Rashawn Slater Returns to Practice on Monday

3 days ago

Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (foot) said he had a blister on his right foot ahead of training camp that had to be "carved out," which is what kept him from practicing early on. However, Slater was in uniform and did individual drills on Monday. He is expecting to do more on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is back on the field after signing a four-year, $114 million contract extension on Sunday that made him the highest-paid offensive lineman in the league. The former first-rounder and two-time Pro Bowler should be 100 percent healthy by the start of the regular season and will be protecting quarterback Justin Herbert's blind side yet again. Slater missed two games early in 2024 due to a pectoral injury but was otherwise excellent. His presence on the left side of the O-line is definitely a big bonus for Herbert.
