Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa, who has been dealing with a glute strain that affected his sciatic nerve, plans to be back in the lineup when the team takes on the New Orleans Saints this weekend. EL SEGUNDO — At one point, the pain was so intense that Chargers outside linebacker Joey Bosa said he slept on an exercise ball he swiped from the training room at the team’s headquarters. He said he curled up in a fetal position for hours because that was the only way to ease the pain.
The pain was excruciating, unending, and he couldn’t perform rehabilitation exercises after the team’s return from Pittsburgh. He couldn’t sleep because the pain kept him up as he lay in bed. The only cure for his sleepless nights was to drape himself over that large exercise ball and hope for the sandman to come.
“I’ve been telling you how good I’ve been feeling and here I am missing all these weeks, but it’s finally coming around. I had two good practices. I think getting through this week, this game, I think it’s going to keep stacking and I’m going to continue to improve and, hopefully, get back to the form I was in.
Bosa, 29, said he didn’t believe the end of his nine-year NFL career was at hand, but it wasn’t too difficult to imagine it coming to an end in the not-too distant future. After all, he was sidelined by a broken hand that required surgery during training camp as well as by foot and groin injuries that limited him to only a handful of games in recent seasons.
