The Story in 60 Seconds

Los Angeles Chargers offensive tackle Rashawn Slater is believed to have suffered a high ankle sprain following Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to Ian Rapoport. The setback marks another major blow for an offensive line that finished the game with no healthy dressed linemen remaining on the sideline.

Slater, who had allowed only eight pressures across 152 pass-blocking snaps this season, is set to undergo an MRI. The Chargers also lost tackle Joe Alt to a neck injury during the contest, leaving rookie Travis Burke in line to start if Slater is sidelined for multiple weeks.
