Rashawn Slater (knee) practicing again on Sunday

Chargers Rashawn Slater

Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Player Stats

Chargers LT Rashawn Slater (knee) was seen practicing on Sunday.

Slater resumed practicing in a limited capacity yesterday after taking two weeks off due to a “little flare-up” in his surgically repaired knee. Slater, 27, suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture in August last year. It is unclear what type of progress, if any, he was able to make during his two-week absence, but we should find out soon enough. Coach Jim Harbaugh said he hopes to play his starters through two full drives in Thursday’s preseason game against the Rams. Hopefully, Slater accomplishes that feat without issue.

Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers T Rashawn Slater said he had a “little flare up” with his knee last week.

Slater has not practiced since Thursday, but said it is “nothing to be concerned about.” OK, if you say so. After watching how the Christian Darrisaw situation unfolded last year in Minnesota, we think you’re well within your rights to be a little concerned about this even if we’re not in the realm of outright panic just yet.

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers LT Rashawn Slater (undisclosed) resumed practicing on Wednesday.

Slater suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture in his left knee last year. He took a trip to the medical tent on Tuesday, and The Athletic’s Daniel Popper later reported that trainers were working on his left leg. He resumed practicing on Wednesday, though, and was seen participating in team drills on Thursday. He appears to be good to go.

LAC Tackle #70

Rashawn Slater (undisclosed) left practice on Monday and visited the medical tent.

Justin Herbert said Slater “wanted to get back on the field and was in good spirits afterward.” This probably isn’t anything to be super-concerned about, but it’s possible Slater could miss a little camp time.
Joe Alt

LAC Tackle #76

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Joe Alt (ankle) and Rashawn Slater (knee) have been medically cleared for the start of training camp.

Harbaugh didn’t say exactly how much either player would participate in the opening practices of camp and even noted that the whole team is starting off in a “ramp-up” stage. Alt suffered two high-ankle sprains last year, the second one requiring season-ending surgery. Slater did not play at all in 2025 because of a ruptured patellar tendon. Though it would make sense for both players to be limited during the first few practices of training camp, it doesn’t sound like any player will have any lingering issues heading into 2026.
Joe Alt

LAC Tackle #76

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said it, “It looks that way,” when asked if Joe Alt (ankle) and Rashawn Slater (knee) will be ready for training camp.

Chargers GM Joe Hortiz said both players were ahead of schedule when asked about them a week before the NFL Draft. Slater suffered a season-ending ruptured a patellar tendon last August and did not play a snap in 2025. Alt was unable to recover from a high-ankle sprain during the season and finished the year on injured reserve. All signs point to the Chargers having their elite tackle duo healthy for the start of the year. With an improved offensive line and Mike McDaniel on the headset, this is truly a make-or-break year for Justin Herbert.
Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz thinks OTs Rashawn Slater (knee) and Joe Alt (ankle) will be “involved in some capacity” at the team’s first workout next week.

Both players are ahead of schedule, though Hortiz smartly notes, “coming back from injuries, you don’t rush anything.” The goal is for both players to be ready for the start of training camp. Slater ruptured a patellar tendon last August, ending his 2025 season before it began. Alt attempted to come back from a high-ankle sprain in-season last year before suffering a second high-ankle sprain in the same joint, ending his season.
Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz said the team is “not done on the offensive line.”

The Chargers began last year’s training camp possessing one of the league’s best offensive tackle duos in LT Rashawn Slater and RT Joe Alt. Things changed quickly. Slater suffered a season-ending patellar tendon rupture on August 7th, and Alt underwent season-ending surgery on his right ankle in early November, following a pair of high-ankle sprains. Deepening the offensive line rotation is a smart move for a playoff contender like the Chargers.
Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Rashawn Slater (patellar) is “ahead of schedule.”

Slater is apparently already running full speed. The 27-year-old stalwart left tackle’s absence was a big reason the Chargers struggled badly in pass protection in 2025. This update doesn’t give clarity on his OTA status, but more than a year removed from tearing his patellar tendon, Slater is likely to be ready for training camp.
Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers OT Rashawn Slater will miss the 2025 NFL season after suffering a torn patellar tendon.

