The Los Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa returned to practice on Thursday for the first time since undergoing groin surgery in Week 3. Bosa complained about continuous groin discomfort until he tore it completely during the 38-10 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on September 25.
Despite his prolonged absence, Bosa has experienced confidence in his return to the field, explaining, “I’m feeling really good. It’s kind of revitalizing, honestly.” He has since been designated to injured reserve, meaning that the Chargers will have 21 days to decide whether or not to reactivate him upon returning to fitness.
“His was something that really caused me a lot of pain and kind of stress throughout the last couple of years, and I’ve gotten to a point where I was used to it and I didn’t understand how much was really wrong,” Bosa said of his injury issue. “Obviously, it sucks to miss all this time, but its honestly something that I really, really needed to get done.”
The Chargers are currently 9-6 and are currently second in the AFC West. With a comfortable lead over third-placed Las Vegas Raiders, this is the first time since 2018 that the Chargers have clinched a playoff berth.
