EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl left tackle Rashawn Slater left Thursday's practice on a medical cart with an apparent left leg injury.
Slater had begun blocking outside linebacker Tuli Tuipulotu during a team drill but began collapsing before Tuipulotu rushed him, and he immediately grabbed his left leg. Slater was down with an athletic trainer for a few minutes as safety Derwin James Jr. and Denzel Perryman prayed. Eventually Slater, unable to put weight on the leg, was helped to his feet by trainers and teammates.
Many Chargers players approached Slater on the cart as he exited practice. Salter was noticeably frustrated on the way into the facility, slamming his fist on the cart and throwing his helmet.
Slater signed a four-year $114 million contract ext
