So no one really knows as of yet. Hell I could speculate he'll be out until 2028....right??? I'll wait for the team report/release for my news on TB.

But look at the bright side: so many internet sports injuries specialists were created and self ordained since yesterday 👍

I would expect probably out of the season the way this is worded, but I could be wrong:

As a Hampton lover and fantasy owner I do not like this line from Adam Schefter! Run blocking is where Slaughter has struggled. His pass blocking has been fine.

"His absence could be a blow for Omarion Hampton and the Chargers’ run game under new OC Mike McDaniel."

The Chargers will now depend on Jake Slaughter to shore up the IOL which was a huge disadvantage last season. A rookie and two journeymen flanking him.

That is the truth of it.

And that is why I am advocating for Joe Hortiz to get busy in a playoff year with a very tough schedule.

Yes the depth looks better than last years dismal o line crew, but it is mostly young and inexperienced or journeymen as you say. At least bring in a veteran like Zeitler for depth even if you don't start him week 1.

I get "they'll tell us later"regards time line. It's fair to assume he'll miss some time.

Looks like we depend on Slaughter to be starting C for the time being. It's a definite lock we have better personnel at IOL and massively better coaching and play calling.

Thats my guess too. If he needs surgery and has more than one torn, he done....even if the ACL is "damaged" which means not a complete tear. However, maybe the "more clarity" will show better 🤞🤞
