There’s a chance the Chargers could be without a key piece on the offensive line when they face the Chiefs on Thursday night.
According to The Athletic’s Daniel Popper, Rashawn Slater is being placed on the COVID-19 list.
Slater is vaccinated, which means there’s still a chance he plays this week.
Slater would need to produce two negative COVID tests separated by 24 hours to be eligible to come off the reserve list.
Had he not been vaccinated, Slater would have been isolated from the team for ten days, thus eliminating any chances of playing.
Trey Pipkins will likely slide in and start at left tackle if Slater can’t play. However, there’s also the possibility of moving Matt Feiler over to left tackle and starting Senio Kelemete or Brenden Jaimes at left guard.
