According to Ian Rapoport, the Chargers are promoting OLB Andrew Farmer to the active roster.
He’ll take the roster spot of OLB Joey Bosa, who’s going on injured reserve with his foot injury.
The Chargers confirmed the move and announced FB Zander Horvath will take Farmer’s spot on the practice squad.
Farmer, 23, signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent out of Lane following the 2023 NFL Draft. He was waived coming out of the preseason and re-signed to the practice squad.
In 2023, Farmer has appeared in one game for the Chargers and recorded one tackle.
Bosa, 28, is a former first-round pick of the Chargers back in 2016. He finished his four-year, $25.8 million rookie contract, and Los Angeles wound up exercising his fifth-year option.
Bosa was set to play out the 2020 season under the fifth-year option when he agreed to a five-year, $135 million extension with the Chargers.
In 2023, Bosa has appeared in eight games for the Chargers, recording 20 tackles, one forced fumble, and six and a half sacks.
