On Wednesday afternoon, the Chargers announced a pair of roster transactions regarding offensive linemen.
First, the Chargers signed offensive tackle Foster Sarell to the active roster off the practice
squad. Sarell has spent several years with the Chargers and most recently spent the 2025 offseason with the Commanders before re-signing with the Bolts before the regular season began.
To fill Sarell’s spot on the practice squad, the Chargers signed veteran offensive lineman Bobby Hart.
Hart played collegiately at Florida State before being selected by the New York Giants in the seventh round of the 2015 draft. He has started 67-of-98 career games with the Giants, Bengals, Titans, and Bills.
During Wednesday’s practice, The Athletic’s Daniel Popper reported that the starting offensive line during the team’s open practice portion was (from left to right): Jamaree Salyer, Zion Johnson, Bradley Bozeman, Foster Sarell, and Trey Pipkins.
Salyer had experience at left tackle and it looks like the Chargers are attempting to lean on that while Alt is out. Sarell has not had much success at tackle and it looks like they believe he could find a home easier at guard.
