Los Angeles Chargers Pro Bowl offensive tackle Rashawn Slater ruptured his left biceps tendon and is done for the rest of the season, ESPN and NFL Network reported Monday.
Star pass-rusher Joey Bosa is also having tests Monday on his injured groin, per reports. The team will also reportedly be without backup wide receiver Jalen Guyton (ACL) for the rest of the season.
Bosa exited Sunday’s loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in the first half and Slater left the game in the third quarter.
Bosa was trying to circle around left end in the first quarter when he hit the ground and grabbed at his upper right leg. He left the field under his own power but threw his helmet to the ground before heading to the locker room.
Slater, 23, has started 19 games for the Chargers since being selected 13th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Bosa, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has 1.5 sacks on the season and four quarterback hits. In seven seasons, all with the Chargers, he has 298 tackles with 59 1/2 sacks in 82 games (77 starts).
Guyton, 25, tore his ACL during Sunday’s game and is done for the season, NFL Network and ESPN reported. Guyton caught two passes for 64 yards against the Jags, including a 54-yard bomb. They were his first two catches of the season as he played a season-high 26 percent of the team’s offensive snaps before the injury.
Guyton has 61 career catches and six TDs in 38 games (11 starts), all with the Chargers.
The Chargers were without top wideout Keenan Allen and cornerback J.C. Jackson against the Jaguars. Quarterback Justin Herbert, banged up with a rib injury coming into the contest, played but was bothered throughout the game.
