SAN DIEGO -- One of the few benefits of Joey Bosa remaining unsigned for over a month for the San Diego Chargers is that the team’s first-round draft pick likely will start the regular season healthy.
A year ago, the same could not be said for last year’s No. 3 overall selection in the NFL draft, with Dante Fowler Jr. suffering a torn ACL in his left knee during the first day of rookie minicamp and missing the entire 2015 season.
ESPN NFL draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. sees a healthy Bosa ready to contribute to a San Diego defensive line that desperately needs help as an advantage for the Chargers.
