COSTA MESA, Calif. — The plan, Chargers coach Brandon Staley said Friday, is to reunite Joey Bosa with fellow edge rusher Khalil Mack for Sunday’s game against the Rams at SoFi Stadium, the first time they will have played together since the first quarter of a Sept. 25 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
“He’s looked good,” Staley said of Bosa, who practiced with his teammates Thursday and Friday for the first time since undergoing groin surgery in September. “He was getting better and better. We didn’t want to designate him to return if we didn’t feel he wasn’t capable of performing.”
The Chargers acquired Mack in an offseason trade with the Chicago Bears to bolster their pass-rushing capabilities, giving them a stellar one-two punch at the outside linebacker position and easing some of the pressure Bosa faced from opposing offensive linemen and other blockers.
