A bone bruise is one level less serious than a fracture. This is not good news. He could be gone for a while.

Los Angeles Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa, who already has been ruled out of Sunday's season opener versus the Kansas City Chiefs, could miss two to four weeks while trying to recover from the bone bruise in his left foot that the team fears could be a fracture, according to league sources.
The Chargers still are trying to figure out the extent of the injury and how long Bosa will miss, but for now, former seventh-round pick Isaac Rochell -- who has gotten the reps throughout training camp -- will start for Bosa and help try to replace him.
If the bruise is a fracture, Bosa's absence could be longer than the team had thought, as it was expecting him to be ready for Sunday's home game. But now Bosa is in a walking boot, hobbling into the start of the season.Life is too short to drink cheap beer :beer:

I don't get why is it taking so long to see the foot specialist? I mean, it was reported over the weekend that he was officially out (Lynn knew it before that) and that he was headed to the specialist on Wednesday (today). What the hell? Was the specialist on a golf vacation or something??I'll ride the wave...where it takes me.

Treatment for Bone Bruise (Bone Contusion)
A bone bruise is an injury to a bone that is less severe than a bone fracture. Bone bruises are fairly common. They can happen to people of all ages. Any type of bone in your body can get a bone bruise. Other injuries often happen along with a bone bruise, such as damage to nearby ligaments. Types of treatment
Treatment for a bone bruise may include:- Resting the bone or joint
- Putting an ice pack on the area several times a day
- Raising the injury above the level of your heart to reduce swelling
- Taking medicine to reduce pain and swelling
- Wearing a brace or other device to limit movement, if needed
Most bone bruises heal without any problems. If your bone bruise is very large, your body may have trouble getting blood flow back to the area. This can cause avascular necrosis of the bone. This leads to death of that part of the bone.
