NFL roundtable: Would Chargers’ Joey Bosa be first to go? Rams roles changing by week

LA Times  

Joey Bosa hangs his head as he observes Chargers-Packers action from the sideline on crutches. Los Angeles Times Rams beat writer Gary Klein, Chargers beat writer Jeff Miller and columnist Helene Elliott discuss what happened and upcoming prospects: Coaches will say one play does not lose a football game, but after a day-long grind filled with self-inflicted wounds the Chargers finally had taken the lead late in the fourth quarter and then. Is Joey Bosa’s injury record likely the reason the Chargers drafted Tuli Tuipulotu? Miller: The Chargers used safety Dean Marlowe much more extensively Sunday against the Packers, while linebacker Eric Kendricks and cornerback Ja’Sir Taylor saw their playing time drop as Staley tried to get safety Derwin James Jr. closer to the line of scrimmage more often. He took a back seat to veteran Bobby Wagner in 2022 but he is the defensive signal caller and, along with defensive lineman Aaron Donald and safety Jordan Fuller, the heart of the Rams defense.
