# Tyler Biadasz

NFL center. Position: **C**. Team: **LAC** (Los Angeles Chargers).

## Quick Facts

- **Position:** Center
- **Team:** LAC (Los Angeles Chargers)
- **Age:** 28 years old
- **Background:** Former Pro Bowler, long-time solid starter who was released by the Commanders in February 2026

## 2026 Outlook

Signed to a three-year, $30 million deal with the Chargers to address a major offensive line hole. Suffered a left leg injury in joint practice with the 49ers in August when defensive lineman Sebastian Valdez fell on his knee. Had to be carted off. This is a significant blow to a Chargers team under Mike McDaniel's offense, which relies on excellent center-QB synergy. (per Tyler Biadasz injury: Chargers center carted off)

**Aug 19 ACL + additional knee damage confirmed:** ESPN confirmed Biadasz tore his ACL and sustained additional injuries to his left knee during the 49ers joint practice. He underwent an MRI and will meet with additional doctors for clarity on recovery timeline. Expected to be out indefinitely—a devastating blow to the Chargers' interior line and a major setback for the organization's plans to stabilize the offensive line under new GM Joe Hortiz (per Sources: Chargers' Tyler Biadasz out indefinitely with ACL injury). The Chargers' contingency plan relies on second-round pick Jake Slaughter stepping in at center, along with sixth-round picks Logan Taylor and Alex Harkey on the line. (per NFL Network: Chargers C Tyler Biadasz out indefinitely after injuring ACL during practice).

**Aug 21 status — no change:** As of the latest preseason reports, Biadasz remains out indefinitely with no new updates on recovery timeline. This sidelines a critical Chargers starter at a pivotal moment when the team is transitioning to Mike McDaniel's system (per NFL news, live updates: Raiders beat Texans in Fernando Mendoza's first preseason start; Vita Vea, Bucs agree to 1-year extension).

## Role / Depth Chart
