When the Buffalo Bills made the splash move to sign Joey Bosa in the offseason, there was a lot of concern about his durability. While he was a ferocious edge rusher for the Chargers for nearly a decade, part of his story had to include the phrase “when he’s healthy” because he had missed so much time with injuries at a certain period.

Bosa missed his first game as a member of the Bills last Sunday against the Bengals. He had a hamstring injury that he sustained in Week 13 against the Steelers, which forced him to miss last week. However, it seems like the injury was very brief as he is now prepared to suit up on Sunday.

Joey Bosa set to return vs. Patriots this Sunday

The Buffalo Bills published their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s matchup in Foxborough, and the Bills have three players listed as questionable but Bosa is not one of them. After being listed as limited on Wednesday and Thurday, Bosa was a full participant on Friday and is ready to go in a huge game for Buffalo.

Christian Benford, Terrel Bernard, and Joshua Palmer have all been listed as questionable.

Bosa has five sacks on the season, while also adding five forced fumbles which is tied for a franchise record. He is Buffalo’s most consistent pass rusher, making the best of his prove-it deal that Buffalo gave him back in March.

With the Patriots being a red hot team, the Bills need all of their defensive help to step up and make life miserable for Drake Maye. New England has the chance to clinch the AFC East for the first time since 2019 if they beat the Bills. Buffalo fans need to hope that the defense can make life easier for the team and not force the offense to play against their gameplan.

The final inactives will be reported at 11:30am on Sunday so fans should be on the lookout to see who will be suiting up, and who will be on the sidelines.
