Chargers LT Rashawn Slater Believed To Have Suffered High-Ankle Sprain

Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater is believed to have suffered a high-ankle sprain during the team's Week 4 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Initial examinations pointed toward the sprain, with an MRI scheduled for Monday to officially confirm the full extent of the damage.

The injury is typically expected to sideline a player for several weeks. Slater's injury adds to existing offensive line issues for the Chargers, who also saw right tackle Joe Alt exit Week 4 and guard Kayode Awosika miss the previous two games.
