Sacks Nix in Week 16 victory
Bosa tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Chargers' 34-27 win over the Broncos this past Thursday.
Analysis: Bosa sacked Bo Nix for an eight-yard loss midway through the second quarter. It was Bosa's second sack over his last three games, and the 2016 first-round pick has played at least 40 defensive snaps in three of the Chargers' last four contests. He's up to 5.0 sacks through 12 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to that total in Week 17 against Drake Maye and the Patriots on Saturday.

Good to go vs. Baltimore
Bosa (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: 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.

Limited Friday
Bosa (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
Analysis: 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.

Past hip issue
Bosa (hip) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bengals.
Analysis: 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 (hip) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Bosa has played through a hip injury over the Chargers' last three games, which has limited him to 18 defensive snaps in each of those contests. His snap count in Week 11 against the Bengals will likely be capped unless he's able to practice without limitations over the next two days.

Questionable for Sunday
Bosa (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.
Analysis: Bosa played through his hip issue in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, failing to record a stat across 18 defensive snaps. He practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week and will likely continue playing through the issue Sunday.

Active for Week 9
Bosa (hip) is not among the Chargers' inactives for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland.
Analysis: 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.

Questionable for Week 9

Analysis: Bosa was able to play through his hip issue in the Chargers' Week 8 win over the Saints, but he logged just 18 defensive snaps and didn't record a tackle. His limited participation in practice throughout the week suggests he'll likely suit up in Week 9. However, if he's unable to play Sunday, expect Tuli Tuipulotu to start opposite Khalil Mack as the Chargers' top edge-rushing duo.

Opens week as limited participant
Bosa (hip) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Bosa has missed three consecutive games due to a lingering hip injury, so it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field.

Bosa (hip) is listed as doubtful ahead of Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: 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.

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.

Analysis: 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.

Sacks Minshew on Sunday
Bosa tallied seven tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Bosa sacked Gardner Minshew for a six-yard loss in the second quarter of Sunday's game, which forced the Raiders to punt one play later. Bosa showed his defensive impact in the third quarter, when he punched the ball out of Zamir White's hands, and the fumble was recovered by Ja'Sir Taylor, though the Chargers' offense wasn't able to convert that turnover into points. Bosa and the Chargers will travel to Carolina to take on Bryce Young and the stumbling Panthers offense in Week 2.

Off injury report
Bosa (hand) was absent from the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Bosa (foot) restructured his contract Thursday and will remain with the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Scheduled for $22 million in non-guaranteed compensation in 2024 and $25.36 million next year, Bosa was oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty or trade target. He and fellow edge rusher Khalil Mack both ended up restructuring their contacts before roster bonuses were due later this week, giving them a third season to work together chasing quarterbacks.

Analysis: Bosa was able to practice in a limited fashion throughout the week, but he's not ready to return to the field just yet.

The Chargers designated Bosa (foot) for return from injured reserve Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Bosa was dealing with a toe issue that held him out of Week 4, so his snap count could increase as the season progresses.

Will play Monday
Bosa (toe) will play Monday versus the Cowboys, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: 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.

Expects to suit up Monday
Bosa (toe) is expected to play Monday versus Dallas, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Bosa is officially listed as questionable going into the Chargers' contest versus the Cowboys, but barring any setback, it sounds like he should be good to go. If there's bad news for Bosa, it's that his chances to rush the passer could be few and far between; Dallas has been relatively run-heavy through five games this season.

Possible for Monday
Bosa (toe) is questionable for Monday's contest against the Cowboys.
Analysis: Bosa did practice in limited fashion Saturday, his first practice participation of the week. The talented pass rusher would be in a good spot against a shaky Cowboys offensive line if he's cleared to play, but his status might not end up being decided until shortly before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bosa (toe) remained sidelined for Friday's practice.
Analysis: 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.

Inactive against Raiders
Bosa (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 matchup against the Raiders.
Analysis: A downgrade in injury status on a Saturday is always an ominous sign, and with that scenario having played out for Bosa, it's unsurprising he's now officially ruled out for Sunday's AFC West clash. The hamstring issue has been a lingering problem for Bosa since Week 2, but he'll now have the Chargers' Week 5 bye to hopefully get healthy enough to suit up against the Cowboys in a Week 6 Monday night home showdown on Oct. 16.

