Summary
Three Chargers left Tuesday’s joint practice with San Francisco injured, headlined by Pro Bowl center Tyler Biadasz, whose left knee injury is expected to sideline him for significant time and possibly most of the season.
Biadasz had been signed in free agency to stabilize a problem spot in the middle of the offensive line, and his loss now pushes rookie Jake Slaughter toward an immediate starting role.
Quentin Johnston also exited with a lower-body injury after landing awkwardly on a contested catch, leaving his Week 1 availability uncertain and threatening the field-stretching role that helps free up Ladd McConkey underneath.
Kyle Kennard limped off later in practice with an undisclosed injury, adding a third setback on a day that deepened concerns about the Chargers’ depth and offensive structure entering 2026.
