Chargers head coach Brandon Staley had encouraging updates on offensive tackle Rashawn Slater and edge defender Joey Bosa as they work their way back from their perspective injuries.
Slater is currently on the injured reserve with a biceps injury, which he sustained in Week 3 against the Jaguars.
Staley said Slater is “weeks away,” but “there is a potential for him to return.”
While Slater has been sidelined, rookie Jamaree Salyer has been the starting left tackle. Getting Slater back would be a massive boost for an offensive line that’s struggled this season.
On the other side of the ball, Bosa has been sidelined since Week 3 when he sustained a groin injury, which he then had surgery on.
When asked about Bosa returning, Staley responded, “Anything’s possible.”
Staley added that Bosa could potentially return to the practice field this week ahead of Los Angeles’ matchup with the Titans.
Getting Bosa back would be huge, as he and Khalil Mack were wreaking havoc before he went down. In two games, Bosa recorded ten quarterback pressures, two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks.
