Sent to IR The Chargers placed Perryman (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Impact It's not yet clear what type of issue Perryman is dealing with, but he'll need to sit out at least the first four games of the regular season. The veteran linebacker started all 10 of the regular-season games in which he appeared and Los Angeles' sole postseason contest last year, and he has been slated for a big role again during the upcoming campaign. During Perryman's absence, Troy Dye is likely to step into a bigger role at linebacker.

Returning to Bolts Perryman and the Chargers agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Perryman will return to the Chargers for a third consecutive season (and ninth campaign since being drafted by the team in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft). He saw his production dip in 2025, finishing with 47 tackles (30 solo) and three pass defenses across 10 regular-season games. He missed seven games last season, five of which were due to an ankle injury and two more because of a suspension. Perryman's best days are behind him, but he'll fortify the Chargers' depth at inside linebacker behind projected starters Troy Dye and Daiyan Henley.
MARCH 12 • ROTOWIRE
Records 47 tackles in 10 games Perryman concluded the 2025 regular season with 47 tackles (30 solo) and three pass breakups in 10 appearances.
Impact The inside linebacker missed five games with an ankle injury and two more due to a suspension stemming from a Week 16 hit on Cowboys receiver Ryan Flournoy. Perryman did start all 10 games he played in as well as the Chargers' playoff matchup with the Patriots. The veteran has played on one-year deals for each of the last three seasons, and he is set to become a free agent again.
