Chargers OL Crisis Deepens | Los Angeles Chargers News

Chargers’ offensive line faces a major shakeup as Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater, sidelined by a knee issue, is expected to start practicing this week—missing Thursday’s preseason game but inching toward return. The news arrives just hours after starting center Tyler Biadasz was carted off during joint practice with the 49ers after a defender fell on his leg; the severity of his injury is unknown but could force rookie Jake Slaughter into action at center. With Slater’s return crucial to protecting Justin Herbert—a quarterback who suffered through 54 sacks last season due to constant OL instability—the Chargers’ depth is being tested as they rebuild their front five. Slater’s elite pass-blocking track record offers hope that the unit’s fortunes may finally turn. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
