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 Slater began collapsing before Tuipulotu rushed him, and 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.

Tuipulotu said after practice that he didn't see what happened to Slater, but was praying and washing for the best.

"That's just something you don't want to see," Tuipulotu said. "Not only Rashawn, but any of our players."
