Joey Bosa Highlighted as Doubtful in Chargers-Cardinals Injury Report
Final Injury Update on Joey Bosa
The Chargers have just unveiled their final injury report for this week’s primetime clash against the Cardinals, and it’s one of the biggest of the season for Los Angeles. Cornerback Deane Leonard is the sole player who has already been ruled out this week due to a hamstring injury, which also prevented him from participating in last week’s win over the Broncos. Joey Bosa (hip), Hayden Hurst (groin), and Quentin Johnston (ankle) are listed as doubtful players.
Bosa's Ongoing Hip Injury
Bosa continues to struggle with a hip injury, making this his third game missed in a row. Johnston exited the previous week’s matchup early, likely marking his first game absence this season.
Several other players are questionable, including D.J. Chark (groin), Derius Davis (hamstring), Simi Fehoko (shoulder/groin), Kristian Fulton (hamstring), Ladd McConkey (hip), and Ja'Sir Taylor (fibula). Should Chark return this week, it would significantly bolster the team amidst Johnston's expected absence.
Potential Impact on the Team
If the rookie Johnston is sidelined, anticipate Brenden Rice seeing his first snaps with the offensive unit. Also important to monitor is the status of McConkey, who is currently questionable but could provide extra depth.
As for Taylor, he seems to be on track for a return after missing the Broncos game, which would be a critical boost for a secondary heavily impacted by injuries over recent weeks.
