2026 Outlook
Elite left tackle returning from patellar tendon rupture in his left knee suffered during 2025 training camp. Slater missed the entire 2025 season as a result. NFL executives surveyed by ESPN in 2026 ranked him as an honorable mention in the top-10 offensive tackle rankings. Multiple evaluators believe "he's absolutely a top-10 tackle" and expect him to return to the top-10 rankings in 2027 after his recovery trajectory in 2026 plays out. The Chargers' offensive line strength for 2026 depends heavily on both Slater and right tackle Joe Alt returning to full health. Their partnership represents one of the league's strongest tackle duos when both are on the field. (per NFL Execs Expect Chargers' Joe Alt to Bounce Back From Injury With Big 2026 Season)
