Rashawn Slater Not Practicing on Monday
Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater is not practicing on Monday for the Chargers but is doing work on the side, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic. Popper writes that 2024 right tackle Joe Alt took Slater's place on the left side with the first-team offense, while Trey Pipkins filled in for Alt at right tackle. The 26-year-old Slater is entering the final year of his rookie contract with the Chargers and is in active contract extension negotiations with the team. The expectation had been that Slater would practice while the talks were ongoing, but it appears as though he may now be staging a "hold-in." It's noteworthy that Los Angeles is utilizing Alt on the left side in practice, as this could signal that the team does not expect a quick resolution with Slater. Any absence from the two-time Pro-Bowler would impact the outlook for all of the Chargers' skill-position players.
