Though a last-minute compromise with the San Diego Chargers salvaged some of Joey Bosa's training camp, it appears fans will have to wait longer to see the No. 3 overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft on the field.
General Manager Tom Telesco confirmed during XTRA 1360 Fox Sports Radio that the Bolts' newest defensive end will likely miss Sunday's season-opener against AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs.
"Obviously, we're not optimistic right now," Telesco said, according to ESPN. "It truly is a day-to-day injury. It's a minor hamstring, and our goal is to make sure it doesn't turn into something long-term.
"I know Joey's desire to play is very, very high, but we need to be smart about it, too," Telesco said.
Bosa originally injured his hamstring Sept. 5th and has missed every practice since.
The Chiefs host the Chargers Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS. Bosa could make his debut in Week 2 when the Jacksonville Jaguars come to San Diego.
