Chargers vs. Rams Week 17 Injury Report: Friday
COSTA MESA – The Chargers completed their final practice of the week in preparation for the Rams. For the second consecutive day, safety Derwin James and edge rusher Joey Bosa participated in practice.
Chargers coach Brandon Staley said the plan is to activate Bosa ahead of Sunday's game in which he would appear in his first game since Week 3 after undergoing surgery to his groin.
Despite being listed as a limited participant in back-to-back days, James remains in the league's concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Sunday's game. Fullback Zander Horvath (ankle) has been deemed questionable.
On the Rams' injury front, six players received game designations, including defensive tackle Aaron Donald (ankle), who's been ruled out.
