Bosa (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Ravens.
Bosa opened the week with consecutive limited practices due to a hip issue, but he finished strong with a full practice Saturday. Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu could see an increased snap count Monday if fellow edge rushers Khalil Mack (groin) and Bud Dupree (foot) are unable to play.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Limited Friday
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Bosa played through his hip issue in the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals, recording just one total tackle across a season-high 53 defensive snaps. The Ohio State product has been battling this hip issue since late September, so Friday's limited session is likely precautionary. Bosa is likely to suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens unless he downgrades to no participation in Saturday's practice.

Chargers' Joey Bosa: Past hip issue
Rotowire
Bosa (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Bosa upgraded to a full workload Friday after opening the Chargers' week of practice with back-to-back limited sessions, suggesting that he's moved past his hip issue in time for Sunday's matchup. The Ohio State product could start opposite Tuli Tuipulotu as part of the Chargers' top edge-rushing duo Sunday if Khalil Mack (groin), who's listed as questionable, is sidelined. Bosa has had his snap count limited over the last three games, though he told reporters Friday that the plan is for him to play "about 30, 30-plus snaps" during Sunday's game, per Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Bosa played through his hip issue in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, failing to record a stat across 18 defensive snaps.

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 (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.

Bosa suffered a hip injury in Week 3, which kept him out of the Chargers' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs.

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.

Rotowire

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.
