Rashawn SlaterOT
Slater's 2025 season was derailed by a patellar tendon tear suffered in practice less than two weeks after signing a $114 million contract in late July. He has since worked his way back and participated in spring practices, moving well and on track to participate in training camp and be ready for Week 1 as the Chargers' starting left tackle protecting Herbert's blindside. The Chargers lost both star tackles in 2025 (Slater before the season, Joe Alt for six games), resulting in Herbert being hit more than any quarterback in football.
