Chargers Tackle Rashawn Slater Carted Off Field with Apparent Leg Injury

LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 7 – Rashawn Slater was injured during a blocking drill less than two weeks after signing a $114 million extension, raising concerns for the Chargers' offensive line stability.

  • Rashawn Slater, the Chargers' star offensive tackle and Pro Bowl selectee, was taken off the field on a cart during practice on Thursday, August 6, due to an injury to his left leg.
  • The injury happened shortly after Slater agreed to a four-year deal worth $114 million, featuring a record $92 million in guaranteed money.
  • Slater collapsed during an 11-on-11 drill, grabbed his left leg, was unable to put weight on it, and was helped by trainers while teammates showed visible concern.
  • Ian Rapoport described the injury as a “potentially serious issue,” and the Chargers plan to conduct further tests with head coach Jim Harbaugh expected to provide updates.
  • The injury’s severity remains unclear, but losing Slater, one of the league’s best offensive linemen, could significantly impact the Chargers’ lineup and performance.
