they\u2019ll be involved<\/a> in some capacity,\u201d Hortiz said. \u201cComing back from injuries, you don\u2019t rush anything, there\u2019s no need to rush it. Let them come back, be healthy, the target is for the start of training camp. But I think they\u2019ll be out there getting some work.\u201d<\/p>\nAlt earned Pro Bowl honors despite playing in only six games due to an ankle injury that ended his second season.<\/p>\n
Slater ruptured a patellar tendon in training camp.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy expectations, where [Slater] is, where he\u2019s been, where he was in the fall, it\u2019s a different recovery time. No rush, but everything indicator is he\u2019s ahead of schedule and doing really well,\u201d Hortiz said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to rush it. We\u2019re going to take our time. There\u2019s a timeline to recover from that. Go through the steps, but he looks great.<\/p>\n
\u201cI look out the window, and he\u2019s out there working, moving around. I feel good about it.\u201d <\/p>\n
A rash of injuries in the offensive line in 2025 could lead the Chargers to add another offensive tackle in the draft.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow, if last year proved anything it\u2019s that you can never have too many tackles, just like the year before proved you can\u2019t have too many corners. You can never have too many of anything,\u201d Hortiz said. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t change our approach. If there\u2019s a tackle in the draft that we like and he\u2019s sitting there when we\u2019re picking, and he\u2019s the top guy, we\u2019ll take him.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Chargers offensive tackles Rashawn Slater and Joe Alt are working their way back from injuries that prematurely ended…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":590688,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-590687","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590687","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=590687"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/590687\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/590688"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=590687"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=590687"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=590687"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
