The highest paid lineman IN NFL HISTORY
Come to NU!

I remember the "short arm" controversy but Slater trained with an OT guru that opined that he was the best technique OT that he had worked with.
Slater's rookie year was phenomenal but year 2 was lost to injury. He returned to all NFL status in year 4
The Chargers may have the best tackle duo in the NFL. If the Chargers can get WR and TE production they could surprise next year

...and now he has been carted off the practice field with a leg injury. Good to have so much of that $$ guaranteed!

Well that sucks.
Hope he makes a full recovery. He was smart to lock down all that guaranteed cash.
This is the second major tendon rupture that RS has suffered. The. Patellar tendon is under extraordinary stress in everyone with simple knee flexion and those forces in high level athletes may simply exceed the inherent strength of tendons during explosive activity
The recovery for this injury will approach one year. The prognosis depends on the site of rupture - proximal or distal avulsion versus midsubstance tear.
I usually passed a retention wire through the patella and tibia to prevent quad contraction or accidental knee flexion from disrupting the repair.
A failed repair is difficult to salvage. I actually devised a salvage procedure that I employed on a former Navy football player that was washed out of the USNA after a failed repair. I lost follow up , but another MD notified me that he had returned to semi-pro football, which I would never have recommended.
RS will have the best surgical and rehab treatment available but it will be a long year
