Chargers general manager Joe Hortiz thinks OTs Rashawn Slater (knee) and Joe Alt (ankle) will be “involved in some capacity” at the team’s first workout next week.

Both players are ahead of schedule, though Ortiz smartly notes, “coming back from injuries, you don’t rush anything.” The goal is for both players to be ready for the start of training camp. Slater ruptured a patellar tendon last August, ending his 2025 season before it began. Alt attempted to come back from a high-ankle sprain in-season last year before suffering a second high-ankle sprain in the same joint, ending his season.