Doubtful for Sunday
Bosa (hamstring) has been downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's contest against the Raiders, Kris Rhim of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
Analysis: After playing 56 defensive snaps in Week 1 against the Dolphins, Bosa has played just 43 defensive snaps over the past two contests while dealing with a hamstring injury. He was initially listed as questionable Friday but was downgraded to doubtful Saturday after he was unable to log a practice session all week. Tuli Tuipulotu and Chris Rumph are in line for an increased workload opposite Khalil Mack in Week 4 if Bosa is unable to play.

Listed as questionable
Bosa (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.
Analysis: 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.

Bosa (hamstring/toe) was unavailable for the Chargers' practice Wednesday.
Analysis: 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.

Bosa recorded his third sack in as many games this season in the Charger's 28-24 victory over the Vikings.
Analysis: Bosa made his only tackle count when he took down Kirk Cousins during Sunday's contest.

Analysis: It's a downgrade for Bosa after he was limited in Wednesday's session. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday last week but still played in the Week 2 loss to the Titans, recording a pair of sacks. Bosa is someone who doesn't need many practice reps in order to play Sunday.

Analysis: Bosa played through the hamstring injury last week and managed to record two sacks despite playing on a snap count. While the 2016 first-round pick seems to be trending towards playing Sunday, it remains to be seen if he'll be a full go or if he'll be limited once again.

Bosa registered four tackles (three solo), including two sacks, in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Bosa's status was up in the air all week due to a hamstring injury, but he finished the afternoon with a team-high sack total. Despite the positive production, the 28-year-old played just 19 snaps, as the coaching staff was likely trying to be cautious with his hamstring.

Official word on the star pass rusher will arrive when the Chargers release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Speaking with reporters Thursday, Bosa noted that he added about 15 to 20 pounds in the offseason and believes he'll "be a much more effective player and pass rush with my power," Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa dropped down to about 250 pounds in 2021 as he transitioned from a traditional defensive end to an edge rusher who occasionally dropped into coverage under defensive coordinator Brandon Staley. He's now back to around the same weight as he was under former defensive coordinator Gus Bradley and noted that the added weight is "a big part of my game to be able to be powerful and be strong."

Season limited by injury
Bosa registered 10 tackles (eight solo), three tackles for loss -- including 2.5 sacks -- and a forced fumble in five games during the 2022-23 regular season.
Analysis: Bosa spent the majority of the season on injured reserve, as he missed 13 straight games after injuring his groin Week 3, an issue he aggravated Week 18. Bosa was still productive in his limited action, especially as a pass rusher. He finished the season with the sixth-most sacks and tied for the fifth-most quarterback hits on the Chargers.

Analysis: Bosa landed on IR with a groin tear after the first two games of the regular season and he was finally designated to return to practice Thursday. The Bolts still need to officially restore the 27-year-old defensive to the active roster before he can suit up again, so this move will come at some point Friday or Saturday.

The 26-year-old was a bright spot on a Los Angeles defense that was gashed for 147 yards and two touchdowns on the ground.

Could clear protocols for Week 11
Chargers head coach Brandon Staley confirmed that Bosa tested negative for the coronavirus Wednesday after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday upon being identified as a close contact of an infected person, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Mike Garafolo of NFL Network notes that because Bosa is unvaccinated, he'll still remain out for a minimum of five days due to the NFL's contact-tracing protocols. Additionally, Bosa will need to continue to test negative in the days to come before he's first eligible to rejoin the Chargers on Saturday. That means that Bosa won't be able to participate in practices this week, but the Chargers would still likely plan on the star edge rusher playing his usual allotment of snaps Sunday against…read more

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list
Bosa was put on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The edge rusher will have to complete league protocols before being eligible to return, putting his availability in question for Week 11 versus the Steelers. On the season, Bosa has 28 tackles, 5.5 sacks and three forced fumbles in nine contests. If he can't go this weekend, Kyler Fackrell will likely be asked to step into a larger role.

Sack in loss
Bosa managed four tackles (three solo), one sack and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Bosa forced his third fumble of the season and recorded his fifth sack. The impressive pass rusher has tallied one sack in more than half his games played so far, proving to be a force on the field. The 26-year-old hasn't racked up many multi-sack games this season, but he's still on pace for his fourth double-digit sack season.

Playing against Minnesota
Bosa (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The presence of Bosa should provide quite a boost to the defensive unit, as he's a disruptive force regardless of the opponent. The fact that he'll be facing a below-average Vikings offensive line should boost his upside.

