with a foot injury but the Los Angeles Chargers defensive end is hopeful he can return in early November.Bosa addressed his injury for the first time Wednesday as the Chargers (1-2) began preparations for Sundayr17;s matchup against San Francisco (1-2).r0;There is a little instability in the tendon http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-derek-watt-jersey , but therer17;s a good chance I wonr17;t have surgery,r1; Bosa said. r0;Ir17;m trying to be as safe as possible. If I try to rush back now it wouldnr17;t be good.r1;Bosa has a bone bruise to his left foot. He first injured it during training camp on Aug. 7 and didnr17;t play in any of the four preseason games. Bosa acknowledged he should have been cautious for another week or two instead of trying to rush back for the regular-season opener against Kansas City. He reinjured the foot on Sept. 5 and has been sidelined since then.After Bosa re-aggravated the injury, he visited Dr. Robert Anderson, who is a foot specialist based in Green Bay. Bosar17;s foot was put in a cast for two weeks and he had it taken off earlier this week.Now that he is back in a walking boot, Bosa is hoping to resume running in a couple weeks. His latest goal r12; provided there are no setbacks r12; is to return for the final nine games of the season. That would be Nov. 4 at Seattle and follows the Chargersr17; bye week.r0;I could have prevented this if I wasnr17;t so set on pushing to be back (for the regular season). It has been a huge learning experience,r1; Bosa said. r0;Itr17;s a tough injury to deal with but when the time comes I will be 100 percent ready.r1;Bosa, who has 23 sacks in his first two NFL seasons, isnr17;t the only player in his family who is dealing with an injury. Younger brother Nick Womens Travis Benjamin Jersey , who is a junior All-American defensive end at Ohio State, is likely out until November due to a lower abdominal muscle injury.The two talk every day and the older Bosa joked that his brother r0;is enjoying all the best food her17;s ever eatenr1; while rehabbing in Philadelphia.r0;I asked him how he felt and he said her17;s r16;ready to take down a small villager17; so he must be feeling real good,r1; he said. r0;It (stinks) for my dad and the family right now but wer17;re both looking ahead.r1;Bosar17;s absence has definitely had an impact as two of the Chargersr17; starters on the defensive line are out. Defensive tackle Corey Liuget is eligible to return Monday when his four-game suspension for violating the NFLr17;s policy on performance-enhancing substances ends.Without Bosa and Liuget, the Chargers are ranked in the middle of the league in sacks with seven. They are tied for 22nd in the league in quarterback pressures after being tied for 10th last season. They are also blitzing on only 22.1 percent of pass plays, which is below the league average of 25 percent.It also means that defensive end Melvin Ingram has seen more double teams and been held to 1.5 sacks.r0;We need more pressure. Wer17;re going to be one-on-one on the backside since they are sliding protection toward Mel and we have to win. Somebody has to win,r1; coach Anthony Lynn said.San Francisco, which will have C.J. Beathard starting at quarterback following a season-ending knee injury to Jimmy Garoppolo, has allowed 14 sacks Keenan Allen Jersey , which is tied for fourth-most in the league.Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said the Chargersr17; scheme reminds him a lot of San Franciscor17;s.r0;Ir17;m sure therer17;ll be some new things that theyr17;re going to game plan against us that your17;ve got to be prepared for,r1; Shanahan said. r0;Obviously, having gone against a defense like that helps, but you can never count on it, what theyr17;re doing. Therer17;s always something different.r1;___ I donr17;t know about you, but Ir17;m reserving flights and buying champagne!" />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteBolts From The BlueBolts From The Blue, a Los Angeles Chargers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsChargersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections San Diego Chargers Daily LinksSan Diego Chargers NewsSan Diego Chargers OffseasonSan Diego Chargers HistorySan Diego Chargers HumorThe Chargers Remain Formidable in ESPNr17;s Post-FA Power RankingsNew,4commentsI donr17;t know about you http://www.thechargerslockerroom.com/authentic-ladainian-tomlinson-jersey , but Ir17;m reserving flights and buying champagne!PDTShareTweetShareShareThe Chargers Remain Formidable in ESPNr17;s Post-FA Power RankingsThe first (and second) waves of Free Agency have come and gone, and the primary focus for each NFL team is the upcoming 2019 Draft.

It appears that the fine folks at ESPN feel that the Chargers can and should remain a top-5 club, even though half of their additions are unlikely to see the field this year. That speaks well to the strength of the Chargers as a team well-positioned for several years of success.However, itr17;s worth noting that these rankings donr17;t strongly correlate to in-season success.For instance, letr17;s take a look at the 2018 ranking to see how they thought the Chargers would do:2018 ESPN Pre-Draft Power Ranking:After 2017r17;s season, I suppose that rank was fair, but we could see a hint of what was to come in the second half of their inaugural LA season.-Jason r0;Fear.The league is rank with itr1; Michaels
