Bozeman (concussion) is not listed on Thursday's injury report.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman could not suit up for Los Angeles' regular-season finale in Week 18, but he's now fully cleared the NFL's concussion protocol and is on track to play in Sunday's wild-card round on the road against New England. Expect Bozeman to draw his usual start at center versus the Patriots.

Bozeman (concussion) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman drew the questionable tag for Week 18 after logging a full practice Friday, but he will not play in Sunday's regular-season finale. Given his ability to practice in full, the veteran center has a good chance of clearing the league's concussion protocol in time for the wild-card round of the AFC playoffs. Andre James is slated to start at center in Bozeman's absence.

Bozeman (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman was limited in the first two practices of Week 18 prep before logging a full practice Friday, indicating that he is progressing through the league's concussion protocol. The final step before clearing protocol is to pass an evaluation by an independent neurologist. If Bozeman is unable to play against Denver, then Andre James would likely start at center.

Bozeman (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old must clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol in order to play in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Broncos. If Bozeman is sidelined in Week 18, expect Andre James to assume the Chargers' top center duties.

Bozeman (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman popped up on Wednesday's injury report due to a knee injury. He drew the questionable tag after logging back-to-back limited practices to close out the week, and he has done enough to be cleared to play Sunday. Bozeman will continue to serve as the Chargers' starting center while Andre James provides depth at the position.

Bozeman has been rotating between left guard and center with Zion Johnson every day at training camp, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman, who signed a two-year, $6.5 million deal with the Chargers this offseason, is firmly expected to start along the offensive line, but it's very much up in the air as to what spot he'll occupy come Week 1. The team seems intent on making the best use of Johnson, a 2022 first-round pick, meaning Bozeman could potentially slide into the final remaining opening along the offensive line.

Bozeman is signing a one-year contract with the Chargers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman was released ahead of the new league year last Wednesday in a cost-savings move by the Panthers. The veteran offensive lineman started all 17 games at center for Carolina last season, but he also has experience playing left guard. He at least should provide quality depth on the Chargers offensive line, if not earn a starting job in 2024.

Bozeman is expected to be released by the Panthers on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman originally joined Carolina ahead of the 2022 season, and he re-signed with the team on a three-year, $18 million in March of 2023. The 29-year-old's expected release date coincides with the beginning of the new league year Wednesday, which is also when free agents are eligible to sign with new teams. Bozeman started 28 of his 34 appearances for the Panthers, and he started 48 games in each of his previous three campaigns in Baltimore.

Bozeman signed a three-year, $18 million contract to remain with the Panthers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman will remain in Carolina after impressing on a one-year contract in 2022. The 28-year-old center has started 59 games over the past four seasons between the Ravens and Panthers.

Bozeman (ankle) isn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman sprained his ankle during a mid-August practice and was sidelined for the Panthers' final two preseason games. However, he appears to have cleared the issue and should be full go for Week 1. The 2018 sixth-round pick is expected to operate as the team's backup center to Pat Elflein.
