The Los Angeles Chargers are off to a rough start on the road in Week 4 against Jaxson Dart and the New York Giants. Already trailing 7-0 in the game, the team saw starting left tackle Joe Alt come up gimpy on a play and though he hobbled off the field, he was taken to the locker room on a cart

Alt is already filling in for Rashawn Slater, who was lost for the season due to an injury in training camp. The Chargers are also playing without Mekhi Becton on Sunday, one of the team's starting guards. Suddenly, the offensive line is in shambles. 

 

Though the Chargers have started the season 3-0 with all three of those wins coming over AFC West opponents, injuries are starting to pile up for the team.

Alt was the team's first-round pick last season, taken No. 5 overall, and many feel he is a future All-Pro for multiple seasons. Fans will have to hold their breath, hoping this injury isn't serious.
