practice Friday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) was listed as a DNP on Friday's injury report.
Bosa has opened the week with back-to-back DNPs due to a hip injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Steelers. The 2016 first-round pick is in jeopardy of being sidelined for a third straight game unless he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Saturday. If Bosa cannot play Monday against the Cardinals, Tuli Tuipulotu and Bud Dupree will compete for snaps with the first-team defense at outside linebacker opposite starter Khalil Mack.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) logged a limited practice Friday and is questionable for Los Angeles' Week 6 matchup against Denver.
Bosa hurt his hip in Week 3, and he hasn't returned to the field since. He has nine tackles (seven solo), including 2.0 sacks, to his name so far this season. A switch from DNPs to a limited practice Friday looks promising for the star pass rusher, but his final status will be revealed prior to kickoff in Denver.

Rotowire
Bosa (hip) was listed as a DNP on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.
Bosa suffered a hip injury in Week 3, which kept him out of the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs. The Chargers are coming out of the bye week, but even with the extended rest, it appears Bosa's hip continues to be an issue. He'll have two more chances to return to practice this week ahead of Sunday's game against the Broncos. Tuli Tuipulotu will see more work with the first-team defense if Bosa is sidelined.

Rotowire
Bosa (hip) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

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.

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.

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: 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.

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.

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.
