Chargers LT Rashawn Slater Back at Practice: Survivor Read

Aug 23, 2026

Slater is back on the practice field

The Chargers got welcome news Saturday: left tackle Rashawn Slater returned to practice. Getting a cornerstone of the offensive line back on the field is exactly the kind of trend survivor players want to track heading into the season.

What it means for your survivor pick

A healthy offensive line is one of the quieter foundations of a reliable survivor pick — it protects the quarterback and keeps an offense on schedule, which is what turns close games into comfortable wins. Slater's return is a positive signal for the Chargers, but it's still just a practice report, not a game result. Wait to see him take live snaps and hold up before you lean on Los Angeles as a safe survivor pick. If you're still setting up your season, you can start a free survivor pool and file this one under "good news, monitor before committing."
