Los Angeles Chargers star left tackle Rashawn Slater was carted off the practice field Thursday after suffering an apparent left leg injury.<\/p>\n

Slater, who became the highest-paid offensive lineman<\/a> in NFL history when he signed a four-year extension a week ago, threw his helmet as the cart left the field. The cart came to a stop near the entrance to The Bolt, the Chargers\u2019 facility. Slater slammed his hand on the cart and buried his head in his hands. A trainer put a towel over his head before two trainers helped Slater inside. Slater could not put any weight on his left leg.<\/p>\n

On the play, Slater was aligned at left tackle in a modified 11-on-11 period. There were only three offensive linemen at the line of scrimmage. As quarterback Justin Herbert took the snap, Slater dropped into his pass protection set. Edge rusher Tuli Tuipulotu bull-rushed Slater. As Slater planted his left foot, he fell to the ground.<\/p>\n

Trainers worked on Slater for two minutes, and the cart came out almost immediately thereafter. As Slater was helped onto the cart, teammates gathered to console him.<\/p>\n
