Chargers rule out three players for Week 4 vs. Chiefs, including Rashawn Slater

The Chargers will be without key players on both sides of the ball when they host the Chiefs this Sunday.

The Chargers held one last practice on Friday in preparation for their Week 4 game against the Chiefs.

Afterward, three players were ruled out ahead of the matchup.

Los Angeles has ruled out offensive tackle Rashawn Slater (pectoral), edge defender Joey Bosa (hip) and linebacker Junior Colson (hamstring) for Sunday’s game.

Additionally, quarterback Justin Herbert (ankle), tackle Joe Alt (knee), wide receiver Derius Davis (hamstring), and cornerbacks Kristian Fulton (knee), Deane Leonard (hamstring) and Ja’Sir Taylor (fibula) are questionable.

With Slater sidelined, the Chargers could start Jamaree Salyer or Foster Sarell at left tackle. If Alt can’t go, Trey Pipkins could move from right guard to right tackle.

Regarding Herbert, who was a limited participant in practice all week, Harbaugh said he felt better today than he did last Friday.

Herbert was able to do 7-on-7 and participate in team drills. Harbaugh added that he was able to do more in practice this week than last week.

“Listed as questionable, we’ll see,” he said.
