Chargers center Tyler Biadasz carted off during practice with injury
Summary

Tyler Biadasz, center for the Chargers, suffered a leg injury during a joint practice with the 49ers on August 18, 2026. The injury occurred when 49ers defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez fell on Biadasz's left knee during an 11v11 drill. Medical staff attended to him on the field, and he was unable to put weight on his leg, leading to his being carted off. Biadasz, signed to a three-year, $30 million contract this offseason, was considered a key addition to the Chargers' offensive line. The severity of the injury is currently unclear, and if he is sidelined for an extended period, rookie Jake Slaughter may step in as the starting center.
