Chargers HC Brandon Staley provides update on EDGE Joey Bosa

Joey Bosa cleared concussion protocol.

After sustaining a blow to the head early in Sunday’s matchup against the Bengals, Joey Bosa was taken immediately to the locker room without a visit to the blue tent.

Even though Bosa cleared concussion protocols, Brandon Staley decided to keep him from returning.

Staley said that Bosa’s history with concussions was the reason for pulling him from the game.

“As long as I’m head coach here, I’m going to be making decisions like that in the best interest of our players,” Staley said.

Throughout last season alone, Bosa sustained two concussions.

While a key piece, Staley’s decision to keep Bosa out was not detrimental since his fellow teammates still managed to apply copious amounts of pressure on Joe Burrow.

Bosa’s availability for next weekend’s game against the Giants remains to be seen.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa not expected to be shut down for remainder of season

Despite being concussed twice this season, Joey Bosa is still expected to play.

The Chargers have nothing to play for this season, as they have been mathematically eliminated from the playoffs. But that doesn’t mean that they’re going to keep one of their star players, who has been injured, off of the field for the remaining two games.

Edge defender Joey Bosa left last Thursday’s game with a concussion, which marked the second in an eight-week span. And while Bosa has been beat up with other various injuries, coach Anthony Lynn said that the team does not intend to shut him down for the rest of the season if he clears concussion protocol.

I said earlier that it would be wise to sit Bosa, especially when Los Angeles does not have anything on the line. If the team cares about his longevity, then they wouldn’t risk putting his body at risk in games that have zero significance.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa still in concussion protocol

Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa has not played the last two games.

As of Wednesday, Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol, per coach Anthony Lynn.

Bosa suffered his concussion back in Week 8 against the Broncos, which has lingered on and has forced him to miss the last two games.

Without Bosa in the starting lineup, the pass rush has stalled, only amassing one sack against the Raiders and Dolphins.

In seven games, Bosa has tallied 18 tackles, eight tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks.

If Bosa remains out this week, Jerry Tillery and Isaac Rochell would once again be in line to handle the team’s base end duties in Week 11 against the Jets.