One sack in win
Bosa recorded two solo tackles and one sack along with one tackle for loss in Sunday's 27-24 win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Bosa exploited a weak Philadelphia offensive line and continued to be a disruptive force as he brought his sack total to 4.5 on the season. The star pass rusher's consistent pressure throughout the game had Jalen Hurts constantly scrambling outside the pocket. Bosa remains a top-tier IDP fantasy option in Week 10 as he gets a below-average Minnesota offensive line.

Tallies another sack
Bosa managed five solo tackles and one tackle for loss during Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Bosa performed at his usual level in a game where Los Angeles' defense struggled to contain Baltimore's offense in any capacity, bringing his sack total to 3.5 on the season. After the team's Week 7 bye, Bosa will look to cause disruption against Mac Jones and the Patriots.

Gets to Carr on MNF
Bosa notched one solo tackle and one strip sack during Monday's 28-14 win over the Raiders.
Analysis: Bosa made the most of his lone sack of the night by ripping the ball out of quarterback Derek Carr's throwing hand, and his consistent pressure played a role in teammates Christian Covington, Kyler Fackrell and Jerry Tillery also notching sacks. The 26-year-old remains a top tier IDP fantasy option, though he is heading into a Week 5 matchup against Cleveland's stellar offensive line.

Picks up first sack this season
Bosa compiled four tackles (three solo), a forced fumble and a sack in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Analysis: Bosa had two roughing the passer calls in Sunday's contest with the former actually extending a drive in which Washington scored points, but the explosive pass rusher otherwise was just as dominant as ever. Injuries limited Bosa to just 12 games last season, but the 26-year-old has been reportedly healthy throughout all of training camp leading up to 2021.

Analysis: The 2016 first-round pick signed a five-year, $135 million contract last July and finished with 39 tackles, 7.5 sacks and a fumble recovery over 12 games last season.

Looks unlikely for Week 17
Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn said there's a "good chance" Bosa (concussion) won't be available Sunday against the Chiefs, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Bosa appears set to close out the 2020 campaign with consecutive absences due to his second concussion of the season. The 6-9 Chargers are eliminated from the playoffs, giving the team little incentive to rush the star defensive end back on the field. Isaac Rochell would likely draw a start if Bosa is in fact sidelined Week 17.

Concussion confirmed
Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed Tuesday that Bosa is in the NFL's concussion protocol, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Popper notes that the Chargers don't intend to shut Bosa down for the season, but given that the star defensive end is dealing with his second concussion in eight weeks, the team may be hesitant to rush him back. Regardless, he'll need to return to practice and gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to play Week 16 against the Broncos and/or Week 17 against the Chiefs.

Bosa has exited Thursday's game against the Raiders and is being evaluated for a concussion.
Analysis: Bosa was clearly playing through injuries Thursday, and he had four tackles (two solo) to begin overtime. If he's indeed placed in the concussion protocol, the star defensive end won't be eligible to retake the field. Earlier this season Bosa missed two games due to a concussion suffered Week 8.

Good to go after limited practice
Bosa (shin) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Bosa practiced on a limited basis both Tuesday and Wednesday, showing enough to avoid an injury designation for Thursday's game. This shin injury limited the pass rusher's practice reps earlier this month, but he has still suited up for games and will do so again here as he looks to build on his season total of 7.5 sacks.

Bosa (shin) was a limited participant during the Chargers' practice session Thursday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa racked up nine tackles, three sacks, one pass deflection and a fumble recovery while fielding 85 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday in a loss to the Bills. The two-time Pro Bowler was not declared to have inherited an injury postgame, so a DNP on Wednesday raised eyebrows.

Misses practice Wednesday
Bosa didn't suit up in Wednesday's practice due to a shin injury.
Analysis: Both Bosa and Uchenna Nwosu (shoulder) resided on Wednesday's practice report, so the team is starting the week thin at defensive end. Bosa is coming off an eight-tackle, three-sack performance in last week's win over the Bills, so the team could be trying to manage his practice reps during the week. Bosa's participation level at practice during the rest of the week will be a better indicator of his chances to play Sunday against the Patriots.

Monster performance against Bills
Bosa recorded eight tackles, three sacks, a pass breakup and a fumble recovery in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Bosa has put up two sacks in nine different games since entering the league in 2016, and he finally recorded a trio of sacks for the first time in his career. This was a magnificent outing for Bosa, as he also tied his career high in tackles. He'll look to keep it rolling against Cam Newton and the Patriots in Week 12.

Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed after Wednesday's practice that Bosa has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Bosa was a full participant in the Chargers' first Week 11 practice, and the confirmation from his coach that he's no longer in the concussion protocol clears the way for the starting defensive end to return from a two-game absence Sunday against the Jets. Through seven outings this season, Bosa has accrued 18 tackles and 4.5 sacks.

Still in concussion protocol
Coach Anthony Lynn said Wednesday that Bosa (concussion) is still in concussion protocol, though Lynn added that the team might have more info about Bosa's status by the end of the day, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.
Analysis: Bosa hasn't played since sustaining a concussion in Week 8, but he was able to practice on a limited basis last week, suggesting that he's trending in the right direction. If the standout pass rusher is cleared in time to face the Jets on Sunday, he'll have a terrific opportunity to add to his season total of 4.5 sacks against one of the league's least impressive offensive lines.

Ankle still bothersome
Bosa, who suited up in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints, said his ankle is bothering him the most among his array of injuries, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: Bosa added that he likely wouldn't have been ready to play Week 5 if the game had been Sunday rather than Monday. The defensive end recorded a sack in the loss to New Orleans but was limited to playing just 37 percent of the defensive snaps. He should benefit from the schedule change that has the Chargers on bye in Week 6, but his practice participation will be worth monitoring next week ahead of an Oct. 25 matchup with the Jaguars.

Manages to play, records sack
Bosa (ankle/knee/triceps) recorded one sack, two quarterback hits and a tackle in Monday's 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints.
Analysis: It was clear Bosa was limited by a long list of injuries as the Chargers opted to just use the pass rusher sparingly. The end result saw the fearsome pass rusher record just 37 percent of the team's defensive snaps, but he still managed to bother quarterback Drew Brees just about every time he dropped back to pass. The bye week probably couldn't have come at a better time for Bosa, who will look to recover from his laundry list of injuries in time for the Week 7 matchup against the Jaguars.

Bosa picked up two tackles and a sack in the 21-16 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: It was another poor outing for Bosa, as he jumped offside or drew a neutral zone infraction on at least three plays throughout the course of the game. Luckily those gaffes don't count against IDP users, but it's been a bit surprising to see Bosa struggle so much with opposing hard counts.

Sack masks poor outing
Bosa posted four tackles (two solo), one sack, one tackle for a loss and two quarterback hits in the overtime loss Sunday to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Bosa's game probably looks better on the box score than it does in real life as the fearsome pass rusher was victimized by hard counts from Patrick Mahomes on multiple occasions that either extended a play or outright gave the Chiefs a first down. It's hard to fault Bosa given the matchup, and it seems likely he could have an opportunity to make similar plays next week against the Panthers' porous offensive line.

Analysis: Bosa wreaked havoc on rookie quarterback Joe Burrow throughout the game. He got to him for a sack early in the second quarter, taking Burrow down for a three-yard loss. Even when he didn't get home for a sack, he was regularly in the backfield causing pressure and incompletions.

Bosa posted 67 tackles, 11.5 sacks and a forced fumble throughout the 2019 season.
Analysis: Bosa earned his second trip to the Pro Bowl by finishing tied for second in the AFC in sacks while also racking up the fifth-most tackles of any defensive end in the NFL. The Chargers are expected to make the fourth-year pro one of the highest paid defensive ends ever sometime this offseason, although the 24-year-old still is under contract thanks to the fifth-year option, which will pay him $14.4 million in 2020.

Compiles another sack
Bosa picked up four tackles and a sack in the 24-17 loss Sunday to the Raiders.
Analysis: In an almost eerily similar fashion, Bosa is on pace to tie or surpass his 2017 figures in tackles (70) and sacks (12.5), thanks in large part to playing a full 16-game season for just the second time this season. In Bosa and Melvin Ingram, the Chargers still boast one of the most destructive pass-rushing duos in the NFL, although it remains to be seen if they'll wreak havoc on the Chiefs in a meaningless Week 17 contest.

Nets two sacks
Bosa recorded four tackles and two sacks in the 45-10 win Sunday over the Jaguars.
Analysis: Sunday's outing was the first time since Nov. 3 that Bosa picked up a sack, although the 24-year-old is still on pace to set career highs as a pass rusher.
