Chargers placing Rashawn Slater on IR after ankle procedure
The Los Angeles Chargers announced Friday that offensive tackle Rashawn Slater has been placed on injured reserve following a successful ankle procedure. The surgery, described as a tightrope procedure, aims to speed up recovery from a high-ankle sprain that has sidelined Slater.
The first-round pick from the 2021 draft (13th overall) has faced repeated injury setbacks, missing the entire 2023 season due to a torn patellar tendon suffered in training camp. This latest injury compounds previous issues, including a torn biceps that limited his play in 2022, marking the third season significantly impacted by health concerns for the young tackle.
