The Chargers will likely be without their starting offensive tackles when they face the Chiefs in Week 4.
Joe Alt suffered an MCL sprain in the Week 3 loss to the Steelers. As a result, he is expected to miss some time.
Alt exited the game in the fourth quarter and limped off the field before being tended to by trainers.
The team will reassess Alt during their bye week.
Additionally, Rashawn Slater sustained a pectoral strain in the third quarter, keeping him sidelined for the remainder of this past Sunday’s game.
It’s only been weeks into the regular season, but Alt and Slater have already proven to be one of the top tackle tandems in the league.
It remains to be seen who will be playing quarterback, as Justin Herbert’s status is up after aggravating his high ankle sprain in Week 3. But no matter who is under center, the absences of Slater and Alt would be crucial.
