Joey Bosa On COVID-19 List As Close Contact
3 years agoLos Angeles Chargers edge rusher Joey Bosa was put on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday as a close contact of defensive lineman Jerry Tillery, according to head coach Brandon Staley. Bosa is unvaccinated, though, and must quarantine for five days, per the league's COVID-19 protocols. If he continues to test negative and stays asymptomatic, he would be eligible to return on Saturday and play on Sunday night against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bosa is tied for the league lead with three strip sacks and has 5.5 sacks on the season, so losing him for a Week 11 tilt against the Steelers would be big for the Chargers defense. Tillery has started eight games and is third on the team with eight QB hits. He's more unlikely to play this weekend after testing positive.
