The Los Angeles Chargers began Sunday’s matchup against the Green Bay Packers with a scary injury to star edge rusher Joey Bosa. The former Ohio State standout finished a play with a significant limp, holding up his right leg after getting tangled up with a Packers offensive lineman.

Bosa took a cart off the field to the locker room and hid his face with a towel as tears streamed. He’s had 20 tackles with 6.5 sacks in eight games so far this season. He missed most of the 2022 season as he dealt with injuries to his groin and core muscles.

The Chargers announced that he is questionable to return for the Week 11 matchup against the Packers. They classified the linebacker’s injury as one to his foot.

The Green Bay Packers welcome the Los Angeles Chargers to Lambeau Field for a pivotal mid-November game.

Both the Packers and the Chargers are coming into this game with losing records on the season. Both teams also had higher expectations for this season and are looking to turn things around as quickly as possible. In particular, Green Bay has lost five of its last six games and is now third in the NFC North. Without turning things around quickly, the Packers won’t have a shot at winning the division.

Last week, Green Bay lost a close game to the Pittsburgh Steelers. That was the Packers’ fourth one-score loss this season. So, it’s easy to see how close Green Bay is to potentially having a winning record this season. The Chargers, meanwhile, are coming off a close loss to the Lions. That was also Los Angeles’ fourth one-score loss of the season.
