Chargers rookie Joey Bosa's Week 1 status in doubt after missed practice

The Joey Bosa contract saga mercifully came to an end last week, but the Bosa injury saga may have just begun.

According to the San Diego Union-Tribune, the Chargers rookie defensive end was held out of team drills Monday because of "tightness" in his left leg.

Chargers coach Mike McCoy said the injury is not a long-term concern, but it could jeopardize Bosa's playing status for Sunday's season opener against the Chiefs. Health issues aside, the No. 3 overall draft pick has yet to practice with the team in full pads and is short on much-needed reps.
