The Chargers made a few roster moves ahead of their Week 17 matchup with the Rams.

Los Angeles activated edge defender Joey Bosa from injured reserve. Bosa has been out since Week 3 with a groin injury that he had to have surgery on.

In correspondence, L.A. waived running back Sony Michel to make room for Bosa on the roster.

Additionally, the Chargers promoted RB Larry Rountree and defensive lineman David Moa from the practice squad.

Rountree has appeared in two games this season. In 2021, he rushed for 87 yards and a touchdown on 36 carries.

Moa, a former undrafted free agent out of Boise State, spent time with the Vikings and Falcons before landing in New York, where he played in four games and had three tackles in 2021.

Chargers’ Joey Bosa designated to return from injured reserve

The Chargers’ defense should soon be getting some reinforcement.

The Chargers’ defense should soon be getting some reinforcement.

On Thursday, Los Angeles designated edge defender Joey Bosa for return from injured reserve. Bosa has spent most of the regular season on IR after sustaining a groin injury that required surgery in Week 3.

Bosa can begin practicing with the team as soon as Thursday, opening a 21-day window in which he participates in all team activities without counting against the 53-man roster.

He may be activated during those three weeks, at which point he would be eligible to play in the Bolts’ remaining games, including the playoffs.

Getting the four-time Pro Bowler is enormous for a defense that has finally gotten into stride in the past three games.

During the first two games of the season, Bosa and his partner-in-crime Khalil Mack combined for 5.5 sacks, 20 quarterback pressures, and 13 hurries.
