Chargers Acquire Tackle Austin Deculus From Texans in a Trade

The Chargers traded a 2027 conditional seventh-round pick to the Texans to add offensive tackle Austin Deculus, addressing depth after losing starter Rashawn Slater to injury.

  • On Tuesday, the Los Angeles Chargers acquired offensive tackle Austin Deculus from the Houston Texans, trading a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick.
  • After losing left tackle Rashawn Slater weeks ago, and with Trey Pipkins stepping into the starting right tackle role, the Los Angeles Chargers addressed urgent tackle depth needs by trading for Austin Deculus on Tuesday.
  • Deculus brings positional experience as most of his NFL snaps have come at left tackle and he logged several reps there in Houston Texans training camp; a 2022 draftee, he has appeared in 15 career games including postseason action.
  • The trade provides the Chargers a second backup tackle option alongside Jamaree Salyer as Los Angeles also released players while finalizing roster cuts before waivers open on Wednesday, August 27, affecting players with fewer than four accrued seasons.
  • The move fits into a larger O-line shuffle as Houston Texans continue reshaping their roster and the Los Angeles Chargers traded a conditional 2027 seventh-round pick for Austin Deculus.
