On Thursday, Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater was carted off the practice field after suffering a torn patellar tendon in his left knee while falling backward. The 26-year-old, two-time Pro Bowler recently signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension with the Chargers.

On their unofficial preseason depth chart posted this week, L.A. listed Trey Pipkins III as the top backup at both left and right tackle. The 6' 6", 307-pounder has spent the entirety of his six-year NFL career with the Chargers and started 56 games with the club. The majority, however, were at right tackle.
