Five-time Pro-Bowl defensive end Joey Bosa has been suspended for violating the NFL’s personal conduct policy. The suspension will last until August 26th, meaning Bosa will miss the first four games of the regular season.
The NFL has not released details about the violation, but it is believed to be related to an incident that occurred during the offseason. Bosa has a history of off-field issues, including a DUI arrest in 2016.
The suspension is a significant blow to the Los Angeles Chargers, who are hoping to contend for a playoff spot this season. Bosa is one of the most dominant defensive players in the league, and his absence will be felt on the field.
The Chargers will have to rely on their other defensive players to step up in Bosa’s absence. They also have a number of young players on offense who will need to develop quickly.
The Chargers are hoping to make a deep playoff run this season, but Bosa’s suspension will make that task more difficult.
