Bosa’s game status remains up in air

doing. Bosa first injured his left foot during training camp, which caused him to miss the preseason. He reinjured it during practice on Sept. 5. The Chargers said he has a bone bruise.

Bosa has said the rehab process that he should have taken things slower and not tried to rush back for the opener. He also hoped to be back by early November, following the team’s open week, before ramping down expectatio­ns.

“I kept putting timetables on it and it really never played out,” Bosa said. “Once wekind of got the message across that it’s going to be ready when it’s ready, we kind of all got on the same page, coaches and everything. Ever since then it’s kind of been a week-to-week kind of thing. And it’s been easier on me not having a set deadline.”

Defensive coordinato­r Gus Bradley said Bosa has looked good in the limited snaps, but that he is waiting to see what comes next.

“I think for him it’s just exciting to see him back on the field and with his teammates and going through that next step of his rehab,” Bradley said.

Rookie Lamar Jackson missed practice because of an illness, adding greater uncertaint­y to the Ravens’ quarterbac­k situation ahead of Sunday’s crucial game against the Bengals.

Starting quarterbac­k Joe Flacco (right hip) missed practice for the second straight day, as expected.

That left Robert Griffin III, who hasn’t played since the preseason, to take every repetition with the Ravens’ first-team offense.

Former Falcons defensive lineman Tim Green revealed he has Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

Green wrote in a Facebook post Wednesday night that for the last five years he’s been coping with “neurologic­al problems” in his hands. He said doctors first thought the damage his elbows had received during his playing days in the 1980s and 1990s was the culprit.

The problems didn’t go away after surgery and his voice also began to get weak before he was diagnosed with ALS.

The 54-year-old Green, an All-American at Syracuse who played eight seasons with the Falcons, writes that the version of the disease, known as amyotrophi­c lateral sclerosis, that he has is slow-progressin­g and that he’s “extremely grateful” for that.
