Rashawn Slater's return timeline set as Tyler Biadasz suffers injury

Rashawn Slater is expected back with the Los Angeles Chargers this weekend after missing several practices due to a knee issue. Head coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed Slater will not participate in Thursday's preseason game against the San Francisco 49ers. Meanwhile, center Tyler Biadasz was carted off during practice after sustaining a leg injury, raising concerns about the offensive line's depth. Slater's return becomes crucial as the Chargers work to strengthen the offensive line following a difficult previous season. The team hopes to avoid repeating last year's struggles with quarterback Justin Herbert taking too many hits.
