COSTA MESA, Calif. — The hits keep coming for the Chargers, who revealed Wednesday that edge rusher Joey Bosa would undergo surgery to mend a groin tear suffered in the first quarter of their loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Chargers expect him back on the field before the season ends.
Bosa, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, will be replaced by Chris Rumph II, a second-year player who will make his first start in the NFL on Sunday against the Houston Texans, with veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy also expected to contribute. The Chargers drafted Rumph in the fourth round of the 2021 draft, and he’s been strictly a backup.
“The same things you expect out of Joey, I expect out of myself,” Rumph said.
