Joey Bosa hasn't featured for the Los Angeles Chargers since Week 3 of the 2022 NFL season. The linebacker exited the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a groin injury. It was later revealed that he needed to undergo surgery and was placed on LA's injured reserve list.
However, Bosa's surgery was a success and his return to the NFL has been highly anticipated by the Chargers faithful. Some NFL fans are also eager to know whether the four-time Pro Bowler will be eligible to play in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans.
As things stand, Bosa is still on the Chargers' injured reserve list and it's unlikely that he will return to play against the Titans. However, reports claim that he could return to training with the team on Wednesday. Bosa has been crucial for Los Angeles' defense over the past few years. His absence from the team has been a big blow.
Once Bosa begins practicing, Los Angeles will have three weeks from that date to activate him from the injured reserve list. Brandon Staley's side is currently second in the AFC West with a 7-6 record, on course to reach the playoffs. If the Chargers make the playoffs, Bosa is likely to be available for them in the postseason.
Joey Bosa stats and fantasy outlook
In his three games at the start of the season, Joey Bosa put up seven tackles, four quarterback hits, and 1.5 stacks. He totaled 19.25 fantasy points, averaging 6.4 FPPG.
The Chargers have the fifth-fewest sacks in the league. While there is some uncertainty over whether Bosa will be able to match the displays that he put up prior to his injury, his availability will surely come as a massive boost for the team's struggling defense.
Injuries to players like safety Derwin James and cornerback Bryce Callahan have certainly held Los Angeles at a disadvantage. The return of their long-lost pass rusher is thus bound to aid their shaky defense.
