Cam Newton has officially been listed as questionable for Sunday’s game in Los Angeles.
The Patriots quarterback was limited all week with an abdomen injury, but according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe, he should be ready to play against the Chargers. That would seem to corroborate Newton downplaying the injury’s severity on Thursday.
“I’m feeling as good as I should be feeling, and just have to stay on top of things and see what the trainers say,” Newton said. “Just keep getting treatment.”
The Patriots listed 11 other players as questionable, too, notably JC Jackson (hip) and Jakob Johnson (knee). Jackson sustained an injury in last week’s win over the Cardinals and was forced to leave the game. Johnson was a mid-week addition to the injury report, so it’s unclear how severe his injury is.
On the Los Angeles side, Joey Bosa was removed from the report after a hip injury kept him off the practice field Wednesday and limited him Thursday. The excellent edge rusher is good to go, so Michael Onwenu will have his hands full.
“Bosa’s one of the most disruptive players in the league,” Bill Belichick said earlier this week. “As good as anybody we play against. Run or pass, he’s got a great motor. Very strong hands. Good instincts. He just makes a lot of disruptive plays. Most of the time it’s him making the play, but a lot of the time it’s him screwing the play up and forcing the ball to somebody else. So he’s definitely a guy to stop.”
