DE Joey Bosa (All B1G, B1G Def POY, All-American, National Champion, Def ROY, 5x Pro Bowl, Buffalo Bills)

Chargers HC Brandon Staley said LB Joey Bosa (foot) is likely headed to injured reserve.
Even though the Pro Bowl pass rusher avoided structural damage after x-rays came back negative on the afflicted foot, it appears as if he will miss the next four games, at minimum, with a foot sprain suffered early in the team’s Week 11 loss to the Packers. In what is quickly becoming yet another lost season for the Chargers, it would appear to make the most sense to place the veteran linebacker on injured reserve to let his foot heal fully.

Los Angeles Chargers Release Former Ohio State Star Joey Bosa​

Joey Bosa is a free agent for the first time in his NFL career.

The former Ohio State star was released by the Los Angeles Chargers on Wednesday after nine years with the organization.



Bosa’s release comes as he was set to have a cap hit for more than $36 million in 2025. By releasing Bosa, the Chargers saved more than $25 million on their 2025 salary cap.

The Chargers drafted Bosa with the No. 3 overall pick in 2016 after a spectacular three-year career at Ohio State in which he earned All-American and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year honors twice and helped lead the Buckeyes to the 2014 national championship.

In nine seasons with the Chargers, Bosa made five Pro Bowls, recording 343 total tackles with 87 tackles for loss, 72 sacks, 156 quarterback hits, 17 forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries. He became the NFL’s highest-paid defensive player when he signed a five-year, $135 million contract extension with the Chargers in 2020, but he missed time with injuries in each of his last three seasons in Los Angeles.

Bosa is now free to sign with any NFL team, and there’s already speculation that he could reunite with his younger brother Nick Bosa in San Francisco, who’s expected to be in the market for a free-agent defensive end to line up opposite Nick.
