Los Angeles Chargers pass-rusher Joey Bosa and safety Derwin James are expected to return for Monday's matchup with the Dallas Cowboys, sources told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.

Bosa and James missed Week 4 with toe and hamstring injuries, respectively. The Chargers were on their bye in Week 5, giving their star defenders time to get healthy.

Los Angeles is entering the prime-time matchup with few health concerns after an injury-ravaged start to the season.

Running back Austin Ekeler is set to return against Dallas following a three-game absence with an ankle injury. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer is also expected to suit up despite a groin injury, adds Pelissero.

Bosa, a four-time Pro Bowler, has three sacks and four tackles for loss in three appearances this season. Meanwhile, James is third on the team in total tackles with 24 despite missing Week 4.
