Chargers' Offensive Line Shuffles Amid Absences | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers’ star left tackle Rashawn Slater misses third straight practice, sparking questions—but no injury concerns—while veteran rest remains the official reason. With Slater and Trey Pipkins sidelined, second-year Branson Taylor steps in at left tackle to protect Justin Herbert. Rookie Jake Slaughter is emerging as a top candidate at left guard, potentially pushing Trevor Penning out of the picture. Seven total players are currently sitting out, including key defensive backs Tarheeb Still and Tony Jefferson. These roster tweaks are part of normal training camp evolution as the team fine-tunes its lineup ahead of the season.
