LA Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa sustained an injury in Week 3 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, which put him on the injured reserve list. Despite this, the player initially had an encouraging outlook. However, his hopes of a quick return were shattered after he was forced to go under the knife.Bosa tripped while attempting to get around the brink while rushing Trevor Lawrence. He lay on the ground as medical personnel examined him and subsequently limped off the sidelines.Earlier in October, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the pass rusher for the Chargers would be sidelined for eight to 10 weeks due to a groin rupture.Brandon Staley, the Chargers head coach, added that Bosa's injury was serious but that the franchise expects him to make a comeback at some point in the season."Bosa's return is something we anticipate. I am aware that he is positive and prepared to tackle it. He's got a great attitude right now. Because he was playing so well, it is never easy to sustain an injury like that, but we had good news in that regard when it became clear that he wouldn't miss the entire season."He could return in week 11 at the earliest. As a result, the Chargers will have a significantly diminished pass rush for most of the season.Los Angeles Chargers@chargerswe've placed Joey Bosa + Rashawn Slater on injured-reserve and signed Jason Moore + Richard Rodgers to our active roster.→ chrg.rs/3E2AXHs1114109we've placed Joey Bosa + Rashawn Slater on injured-reserve and signed Jason Moore + Richard Rodgers to our active roster.→ chrg.rs/3E2AXHs https://t.co/e643W0ihmFBosa was the 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year and has three successive Pro Bowl berths.NFL@NFLChargers DE Joey Bosa (groin) to undergo surgery and will be placed on IR.8719527Chargers DE Joey Bosa (groin) to undergo surgery and will be placed on IR. https://t.co/A8LVidnRN8Joey Bosa will be a big miss for the LA ChargersBosa is a key component of the defensive setup for the team.
