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. Perryman may have to practice in full Thursday or Friday in order for the Chargers to reinstate him off IR ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Dolphins.

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.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Won't return vs. KC
Perryman (ankle) has been ruled out for the rest of Friday's game against the Chiefs.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Exits with ankle injury
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.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Arrested Friday
Perryman was arrested Friday on a felony weapons charge, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.
Per Rhim, Perryman is being held without bail and is scheduled to appear in municipal court Tuesday. Perryman signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract with the Chargers in March after finishing the 2024 regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 games.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Back at practice
Perryman (elbow) participated in Wednesday's practice, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.
Perryman tore at least one ligament in his left elbow during the Chargers' 2024 wild-card loss, but he now appears to have moved past the issue. The veteran from Miami was one of the Chargers' top inside linebackers in 2024, recording 55 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 11 regular-season contests. Perryman signed a one-year, $3.6 deal to return to Los Angeles in March, so he's expected to remain one of the top inside linebackers in 2025.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Staying in Los Angeles
Perryman (elbow) is in line to sign with the Chargers on a one-year, $3.6 million contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Perryman played a big role in the Chargers' defense in 2024 -- especially against the run -- and he finished the regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 games. He tore a ligament in his elbow during the Chargers' AFC wild-card loss to the Texans in January, but the veteran linebacker is expected to be fully healthy for the start of the 2025 season.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Tears ligament in elbow
Perryman told reporters Sunday that he tore at least one ligament in his left elbow during Saturday's 32-12 AFC wild-card loss to the Texans, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Perryman suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Saturday's game, but he wasn't ruled out until midway through the fourth quarter. He was seen with a large brace on his left elbow Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether he'll need to undergo surgery. Perryman signed a one-year deal with the Chargers in March of 2024 and will enter the offseason as a free agent for a second straight year. He finished the 2024 regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 games.

Perryman (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans.

Perryman (elbow) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Texans.
Perryman injured his left elbow while making a tackle on Joe Mixon in the first quarter of Saturday's game.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Clear to play in wild-card contest
Perryman (groin) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Texans.
Perryman missed the final two games of the regular season due to a lingering groin issue, but he'll be available for Los Angeles' first playoff contest. The veteran linebacker will likely reclaim his starting role, though he wasn't an every-down player even prior to the injury, as he shared the workload with Junior Colson and Troy Dye. That could be the case again Saturday, especially since Perryman has logged just 11 defensive snaps since Week 11.
