San Diego Chargers rookie defensive end Joey Bosa was forced to exit Sunday’s 28-16 loss to the Carolina Panthers after suffering a scary-looking injury to his head/neck area. But that didn’t stop him from trying to make light of the situation.
The 21-year-old Bosa, who was feared to have suffered a concussion in a second quarter sack of Panthers quarterback Cam Newton but escaped with just a neck strain, joked about the play in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Here’s video of the play where Bosa was injured:

The Ohio State product might ruffle the feathers of those who see his post as attempting to trivialize the issue of traumatic brain injuries, which is easily the biggest and most problematic one facing the NFL today. But you still can’t help but appreciate Bosa’s offbeat sense of humor, especially given his reputation for doing things on his own terms.
