Biadasz Injury Forces Slaughter Into Starting Role | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers’ starting center Tyler Biadasz suffered a devastating knee injury during Tuesday’s joint practice, carted off the field after a freak collision — and it’s not looking good. With Biadasz sidelined, backup Jake Slaughter is now thrust into the starting lineup, stepping up from second-team reps in a high-stakes role. Slaughter, a solid college center, faces an uphill battle adjusting to the NFL’s speed and physicality while building chemistry with Justin Herbert and the offensive line before Week 1. The Chargers’ coaching staff will likely tweak their game plan to support him, but the real test comes against elite defensive fronts. Fans brace for both hope for Biadasz’s recovery and the reality of Slaughter’s unexpected, critical role. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
