Slater (pectoral) is active Sunday against the Broncos. Slater missed the team's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, and after their Week 5 bye, logged a trio of limited practices that earned him a questionable tag for Week 6. The return of the Northwestern product should be a significant boost for the Chargers' offensive line.

Returning to action
Slater (pectoral) is active Sunday against the Broncos. Slater missed the team's Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, and after their Week 5 bye, logged a trio of limited practices that earned him a questionable tag for Week 6. The return of the Northwestern product should be a significant boost for the Chargers' offensive line.
Won't play vs. Chiefs
Slater (pectoral) did not practice Friday and has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against Kansas City. Slater injured his pectoral during the Chargers' Week 3 loss to the Steelers. He wasn't able to practice all week, but with the Bolts on a bye for Week 5, he'll have more time to rest and heal ahead of Week 6 against the Broncos on Oct. 13. Jamaree Salyer saw additional snaps in Week 3 after Slater left the game. Salyer and Foster Sarell are candidates to start at left tackle for Sunday's contest.
Leaves game early
Slater (pectoral) has exited Sunday's game against the Steelers. Slater's departure from the contest will be a blow to the Chargers' offensive line and Taylor Heinicke's blindside, as Justin Herbert (ankle) has also exited. Foster Sarell will man left tackle duties while Slater is sidelined.
Option exercised
The Chargers exercised Slater's 2025 fifth-year option, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. This was a no-brainer for new Chargers GM Joe Hortiz. After missing most of 2022 with a torn biceps, Slater returned to start all 17 games last season. As a 2021 rookie, Slater finished fourth in Offensive Rookie of the Year voting, made the Pro Bowl and was a second-team All-Pro selection. The Chargers hope Slater can return to his dominant rookie-year form.
