Goes to injured reserve Nwosu (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Impact The 23-year-old Nwosu suited up 13 times for the Chargers in 2020, establishing new career highs in tackles (33), QB hits (11), sacks (4.5) and pass deflections (two) during his third pro campaign out of USC. He had already been confirmed out for Week 16. Now, Nwosu's season comes to an end given his IR designation, combined with the fact that Los Angeles has been eliminated from playoff contention.

Sidelined for Week 16 Nwosu (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Broncos.
Impact Nwosu was absent from the practice field all week, and he'll miss his second game of the season as a result. Through 13 games, Nwosu has recorded career highs in tackles (33) and sacks (4.5). Isaac Rochell is expected to start at defensive end in Nwosu's place Sunday.

Returning Week 13 Nwosu (shoulder) is active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Impact The 23-year-old was expected to be sidelined three weeks after suffering the AC join sprain Nov. 22, but he'll be back on the field after missing only one game. Nwosu has only three tackles while playing a minor defensive role in his previous three games.

Should miss three weeks Nwosu sprained the AC joint in his shoulder during Sunday's win over the Jets and is expected to miss about three weeks, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Impact If that timeline is confirmed, the Chargers likely will place Nwosu on injured reserve to clear up a roster spot. The third-year defensive end is dependable depth behind starters Joey Bosa and Melvin Ingram. Isaac Rochell may absorb that role until Nwosu can return.

Done for the day Nwosu (shoulder) will not return to Sunday's contest against the Jets.
Impact With Nwosu having been downgraded to out, Isaac Rochell will handle the majority of rotational snaps behind Melvin Ingram and Joey Bosa.

Injures shoulder Nwosu (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jets.
Impact Nwosu has only handled a rotational role on defense since Jacksonville's Week 6 bye. If he's unable to return Sunday, Isaac Rochell stands to see an uptick in snaps.
NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Ready to rock Nwosu (undisclosed) was absent from Wednesday's injury report.
Impact Nwosu suffered an undisclosed injury during Week 5's loss to the Saints, but it appears the USC product took advantage of the extra week of rest. Nwosu has racked up 15 tackles (nine solo), two sacks and two pass break ups through five games this season, so he'll likely assume his usual starting role at defensive end for Sunday's game against Jacksonville.

Leaves late with injury Nwosu picked up four tackles (three solo), one sack and two quarterback hits in the 30-27 overtime loss to the Saints. He left early in the fourth quarter with an undisclosed injur...
Impact It's unclear how serious the injury was considering the Saints had just two more offensive possessions the rest of the game, neither of which Nwosu was available to play. The third-year linebacker had been filling in as an edge rusher with Joey Bosa limited throughout Monday and Melvin Ingram (knee) currently on IR. The Chargers have a bye entering Week 6, which might allow for a host of injured players, including Nwosu, to make a return for Week 7.
