Joey Bosa is active for the Chargers' game against the Panthers despite missing the final two practices of the week due to a back issue. His playing time may be limited as the team has other options available to rotate in. Additionally, cornerback Ja'Sir Taylor is questionable with a fibula injury, while safety Alohi Gilman will miss the game due to a knee injury.

• Joey Bosa's active status is a positive sign, but his limited practice time raises concerns about his effectiveness.
• The Chargers have depth on the defensive line, which may lead to a reduced role for Bosa.
