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.

Report: Chargers expected to have Joey Bosa back at practice this week

The Los Angeles Chargers will get a key player back.

The Chargers will get a key player back as the regular season nears an end and they get into postseason play.

Los Angeles is expected to get edge defender Joey Bosa back at practice this week, according to NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport and Bridget Cotton.

Head coach Brandon Staley teased the possibility of Bosa and left tackle Rashawn Slater returning, and it appears the prolific pass rusher will be the first of the two.

When asked about the status of Bosa, Staley said, “We’re going to take that on a day-to-day basis.”

From the day he begins practicing, L.A. will have three weeks to activate him from injured reserve.

Bosa has been out since Week 3 when he sustained a torn groin injury that required surgery.

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

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

Throw in Kyle Van Noy coming into his own, as he has ten pressures and three sacks in the last three contests, and there should be plenty of production from the edge defender position.
