Slater & Alt's Return Boosts Chargers' Offensive Line

0:00It's April 18th. California News Today starts now. AI-powered and ready. I'm Cory with the story. Chargers General Manager Joe Horitz kept spending light on the offensive line this free agency because he's banking on tackles Roshan Slater and Joe. Alt returning fully healthy. These two formed the league's top duo at the position, a huge step up from last year's injury mess. They did make some interior moves, swapping Bradley Boseman for Tyler Biotis at center, shining coal-strange and slotting Trevor Pining as the other starting guard heading into the draft. Last season wrecked the line with waves of injuries, forcing desperate street signings like Bobby Hart just to fill spots. Fans felt the pain, but new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme crazed athletic guards inside, while Slater and Alt anchor the edges, perfectly. Now the latest injury updates from Horitz sound real promising. Both guys are a head of schedule, tracking well, and could join the offseason program starting next Monday in some capacity with training camp as the full target.

1:04No rush on their rehab, but if they hit the field soon, Chargers fans got a reason to hype their rebuilt line for a dominant run game come fall.
