Ask most quarterbacks, and they'd rather lose their car keys than a left tackle.
Coming off an 11-6 season last year and a 34-7 win in their preseason opener at the Hall of Fame Game last week, the Chargers felt good about the 2025 season. That is, until Thursday morning when starting left tackle Rashawn Slater was carted off the field with an apparent torn ACL.
Adam Schefter reported the injury for ESPN. Slater recently signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension that makes him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the NFL, with $92 million of it guaranteed.
