The Los Angeles Chargers will have to play the entire season without star left tackle Rashawn Slater, but the team has options when it comes to mitigating his absence. Jim Harbaugh laid out the team's plan to replace Slater during media availability Friday.

The Los Angeles Chargers received some of the worst news imaginable this week when they lost star offensive tackle Rashawn Slater to a season-ending injury. The recently-extended lineman went down in practice and had to be carted off the field.

The Los Angeles Chargers are moving on without Rashawn Slater after the offensive lineman's torn patellar tendon sidelined him for the season. “It's like a gut punch,” coach Jim Harbaugh said Friday.
