It is a tale as old as time.
Joey Bosa and injuries.
The talented pass-rusher spent nine seasons as a member of the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers, before signing a one-year, $12.6 million deal with the Buffalo Bills this offseason.
Throughout his time in LA, he was one of the league’s scariest defenders, when he was healthy and on the field.
Unfortunately for Bosa, he has missed large portions of game time due to various injuries, and the injury bug seems to have followed him to Buffalo.
Head coach Sean McDermott announced on Tuesday that Bosa would be out for significant time due to a calf injury he had suffered last week.
“Joey Bosa will not participate today,” McDermott said Tuesday at OTAs.
“He pulled a calf. I believe it was late last week. Thursday, I believe.
“He’ll be out for, more than likely, the foreseeable (future). Springtime at least, and then we’ll get into training camp.
“Should be good to go by training camp. But I understand it just happened late last week, so still in kind of the exploratory phase of what that’s going to mean.”
McDermott tried to remain optimistic.
Bosa is a five-time Pro BowlerGetty“Joey was off to a good start before that,” McDermott said, “And so it’s unfortunate to see him go down, but it offers someone else an opportunity to step up and get some quality reps for us as we move forward.”
The head coach’s tone didn’t waver, but he did express that he was worried about the five-time Pro Bowler’s injury history.
“Listen, it is concerning,” McDermott said.
“Durability, availability are key ties to our roster. And so we basically look ahead in terms of what he’s doing now, which is getting himself the treatment that he needs, and he’s working hard at it.
“That’s all that he can control right now. We get him back when we get him back.
“Probably, at this point, training camp. We’re going to do the best job we can, and I know he is, as well, and just take it one day at a time.”
Training camp doesn’t begin until late July, so Bosa has more than enough time to get back fully healthy.
But as McDermott stated, it is worrisome that the 29-year-old is already hurt. It isn’t even June yet.
The Bills and McDermott and reigning MVP, Josh Allen, head into the season as one of the favorites to win the Super Bowl.
It would be the first championship in franchise history.
And it will be a whole hell of a lot easier to accomplish, with a healthy Bosa ready to go.
