Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Green light to play Week 7
Perryman (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Perryman was a full participant in practice all week, which prompted the Chargers to activate the veteran linebacker from injured reserve Saturday. He missed the Chargers' last five games due to an ankle injury, but he has been cleared to return for Week 7 after going through pregame warmups. Perryman will return to a starting role at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley while Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips provide rotational depth.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Activated from injured reserve
The Chargers activated Perryman (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday.
Perryman is on track to return from a five-game absence due to an ankle injury he sustained during the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs, though he's still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts. The veteran linebacker could see a substantial workload in his return if Troy Dye is unable to play after not practicing all week due to a thumb injury.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Questionable to return vs. Indy
Perryman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Perryman was a full participant in practice all week, but he would have to be reinstated from injured reserve in order to be cleared to play Sunday. The 2015 second-rounder has been sidelined for the Chargers' last five games due to an ankle injury that he sustained during Week 1 against the Chiefs.

Perryman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Designated to return from IR
The Chargers designated Perryman (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Perryman was placed on injured reserve after suffering a high-ankle sprain during the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs. The veteran linebacker has spent the four-game minimum on IR and has been cleared to return to practice, logging an LP for Wednesday's session.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Placed on injured reserve
The Chargers placed Perryman (ankle) on injured reserve Monday.
Perryman suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs. The recovery timeline is 4-to-6 weeks, and an IR stint means that the veteran linebacker will be forced to miss at least four games, which makes Week 6 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Oct. 12 his earliest possible return date. Troy Dye is expected to start alongside Daiyan Henley at inside linebacker for as long as Perryman is sidelined.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Out for Week 2
Perryman (ankle) won't play in the Chargers' matchup against the Raiders on Monday night.
The veteran inside linebacker was unable to practice all week after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs, so it's no surprise he'll be sidelined again Monday. Perryman is an integral part of Los Angeles' defense, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 11 regular-season contests in 2024. Troy Dye is expected to see increased defensive work as a rotational inside linebacker while Perryman is out in Week 2.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Opens week with DNP
Perryman (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Perryman suffered a high-ankle sprain during the Chargers' Week 1 win over the Chiefs, which limited him to just eight defensive snaps and zero tackles. Perryman is a longshot to play against the Raiders on Monday, but a return to practice this week would give him a chance to play Week 2. Troy Dye will likely start alongside Daiyan Henley at inside linebacker if Perryman is in fact ruled out.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Week-to-week with high-ankle sprain
Perryman is considered week-to-week due to a high-ankle sprain that he suffered during the Chargers' 27-21 win over the Chiefs on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Perryman played just eight snaps on defense and did not show up in the box score otherwise before the injury. Rapoport relays that a high-ankle sprain typically carries a 4-to-6 week timetable to return. That likely means that Perryman won't play Week 2 against the Raiders on Monday, Sept. 15, and the 2015 second-rounder is a candidate for a stint on injured reserve, which would force him to sit for at least four games while opening a spot on the Chargers' 53-man roster. Troy Dye ended up playing 33 defensive snaps Friday and is the top candidate to start at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley for as long as Perryman is sidelined.

Perryman is questionable to return to Friday's game against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury.
Perryman suffered the injury in the first half of Friday's game, and he'll undergo further tests to determine the severity of his injury and whether he can return. Del'Shawn Phillips and Troy Dye are candidates to see a significant increase in snaps at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley if Perryman is not cleared to return.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Has charges dropped
Perryman, who was arrested Friday on a felony weapons charge, had the charge dropped Monday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Popper also relayed a statement from Ron Butler, Perryman's agent: "The charges have been dismissed, and we're grateful the matter has been resolved." The inside linebacker finished with 55 tackles (39 solo) across 11 regular-season games for the Chargers in 2024, landing a one-year, $3.6 million deal to return to the team in March.
