Slater's Return: Injury Risk & High Stakes | Los Angeles Chargers News
About this episode
The episode discusses the injury risks and performance expectations for Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt as they return to the Los Angeles Chargers.
The Chargers are counting on Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt to return at full strength in 2026, but their injury histories cast a shadow—Slater’s torn patellar tendon sidelined him all last season, while Alt missed chunks with an ankle injury. ESPN’s Bill Barnwell ranks Alt as potentially worth two first-round picks, but Slater’s injury baggage makes teams wary, even if he’s not for sale. Despite coaching optimism and a new offensive scheme, Slater’s past setbacks—missing two of his five seasons due to major injuries—mean his health and performance remain a critical, uncertain variable as his big contract kicks in.