This is terrible news. Slater is one of the league’s best left tackles. He and OT Joe Alt formed, perhaps, the NFL’s premier tackle tandems. Slater now has a long road to recovery ahead, and will hopefully be fully healthy in time for the 2026 season. With Slater out, Alt will shift from right tackle to left while swing tackle Trey Pipkins III starts on the right. Slater will undergo surgery to repair the tendon and be placed on injured reserve.
Rashawn Slater

LAC Tackle #70

Chargers OT Rashawn Slater was carted away from practice after suffering an apparent left leg injury on Thursday.

Slater dealt with a topical right foot issue in July, but this injury is unrelated. If Slater misses an extended period of time, it will likely have a ripple effect across the whole offense. Slater and RT Joe Alt form one of the NFL’s best offensive tackle duos. Fortunately, Alt had been taking snaps on the left side while Slater was previously sidelined. OT Trey Pipkins III can serve as a capable fill-in on the right side. Slater signed a four-year, $114 million extension less than two weeks ago.

Chiefs acquired G Joshua Ezeudu from the Giants in exchange for a 2028 seventh-round pick.

The Chiefs add interior offensive line depth in Ezeudu, who was on the roster bubble for the Giants offensive line. The 26-year-old was a third-round pick of the Giants in 2022 and appeared in 33 games over the course of his New York tenure. He becomes guard depth for the Chiefs as roster cut-down day nears.

ESPN’s Mike Reiss says Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez “expressed disappointment” in his contract extension negotiations.

Gonzalez and the Pats have continued negotiations on a top-of-the-market extension for the 24-year-old cornerback, but are not yet close to an agreement. Fellow corner Devon Witherspoon signed his deal earlier in August but Gonzalez has still yet to sign a similar or slightly larger deal. He said, “it’s frustrating, but I’m focused on the season.” A deal can still come before the Patriots play in Week 1 but it’s clear Gonzalez is disappointed in negotiations despite not holding out.

Eagles TE Eli Stowers (hamstring) missed his second straight practice Tuesday.

Stowers missed his second straight practice Tuesday as he deals with a hamstring issue. There is no indication this is a major injury yet, but something to keep an eye on as the Eagles prepare for preseason Week 3. The rookie second-round pick has struggled in camp and comes into the NFL as a raw tight end prospect. Don’t expect the Eagles’ tight end rotation to change drastically should Stowers miss time in the 2026 regular season.

Rams EDGE Myles Garrett (knee) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice.

Checking in on the star pass-rusher heading into the third preseason week, Garrett (knee) still has not practiced since early August. He is experiencing swelling in his knee and head coach Sean McVay continues to downplay his absence. It’s possible this is just veteran load management; we still expect Garrett to be ready for Week 1, though his absence is becoming more and more notable as the season inches closer.

MIN Quarterback #9

J.J. McCarthy and Carson Wentz split the second-team reps at Vikings training camp on Tuesday.

The Vikings spent a lot of energy having a pretend quarterback competition between McCarthy and Kyler Murray this offseason, but at least it kept them fresh for this second pretend competition where McCarthy will push Wentz for second-team duties. McCarthy is an obvious trade candidate and it would be surprising if he was higher than the third-team quarterback to open the season in Minnesota. One of these quarterbacks is more reliable than the other and somehow that quarterback is Carson Wentz.

Commanders signed LT D.J. Humphries to a one-year contract.

Humphries appeared in eight games with the Rams last year, mostly as a reserve. His last real chance to start came when the Chiefs turned to him in 2024 and he was disastrous there, though admittedly he was playing through a hamstring injury. He’s a veteran depth add here as the Commanders try to muddle through life without Laremy Tunsil.

Tough break for the 28-year-old back. He didn’t figure to be a major part of the Saints backfield conversation, but he had a shot at a roster spot if healthy. He’ll likely need to prove he’s healthy before signing on for another shot elsewhere in 2027.

The 30-year-old veteran who missed all of last season due to a hip injury was released from the Giants’ competition in June and caught on with the Jets afterwards. “Jets kicker” is not traditionally a very valuable fantasy role, and this year, that will probably remain the case.
