Chargers Put Center Tyler Biadasz on IR After He Injured Left Knee in Joint Practice with 49ers
- On Sunday, the Los Angeles Chargers placed center Tyler Biadasz on injured reserve, confirming he will miss the entire 2026 NFL season after suffering an ACL tear during Tuesday's joint practice with the San Francisco 49ers.
- The Chargers signed Biadasz to a three-year, $30 million contract this offseason to stabilize the center position for quarterback Justin Herbert, who was sacked 54 times during the 2025 season.
- Head coach Jim Harbaugh named rookie Jake Slaughter the starter in Biadasz's place, citing Slaughter's performance at Florida, where he allowed just one sack on 422 pass-blocking snaps.
- To fill the roster spot, the Chargers signed wide receiver Gary Jennings Jr. on Sunday, a 29-year-old former fourth-round draft pick who recorded 168 receptions during his college career.
- Meanwhile, left tackle Rashawn Slater returned to practice after recovering from a knee issue, providing the team a key piece as it rebuilds the interior offensive line before the September 13 opener against the Arizona Cardinals.
