Los Angeles Chargers left tackle Rashawn Slater suffered a season-ending injury on Thursday, 7 August 2025, just days after signing a record-setting contract extension. The 26-year-old collapsed during an 11-on-11 drill with what was later confirmed to be a torn patellar tendon in his left leg. The incident occurred at the Chargers' training facility and has since raised major questions about the timing of his new $114 million (£84.7 million) deal.
