Update on Chargers’ Joey Bosa, Jerry Tillery

An update on the status of Josa Bosa and Jerry Tillery after the two were added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

On Tuesday, edge defender Joey Bosa and defensive tackle Jerry Tillery were added to the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

It remained to be seen if Bosa and Tillery were vaccinated or not.

Bosa is unvaccinated and has been deemed a close contact, according to head coach Brandon Staley.

Bosa will have to spend five days from the contact and will then have to show no positive tests. Any positive test and he would be immediately ruled out against the Steelers.

On the other hand, Tillery, who is vaccinated, needs two negative tests 24 hours apart as long as he’s asymptomatic for 48 hours to play.

Furthermore, Christian Covington will also be heading to the COVID list.

Chargers place LB Drue Tranquill on reserve/COVID-19 list

The Chargers could potentially be without one of their starting linebackers against the Vikings.

The Chargers placed linebacker Drue Tranquill on the NFL’s Covid-19/Reserve list after testing positive on Thursday, according to NFL Insider Aaron Wilson.

Tranquill is vaccinated, so he needs two negative tests within 24 hours and no symptoms to play if his positive is confirmed.

Tranquill is only the second member of the team to be on the list this season, with cornerback Ryan Smith being the first back in August.

If Tranquill misses this Sunday’s game against the Vikings, Kenneth Murray, who is trending towards being activated off the injured reserve, would start in place of him.

That would also mean that the Chargers would promote a player off the practice squad, whether that be Nick Niemann or Amen Ogbongbemiga.

This season, in seven games, Tranquill has 42 tackles, three tackles for loss and two quarterback hits.
