Rashawn Slater returns to Chargers practice after knee issues
Summary

Rashawn Slater participated in practice with the Chargers on Saturday for the first time in weeks. The left tackle had missed all of last season due to a torn patellar tendon and more recent complications with the same knee. Slater was a limited participant, but his return is viewed positively as the team prepares for Week 1. The Chargers will start the season without center Tyler Biadasz, who is sidelined with a knee injury, increasing the importance of Slater's involvement in the offensive line.
