Chargers' Troy Dye: Double-digit stops in loss
Dye recorded 11 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.
Dye led the team in takedowns in Week 5, reaching double-digit tackles for the second straight week, while the seven solo stops were a season high. Through five contests this year, the linebacker has now compiled 36 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Steps up against Giants
Dye recorded 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.
Dye has been filling in for the injured Denzel Perryman (ankle) as the primary inside linebacker opposite Daiyan Henley. Dye had been underwhelming in the role, managing only 11 combined stops in the first three games of the season. That changed in Sunday's loss, and he should be in for a heavy snap count once again in Week 5 against Washington.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Five tackles in victory
Dye recorded five total tackles (three solo) in Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs.
Dye was on the field for a little over half of the team's defensive snaps, playing 33 of a possible 61 snaps with the unit. The linebacker ranked third on the team in tackles, and with Denzel Perryman (ankle) uncertain ahead of Week 2, Dye could step into a more prominent role against Las Vegas on Sept. 15.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Sticking with Bolts
The Chargers will re-sign Dye to a two-year, $5.5 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Dye had a career year with the Chargers in 2024, logging 57 tackles (34 solo) and 1.5 sacks over 17 games. He'll try to keep that momentum rolling into 2025, as he figures to retain a significant role in the linebacker rotation.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Larger role in second half of 2024
Dye played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 57 tackles (34 solo), including 1.5 sacks.
Dye signed a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Chargers in March of 2024 after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Vikings. He was utilized mainly on special teams over the first half of the year, but he started to see a noticeable increase in defensive snaps in Week 9 against the Browns and was listed as a starter in five of the Chargers' final seven games of the regular season. Dye ended up finishing with career highs in combined tackles, solo tackles and sacks, and as an unrestricted free agent, he should get plenty of interest from linebacker-needy teams during the offseason.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Leads Chargers linebackers in snaps
Dye recorded five tackles (four solo) during Saturday's 40-7 win at New England.
Dye's involvement in the defense has steadily increased as the season has progressed, and he saw a season-high snap share in Week 17. However, he could see his workload cut back in Week 18 at Las Vegas if Denzel Perryman (groin) ends up being available.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Sacks Mayfield in blowout loss
Dye registered nine tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Chargers' 40-17 loss to the Buccaneers this past Sunday.
Dye and Elijah Molden finished Sunday's game as the second-leading tacklers for the Chargers behind Daiyan Henley (10). Dye was responsible for the Bolts' lone sack as he got to Baker Mayfield for a five-yard loss late in the second quarter. Dye has seen a noticeable increase in defensive snaps over his last five games, and over that span he has logged 36 tackles (18 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Active in loss
Dye recorded six tackles (four solo) in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Chiefs.
At the same time, Dye only played on 51 percent of the defensive snaps with Junior Colson (ankle) back in the lineup. Starter Denzel Perryman (groin) and Colson missed the Chargers' Week 13 win over the Falcons, opening the door for Dye to play on 77 percent of the defensive snaps and make 14 tackles (six solo), both season highs. Perryman has missed the last three games with the groin injury, so if he sits out again Sunday against the Buccaneers, Dye should be in line to continue his expanded role.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Steps up production in start
Dye recorded 14 total tackles (seven solo) and a pass defensed in Sunday's 17-13 win over the Falcons.
Dye played a season-high 77 percent of the team's defensive snaps with Denzel Perryman (groin) unavailable, leading to a season high in tackles. Nick Niemann saw the majority of the workload in Perryman's place in Week 12, but that flipped to Dye in Week 13. If Perryman remains out in Week 14 versus Kansas City, expect Dye to get the starter's workload again on Sunday Night Football.

Chargers' Troy Dye: Moving to L.A.
The Chargers signed Dye (wrist) to a one-year deal Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Dye has found a new home in Los Angeles after spending the first four years of his NFL career in Minnesota. According to Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the Vikings offered Dye more money than the Chargers, but Los Angeles sold the 27-year-old linebacker on "the chance to start." Dye has been a core special teamer for the Vikings over the past four seasons, recording 80 total tackles in 60 games, and he'll have the opportunity to compete for a large role with the Chargers this offseason.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Role increases in 2023
Dye (wrist) logged 17 total tackles, including 1.0 sack, while also forcing one fumble in 15 games during the 2023 regular season.
Dye sustained a wrist injury during the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions and he was placed on injured reserve shortly thereafter. The 27-year-old linebacker saw a more prominent role due to Anthony Barr missing a majority of the year. Dye, a career special-teamer, played his most defensive snaps (112) since his rookie year in 2020. The Oregon product is heading into the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Lands on IR with wrist injury
The Vikings placed Dye (wrist) on injured reserve Saturday.
Dye is dealing with a wrist injury that will put an end to his regular season. The fourth-year linebacker began the campaign working almost exclusively on special teams before moving into a more prominent role after Jordan Hicks went on IR with a shin injury after Week 10. With Hicks now back in action, Dye's move to IR shouldn't have a big impact on Minnesota's defensive gameplan. Dye finishes the regular season with 17 tackles (11 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a forced fumble. He isn't eligible to return unless the Vikings advance to the NFC Championship Game.

Vikings' Troy Dye: One tackle in larger role
Dye had one total tackle and played on 22 of the defense's 55 snaps in Sunday's loss to Denver.
With Jordan Hicks on injured reserve with a shin injury, Dye becomes the second top interior linebacker after Ivan Pace (and would start in a base defense). Dye comes off the field in nickel and dime packages, which happened frequently Sunday as the Vikings almost exclusively played three safeties.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Limited to special teams
Dye didn't record a tackle and played all 17 snaps on special teams in Sunday's win over Green Bay.
Dye started a game at linebacker last season, but he'll be limited to mostly special teams as long as Eric Kendricks and Jordan Hicks are healthy.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Ready to go
Dye (foot) was not on the injury report Wednesday and will play Sunday against the Packers, Craig Peters of the Vikings' official site reports.
Dye suffered the injury during the teams preseason finale against the Broncos. His availability will help bolster the Vikings' linebacker depth Sunday against the Packers.

Vikings' Troy Dye: Won't come back against Denver
Dye (foot) was ruled out for the remainder of Saturday's preseason finale against the Broncos, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
The exact nature and severity of Dye's foot injury are still unknown, but it was considered severe enough to keep out for the remainder of Saturday's exhibition. With the third-year defender sidelined, rookies Brian Asamoah and William Kwenkeu should see increased reps at inside linebacker for Minnesota.
