The Chargers will be without a key piece of their offense for their upcoming Thursday night game against the Chiefs. Left tackle Rashawn Slater has been placed on the Reserve/Covid-19 list, per the Athletic’s Daniel Popper. 
The 13th overall pick in the 2021 Draft, Slater has helped stabilize the Chargers’ offensive line – something that was sorely needed, given its performance last year. He has appeared in every game so far this season and has graded out well according to PFF, earning a 79.9 overall grade.
Coming off their 37-21 win over the Giants on Sunday, the Chargers will hope to have Keenan Allen back in time on a short week. At 8-5, they only sit one game behind the division-leading Chiefs, and need a win to further cement their hold on at least a Wild Card position.
Sports will be controlled by covid the next couple of years. It’s a shame in many levels.
Is the kid Rookie of the Year?Chargers don’t seem to have problems drafting high leverage positions.Bosa,Herbert,Williams.Slater& Tillery the Chargers are getting it done!
Too bad they haven’t had the same luck with kickers.
True AD.
I don’t know if he is, but I’m glad we have him. He’s been really good. Pretty hard for an offensive lineman to win that award.
