Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater was carted off the practice field on Thursday with what appeared to be an injury to his left leg, The Athletic reported.
Slater was embraced by several teammates after he left the field.
A two-time Pro Bowl selection, Slater signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension on July 27 that included $92 million guaranteed to become the highest-paid offensive lineman in history at $28.5 million per season.
Slater, 26, was a first-round pick (13th overall) by the Chargers in the 2021 NFL Draft and is entering the final year of his rookie deal. He will earn a base salary of $2 million, a signing bonus of $29 million and a roster bonus of $7 million this season.
Slater has started all 51 of the games in which he has played for the Chargers, including 15 last season.
He was limited to just three games in 2022 due to a ruptured biceps tendon. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021 and 2024 and was named Second Team All-Pro in 2021.
