Bosa told reporters after Monday's practice that he has "moved on" from a calf injury that he sustained during a workout in late May, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa has appeared in just 28 regular-season games over the past three years due to injury, with his calf issue being his latest setback. However, the veteran edge rusher is participating in training camp practices and will have the opportunity to build chemistry with the rest of the Bills' defensive front. Bosa's calf injury will be closely monitored during training camp, with the goal for him to be fully healthy for the Bills' regular-season opener against the Ravens on Sept. 7.

Head coach Sean McDermott said Wednesday that Bosa will have his training camp reps managed while working through a calf injury, Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
"We'll have a rep plan for [Bosa] and a way to manage things to the best of our ability to try and keep him as healthy as possible," McDermott relayed to reporters before Wednesday's practice. Bosa has missed 23 regular-season games since 2022 and hasn't played more than 54 percent of snaps in a season since 2021 due to injury. The veteran defensive end could be held out of preseason games as he aims to be healthy for the Bills' Week 1 clash against the Ravens on Sept. 7.

Bosa (calf) was inactive for the start the Bills' mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Maddy Glab of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa remained on the sidelines as minicamp got underway, continuing to nurse the calf injury that forced him to miss OTAs. With only two days left in minicamp, the 29-year-old will likely sit it out completely, and he'll shift his focus to being ready for training camp in late July.

Coach Sean McDermott said Tuesday that Bosa will not participate in offseason workouts this spring due to a calf injury, Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News reports.
EDGE Analysis
McDermott said that Bosa "pulled a calf" and that he is expected to be ready for training camp in July, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN reports. The update could still be viewed as concerning for Buffalo, given Bosa has missed a combined 23 games over the past three seasons. Until he's ready for football activities again, his absence should open up more first-team reps for veteran A.J. Epenesa and rookie third-rounder Landon Jackson.

The Bills are slated to sign Bosa to a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa will now head to Buffalo after having racked up a combined 62.0 sacks across his nine seasons with the Chargers. He should help fill the void left at defensive end following the release of Von Miller and will likely split time with both Greg Rousseau and A.J. Epenesa.

The Chargers officially released Bosa on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa, a five-time Pro Bowler and 2016 first-round pick, had been Los Angeles' longest-tenured player. Once one of the league's premier pass rushers, injuries have limited Bosa to just 28 combined regular-season contests over the past three years. He had just 5.0 sacks across 14 appearances in 2024, less than the 6.5 sacks he recorded across just nine games in 2023. Having been scheduled for roughly a $36.4 million cap hit in 2025, Bosa never seemed a realistic candidate to remain with the Chargers, barring a significant pay cut. Now, still just heading into his age-30 season, Bosa figures to draw notable attention as one of the few capable edge rushers on the open market.

Bosa finished the 2024 regular season with 5.0 sacks among his 22 tackles (17 solo) in 14 appearances (nine starts).
EDGE Analysis
Bosa's days as a dominant pass rusher appear to be behind him, as he has just 14.0 sacks over the past three regular seasons while being limited to 28 appearances over that span. He tacked on a sack in the playoffs, but that wasn't nearly enough to prevent the Chargers from crashing out with a 32-12 loss to the Texans in the wild-card round. The big-name pass rusher is under contract at a cap hit of $36.47 million for 2025, but the Chargers can get out of the deal with $11.11 million in dead cap space, and LA will likely take that out given Bosa's declining production in recent years after he compiled double-digit sack totals in four of his first six seasons.

Bosa tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Chargers' 34-27 win over the Broncos this past Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa sacked Bo Nix for an eight-yard loss midway through the second quarter. It was Bosa's second sack over his last three games, and the 2016 first-round pick has played at least 40 defensive snaps in three of the Chargers' last four contests. He's up to 5.0 sacks through 12 regular-season games, and he'll look to add to that total in Week 17 against Drake Maye and the Patriots on Saturday, Dec. 28.

Bosa (hip) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa opened the week with consecutive limited practices due to a hip issue, but he finished strong with a full practice Saturday. Bosa and Tuli Tuipulotu could see an increased snap count Monday if fellow edge rushers Khalil Mack (groin) and Bud Dupree (foot) are unable to play.

Bosa (hip) was a limited participant in Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Bosa played through his hip issue in the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals, recording just one total tackle across a season-high 53 defensive snaps. The Ohio State product has been battling this hip issue since late September, so Friday's limited session is likely precautionary. Bosa is likely to suit up for Monday night's matchup against the Ravens unless he downgrades to no participation in Saturday's practice.
