Over the next few weeks ahead of training camp, I will continue to break down the depth chart for each Chargers position.
Quarterback
Running back
Wide receiver
Tight end
Next, I project what the offensive line room will look like heading into the 2026 season.
LT: Rashawn Slater
After missing the entire 2025 season with a ruptured patellar tendon suffered early in training camp, Slater is on pace to be fully cleared for camp. When healthy, he is one of the league’s best left tackles.
LG: Kayode Awosika
Signed as a free agent in March after four years with the Lions, Awosika spent the spring taking first-unit repetitions at left guard. While second-round draft pick Jake Slaughter and Trevor Penning will provide heavy competition in training camp, Awosika’s experience at the position gives him the early edge.
C: Tyler Biadasz
The Chargers made a massive pre-free agency splash by securing the former Pro Bowler on a three-year, $30 million contract. Biadasz serves as a significant, durable upgrade over the retired Bradley Bozeman.
RG: Cole Strange
Another offseason addition, Strange signed a two-year contract following a 2025 campaign where he started 14 games. The former first-round pick has a major advantage because he already knows Mike McDaniel’s scheme from their time together in Miami.
RT: Joe Alt
After a highly promising rookie season was cut short by injury, the former first-round pick is rehabilitating alongside Slater and enters 2026 fully healthy. He rounds out what the Chargers hope will be one of the most dominant tackle duos in the NFL.
Jake Slaughter
Trevor Penning
Logan Taylor
Travis Burke
Trey Pipkins
