Los Angeles, CA, October 9, 2026 — The Los Angeles Chargers announced that they have placed offensive lineman Rashawn Slater on injured reserve. This move comes after Slater underwent surgery on his right ankle.
The exact timeline for Slater’s return to the field remains undetermined as he recovers from the procedure.
