Last week, San Diego Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa made his return to the field after his injury, playing a limited number of snaps for the team. Heading into this week’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, Bosa is listed as “questionable,” but it sounds like he’s going to play a healthy number of snaps.
On Sunday morning, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that despite being listed as questionable ahead of Sunday’s game, Joey Bosa will indeed play and is actually expected to play even more snaps this week than he did last week.
“#Chargers DE Joey Bosa, who’s questionable with a hamstring injury, will be active and the plan is to play him a little more than last week,” Pelissero said in a post on X, the social media site that is formerly known as Twitter.

Obviously, this is big news as Bosa is one of the top pass rushers in the entire NFL. As a result, the NFL world had plenty to say about it on social media on Sunday afternoon.
More Darrisaw less Bosa please! https://t.co/ADQ45K1y36

He got two sacks in like 10 snaps last week. Bosa on the field is good for the Chargers.

#Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa is ACTIVE for today’s game against Minnesota. He was on a pitch count last game after dealing with a hamstring injury.

I actually liked him only coming out on important pass rush plays https://t.co/c9jLwIsKmx

We’ll have to see what sort of impact Bosa has on the Chargers as he tries to help keep them from an 0-3 start to the 2023 NFL season.
