Joe Alt: Goal is to have ankle "not affect me at all" next season

The Los Angeles Chargers have lost both of their starting offensive tackles to season-ending injuries, significantly impacting their performance. Rashawn Slater suffered a torn patellar tendon before the regular season began, and Joe Alt, who shifted from right to left tackle to cover for Slater, has also been sidelined. Alt initially missed time due to an ankle injury and aggravated it again in early November. Although Alt did not specify the details of his injury, he described it as severe and aims to fully recover by the start of the next season. The Chargers have struggled in the playoffs, currently 0-3 during quarterback Justin Herbert's tenure, and having both Slater and Alt healthy next season would bolster their chances for success.
