Ahead of a Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams, the Los Angeles Bolts plan to have Joey Bosa back on the field.

Since being designated to return, Bosa has practiced two times. He is going to get out there and play football. Excited to watch him.

James will be out as he works through the protocol.

With two games left in the regular season, the Bolts have secured a spot in the playoffs. The Rams have failed to make the playoffs.

Bosa practiced this week for the first time since tearing his groin in a Week 3 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and said that he felt the best he has in years.

Bosa is expected to play a limited number of snaps on Sunday.

He needs to get his football conditioning. He's not going to go out there and play like he's been playing for a while, but he's going to play. If he's going to play, we're going to play.

Mack was excited about Bosa returning. When Bosa was in the lineup, Mack picked up four of his eight sacks.

"It's great having him over there as a player, knowing the dynamic, the kind of player he is, but understanding the energy and the character that he brings in situations and those scenarios when it's a third down and we need a big stop." There are all those situational moments.

Bosa had seven tackles in three games.
