Could return in Week 15 Perryman (groin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Buccaneers, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Perryman has missed the Chargers' last three games after sustaining a hamstring injury in a Week 11 win over the Bengals, but he practiced in a limited fashion throughout the week, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 15. If the veteran linebacker is sidelined for the fourth game in a row Sunday, expect Troy Dye or Junior Colson to see increased work with the Chargers' first-team defense.

Begins week with limited practice Perryman (groin) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Perryman hurt his groin against Cincinnati in Week 11 and hasn't played since. The veteran linebacker recorded a trio of limited practices last week but still wasn't able to suit up against Kansas City, so he may need to log a full session this week if he's to play Sunday versus Tampa Bay. Troy Dye has been seeing more work on defense since Perryman has been out.

Active versus Tennessee Perryman (toe) is active for the Chargers' game versus the Titans on Sunday, Kris Rhim of ESPN reports.

Impact Perryman managed to play through a toe injury during last week's win over the Browns and will attempt to do so again Sunday. If he ends up being limited by the injury at all, Nick Niemann would likely see increased playing time.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Gets questionable tag Perryman (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Impact The veteran linebacker played through his toe issue in the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns, so he'll likely suit up Sunday unless his injury worsened over the week. If Perryman is unable to play in Week 10, Nick Niemann will likely start alongside Daiyan Henley in the Chargers' linebacker corps.

NOVEMBER 8 • ROTOWIRE

Upgrades to limited Thursday Perryman (toe) was limited in Thursday's practice, Kris Rhim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Perryman logged a DNP on Wednesday, so he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's date with the Titans. The veteran linebacker has started all eight games this season, logging 47 tackles (34 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and three QB hits.

NOVEMBER 7 • ROTOWIRE

Logs DNP on Wednesday Perryman (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Perryman was able to suit up for the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns after logging a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice that week, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary. However, if the veteran linebacker is unable to practice both Thursday and Friday, he could be in line to miss Los Angeles' Week 10 matchup against the Titans.

NOVEMBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Set to suit up Sunday Perryman (toe) is active for Sunday's Week 9 clash against Cleveland.

Impact Perryman logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice this week, but that will be enough for him to be able to take the field Sunday. The veteran linebacker played through his toe injury last Sunday versus the Saints as well but logged a season-low 35 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, so it's possible he's on a reduced snap count against the Browns again this weekend. Perryman has 42 tackles (30 solo), including 1.0 sacks, through seven games on the campaign.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Could play in Week 9 Perryman (toe) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.

Impact Perryman appears to be trending toward playing in Week 9, as he upgraded from consecutive DNPs to open the Chargers' week of practice to a limited session Friday. However, if the veteran inside linebacker is unable to play through is toe injury, rookie Junior Colson could see increased snaps with Los Angeles' first-team defense.

Sits out practice Wednesday Perryman (toe) did not practice Wednesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Perryman dealt with a toe injury last week as well and entered the weekend deemed questionable to play, but he was ultimately able to suit up Sunday versus the Saints. However, he played only 35 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps in the contest, which was a season-low mark. Perryman's practice participation Thursday and Friday should shed light on his likelihood of carrying an injury designation for the second straight weekend.
