The edge rushers. who haven’t played together since Sept. 25 when Bosa injured his groin, will reunite against the Rams on Sunday.
COSTA MESA — The plan, Chargers coach Brandon Staley said Friday, is to reunite Joey Bosa with fellow edge rusher Khalil Mack for Sunday’s game against the Rams at SoFi Stadium, the first time they will have played together since the first quarter of a Sept. 25 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The Chargers acquired Mack in an offseason trade with the Chicago Bears to bolster their pass-rushing capabilities, giving them a stellar one-two punch at the outside linebacker position and easing some of the pressure Bosa faced from opposing offensive linemen and other blockers.That plan lasted all of two games plus a little less than one quarter before Bosa was sidelined on a seemingly routine play during the Chargers’ 38-10 loss to the Jaguars.
“He’s got to get his football conditioning like everyone else,” Staley said when asked about possible restrictions. “It’s not like he’s been playing for three months, but he’s going to go out there and play. That was our plan. He’s going to go out there and he’s going to play. He’s going to play.” Said Bosa, hurriedly taking off his sweat-soaked workout gear and hustling toward the showers: “You missed your chance , and now I’m naked.”Defensive lineman Morgan Fox, watching the scene and laughing, said: “Good talk.”“It’s always fun having Joey out there, being himself, having fun, playing ball,” Mack said.
