Joey Bosa said a couple weeks ago that he was optimistic about returning after the Chargers' bye week

As Los Angeles returned to practice on Monday Womens Michael Schofield Jersey , the third-year defensive end said he still needs to make more progress."From now it is going to be a week-to-week-type thing," Bosa said after practice. "People keep asking me when I am going to be ready. The second my foot is ready to practice on a Wednesday I will play that week."I have that confidence. It is exciting to actually see a light at the end of the tunnel even though I don't know how long the tunnel is. It hasn't been a fun experience at all."The third-year defensive end hasn't played this season due to a bone bruise to his left foot. He first injured the foot during training camp on Aug. 7 and didn't play in any of the four preseason games. Bosa tried to rush back in time for the start of the regular season but reinjured the foot on Sept. 5 and has been sidelined since then.Coach Anthony Lynn hasn't declared Bosa out for Sunday's game at Seattle but he hinted that Bosa wouldn't be doing any team or individual drills."He's getting close but it is still a process. I don't want to rule him out because he is getting closer," Lynn said. "He may do some things on the side. He's been gradually working his way on the field."Lynn said that Bosa did some straight ahead running during the bye week and did some change of direction stuff during Monday's practice, which Lynn called "a glorified walkthrough." Teams normally have one practice during the bye week but Lynn gave his 5-2 team the week off after a 20-19 win over the Tennessee Titans in London on Oct. 21."You don't throw a guy right back into the fire who has been gone 8-9 weeks. I'm sure we'll work him slowly," Lynn said of Bosa, who has 23 sacks over the past two seasons.After struggling with their pass rush early in the season, the Chargers have learned to adapt without Bosa. They have 10 sacks over their past three games with all but one of them coming from the defensive line. Defensive ends Isaac Rochell, Melvin Ingram and Darius Philon each have two sacks."It has been really tough watching this season go by without having any impact at all," Bosa said.Bosa isn't the only player whose health status will be watched over the week. Melvin Gordon missed the Tennessee game due to a hamstring injury but Lynn said that the fourth-year running back appeared to be better during the bye week. Gordon is fifth in the AFC in yards from scrimmage with 745.This also could be the week when they have to make a decision on a kicker. Caleb Sturgis resumed kicking Monday after missing the past two games with a quadriceps injury. Michael Badgley has made all three of his field-goal attempts and is 7 of 7 on extra points.Los Angeles has a four-game winning streak but returns with a tough road test against the Seahawks Youth Casey Hayward Jersey , who have won four of their last five after an 0-2 start. The rest of the November schedule is favorable as the Raiders, Broncos and Cardinals have a combined record of 5-18.The Los Angeles Chargers will lose to the Kansas City Chiefs Later, Jamie will give you three reasons the Los Angeles Chargers would win when they play host to the Kansas City Chiefs this weekend. For now, we will address three reasons the Chargers will instead lose their home opener.Kareem HuntLast year, Kareem Hunt rushed for 1,327 yards and 8 touchdowns. He rushed for 327 of those yards and 2 of those touchdowns in only two games against the Chargers. Hunt is one of the NFL’s premier talents at the running back position, and the Chargers defense (while strong overall) is porous against the run. They were one of the worst rushing defenses last year and they will be short on depth this weekend in part because Corey Liuget is starting the season off with a 4-game suspension. Overall, Hunt vs. Chargers run defense is just a really bad matchup for the home team.Joey BosaThe Chargers will be without their best player on Sunday because Bosa has been ruled out with a foot injury. The Chargers have a very talented defense, but a good chunk of that defense is young and another chunk of it is returning from injury after missing a good bit of the preseason. That is a unit that was really counting on its great pass rushing duo in Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Now Youth Joe Barksdale Jersey , they will have to rely on Ingram and a rookie in Uchenna Nwosu to take pressure of a secondary that will be dealing with the likes of Tyreek Hill and Sammy Watkins.Travis KelceThe Chiefs tight end, nicknamed Zeus or Baby Gronk (which he hates) depending on who you’re talking to, is one of the elite tight ends in the NFL. The Chargers have a strong secondary, but most of that strength can be found on the boundaries at the cornerback position. Kelce will most likely draw Kyzir White or Derwin James in coverage. Both of those players are athletic, skilled, and have already shown great promise, but they are also rookies who will be playing in their first real NFL games. Covering Travis Kelce is a trial by fire that nobody would envy. It is hard to picture a version of this game where Kelce doesn’t make multiple big plays, and it will be a bit of an upset if he does not find the end zone.
