• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Iffy for Week 6

  Rotowire Oct 16, 2026

  Henley (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Henley was a limited practice participant all week due to a knee injury, which he likely picked up during the Chargers' Week 5 loss to the Broncos. Troy Dye would likely start alongside Del'Shawn Phillips at inside linebacker if Henley is not cleared to play against Kansas City.

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2026

  Henley recorded three assisted tackles during Sunday's 26-14 loss to the Raiders. It was just the third time Henley recorded three tackles or less in a regular-season game since the start of the 2025 campaign. The fourth-year pro is up to 11 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, through two regular-season games and is looking to log a third consecutive 100-tackle campaign.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Gets to Brissett in Week 1 loss

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2026

  Henley posted eight tackles (two solo), including 0.5 sacks, during the Chargers' 26-14 loss to the Cardinals on Sunday. Henley's 67 defensive snaps and eight tackles were both second-most on the Chargers behind Derwin James (75 snaps, 10 tackles). Henley combined with Troy Dye to sack Jacoby Brissett on third down midway through the fourth quarter, forcing the Cardinals to punt on the next play. Henley reached the tackling century mark in both 2024 and 2025, and is well on pace to do so again this year.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: INT caps excellent third year

  Rotowire Jan 13, 2026

  Henley recorded 13 tackles (nine solo) and an interception in the 16-3 wild-card loss to the Patriots on Sunday. Henley didn't quite contend for the tackle-leader crown like he did in his breakout 2024 campaign, but the third-year linebacker cemented his status as one of the NFL's elite at the position with another 100-tackle campaign. Perhaps more importantly, the 2023 third-round pick became a more useful pass rusher, tallying 3.5 sacks mainly through a variety of stunt blitzes, and even recorded two INTs during the regular season. It's possible that Henley's excellent two-year run was a product of defensive coordinator Jessie Minter, who is an oft-rumored head-coach candidate during this cycle, but regardless the 26-year-old will be a name to circle come 2026. Henley, who enters the final year of his rookie contract, is eligible for an extension this offseason, but it remains unclear if the franchise will be willing to give out a lucrative contract after allowing past tackle leaders to hit the open market.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Relatively quiet Thursday

  Rotowire Oct 24, 2025

  Henley recorded four tackles (one solo) during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings. Henley played only 39 defensive snaps in the Week 8 game that got out of hand relatively quickly, limiting his tackling opportunities. IDP managers will hope he gets more chances in Week 9, but the Chargers will be traveling to take on a Tennessee squad that throws the ball more than almost any other team in the league.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Limited production in Week 7

  Rotowire Oct 20, 2025

  Henley recorded two tackles in Sunday's 38-24 loss to the Colts. Henley was uncharacteristically quiet in Week 7, securing a season-low two stops. The linebacker was limited at practice throughout the week due to a groin injury, and it's possible his lack of production could be due to the injury. Henley has registered 48 total tackles (25 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and an interception over seven games this season.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Good to go against Indianapolis

  Rotowire Oct 17, 2025

  Henley (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Henley was limited in the first two practices of the week due to a groin injury, but he's been cleared for Sunday's game after practicing in full Friday. His availability is a boost for the Chargers, especially with fellow linebacker Troy Dye (thumb) currently listed as questionable. Henley has 46 tackles (25 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two pass defenses (one interception) through the first six games of the regular season.

  Rotowire Oct 15, 2025

  Henley was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury. Henley has played every defensive snap this season, including in the Chargers' Week 6 win over Miami. There's no indication he's in danger of missing Sunday's matchup against the Colts, though his practice participation in the next two days should provide further insight.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Just four tackles against Denver

  Rotowire Sep 22, 2025

  Henley logged four tackles (two solo) during the Chargers' 23-20 win over the Broncos on Sunday. Sunday marked just the fifth time since the start of the 2024 season that Henley has logged five tackles or less in a regular-season game, though he still finished tied for second on the Chargers behind Derwin James (12). Henley has played every single defensive snap this season, and despite the dip in tackling production Sunday, the 2023 third-rounder is on pace to crack 100-plus tackles for a second consecutive season.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Good to go Monday

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Henley (illness) is active for Monday night's Week 2 game against Las Vegas. Henley was a late addition to Los Angeles' injury report Monday after coming down with an illness. While he may not be at 100 percent, the third-year linebacker will give it a go in Monday's AFC West clash. That's a big sigh of relief for the Chargers, as Henley played every defensive snap Week 1 against Kansas City and finished with eight tackles, including 1.0 sacks.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Added to injury report

  Rotowire Sep 15, 2025

  Henley (illness) has been added to the Chargers' injury report and is questionable for Monday's game against the Raiders. Henley played 100 percent of defensive snaps Week 1, recording eight tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, so his absence would be a substantial blow to Los Angeles' linebacker corps if he were a late scratch for Monday's road matchup against Las Vegas. His status will be made official at least 90 minutes prior to Monday's 10:00 p.m. ET kickoff. With Denzel Perryman (ankle) already expected to land on IR, Troy Dye and Del'Shawn Phillips (toe) will be candidates to step into significant roles on defense if Henley misses any time.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Gets to Mahomes in win

  Rotowire Sep 5, 2025

  Henley logged eight tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during Friday's 27-21 win over the Chiefs. Henley accrued five takedowns during the Chiefs' penultimate drive of the first half, which was capped off by an eight-yard sack on Patrick Mahomes to force the Chiefs to settle for three points on a Harrison Butker 35-yard field goal. Henley isn't known for his pass-rushing ability, but it took just one game to match his sack total from 2024. The 2023 third-rounder led the Chargers last season with 147 tackles across 17 regular-season games, which was eighth most in the NFL and seventh most among linebackers.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Participating in OTAs

  Rotowire Jun 5, 2025

  Henley (shoulder) has been participating in OTAs. The linebacker underwent surgery after the 2024 season to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder that he had played through during the campaign. Now that he's back, he should be good to go for training camp beginning in July. Henley led the Chargers with 147 tackles (84 solo) during the 2024 regular season.

• Chargers' Daiyan Henley: Played through torn labrum

  Rotowire Jan 12, 2025

  Henley told reporters Sunday that he will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum that he played through during the regular season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. It's unclear when exactly Henley tore his labrum, as he never showed up on the Chargers' injury report for that specific issue. He was able to play in every single regular-season game, and he finished Saturday's 32-12 loss to the Texans with 10 total tackles, which tied with Alohi Gilman for most on the Chargers. Henley's timeline for a return to on-field action will be more clear once he undergoes surgery.
