The Chargers are hitting their stride on offense going into the playoffs

The Los Angeles Chargers' offense is finally hitting its stride at the most important part of the season
JANUARY 7, 2025 • Associated Press
Not going to play in Week 18 Perryman (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Impact Perryman will miss his second straight contest and sixth over Los Angeles' past seven games due to a groin injury. The veteran linebacker will finish the regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, over 11 contests. It remains to be seen if Perryman will be ready to return by the Chargers' wild-card matchup next weekend. Troy Dye has been starting alongside Daiyan Henley in Perryman's stead.

Doubtful for Week 18 Perryman (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Impact Perryman missed Week 17 against the Patriots and has played just 11 defensive snaps since Week 11, missing five of the last six contests. Troy Dye and Daiyan Henley should again handle linebacker duties against Las Vegas with Perryman unlikely to play.

Limited to open week Perryman (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Perryman was unable to play in the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Patriots due to a groin injury that he aggravated in Week 16 against the Broncos. He'll have two more chances this week to upgrade his practice participation ahead of Sunday's regular-season finale against the Raiders. Troy Dye would be in line to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Daiyan Henley if Perryman was not cleared to play in Week 18.

Gus Edwards, Denzel Perryman injuries headline Chargers inactives The Chargers have some big names on the inactives list before Week 17 vs. Patriots
DECEMBER 28, 2024 • SI.COM
Won't play against Patriots Perryman (groin) was listed as a DNP on Thursday's injury report and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against New England.
Impact Perryman aggravated a groin injury during the Chargers' Week 16 win over the Broncos. The injury was severe enough for him to be sidelined all week, and he'll work on progressing through his recovery enough to be available for the Chargers' regular-season finale against the Raiders on Sunday, Jan. 5. Rookie third-round pick Junior Colson ended up playing a season-high 36 defensive snaps in Week 16, and he could have the inside track on Nick Niemann and Troy Dye to start at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley on Saturday due to Perryman's injury.

Sits out practice Tuesday Perryman (groin) didn't practice Thursday.
Impact Perryman is in danger of missing his fifth game in the past three weeks as he is still dealing with a groin injury suffered during the team's Week 16 win over the Broncos. If he ends up being unable to play in Saturday's game against the Patriots, Troy Dye would likely start at linebacker in his place.

Questionable to return Thursday Perryman (groin) is questionable to return to Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact The starting inside linebacker missed the last four games with a groin issue before returning for Thursday night's divisional matchup. He made one solo tackle before exiting.

Will play against Denver Perryman (groin) is active for Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Perryman has missed the last four games due to a groin injury, but he will return for Thursday night's AFC West clash. The veteran linebacker has logged 54 tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 10 regular-season games. Perryman's return Thursday means Troy Dye will revert to a rotational role at inside linebacker.

Listed as questionable for Week 16 Perryman (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough and is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Broncos.

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.
DECEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.

Out for Week 14 Perryman (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Kansas City.
Impact Perryman was limited in practice all week due to a groin injury, and after initially being listed as doubtful, he has now been ruled out for Sunday's contest. It'll be Perryman's third straight game he'll be sidelined for due to a groin injury he suffered in Week 11 against the Bengals, and his next opportunity to play will be Week 15 against the Buccaneers on Sunday, Dec. 15. Junior Colson (ankle) and Troy Dye are the top candidates to start at inside linebacker Sunday alongside Daiyan Henley due to Perryman's injury.
