Goes to injured reserve
Nwosu (knee) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Won't play against Bills
Nwosu (shoulder) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Nwosu was considered an IR candidate after being handed a three-week recovery after injuring his AC joint in Week 11. However, he has avoided IR for now and may have a chance to beat the initial timeline as a result. His absence hurts the Chargers' defensive line, though, as Melvin Ingram (knee) was placed on IR on Friday. Isaac Rochell is expected to start opposite Joey Bosa until Nwosu returns.

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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Ready to rock
Nwosu (undisclosed) was absent from Wednesday's injury report.
Analysis: 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 injury and did not return.
Analysis: 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.

Disappointing second season
Nwosu piled together 31 tackles (23 solo), two sacks and a forced fumble throughout the 2019 season.
Analysis: The time is ticking on Nwosu becoming a valuable member of a burgeoning Chargers defense. The 2018 second-round pick saw his snap total increase by a marginal amount this year, but a paltry two sacks despite the increase in playing time is a bit of a worry. There isn't a lot that stands in the way of Nwosu once again securing a starting outside linebacker role in 2020, but he'll need to be significantly more productive in order to garner a long-term contract.

Ready to face Vikings
Nwosu (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Nwosu will avoid missing the first game of his career after being limited in practice all week. The 22-year-old has recorded 30 tackles and two sacks this season in a situational role.

Deemed questionable
Nwosu (anke) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Analysis: Nwosu was able to put in limited practices each day this week. Kazir White and Jatavis Brown could see extra snaps if the 22-year-old sits out.

Tallies sack in loss
Nwosu notched two tackles (one solo) and one sack during Thursday's 26-24 loss to the Raiders.
Analysis: Nwosu made his second sack of the season during Thursday's divisional loss. He played his usual rotational role (24 percent of snaps on defense) in the Chargers' linebacker corps, taking a back seat to Drue Tranquill, Thomas Davis and Kyzir White. The 22-year-old has a tough matchup against the Chiefs coming up Week 11.
