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. Troy Dye saw extended action in Perryman's place the last three games, making 29 tackles (15 solo) over those contests.

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.
DECEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
Impact A groin injury has prevented Perryman from playing in the Chargers' last four games, but the veteran linebacker relayed Tuesday that he plans to play in Thursday's AFC West showdown, per Bridget Condon of NFL Network. Perryman's full participation in Wednesday's session is a step in the right direction, though his official status for Thursday's game won't likely be known until the Chargers announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Expects to play Thursday Perryman (groin) said Tuesday that the plan is for him to play in Thursday night's contest against the Broncos, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.
Impact Perryman has been sidelined for the Chargers' last four contests while working through a groin injury, but he appears to be hopeful that he'll be ready to go for Week 16. The linebacker was estimated to be a limited participant at Monday's walkthrough before officially logging a limited practice Tuesday.

Estimated as limited Monday Perryman (groin) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Impact Perryman has missed the Chargers' last four contests, but he was listed as questionable ahead of Week 15 after practicing on a limited basis all week. It would seem to suggest he's nearing a return. The Chargers play the Broncos on Thursday night.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Inactive Sunday Perryman (groin) is inactive for Sunday's matchup with the Buccaneers.
Impact The inside linebacker will now miss his fourth straight game despite practicing in a limited fashion throughout the week. Troy Dye and Junior Colson should see more snaps in his absence.
DECEMBER 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
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.
DECEMBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Likely out for Week 14 Perryman (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
Impact The veteran linebacker returned to practice in a limited fashion this week after sustaining a groin injury in the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals, but his doubtful designation implies that he'll likely miss his third consecutive game Sunday. With Perryman expected to be sidelined in Week 14, expect Troy Dye or Nick Niemann to serve as one of the Chargers' starting inside linebackers.
DECEMBER 6, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Gets in limited practice Perryman (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Perryman has missed Los Angeles' past two games with the injury, but starting the practice week with a limited sessions gives the veteran linebacker a chance to be ready for Sunday against Kansas City. Daiyan Henley (knee) missed practice Wednesday, so the Chargers could get thin at linebacker if neither can play.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • SI.COM
Set to miss another contest Perryman (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 13 tilt versus the Falcons.
Impact Perryman injured his groin in Week 11 against Cincinnati and didn't play last Sunday against Baltimore. He hasn't practiced at all over the past two weeks, so it's no surprise that he's been ruled out for Sunday. Nick Niemann and Troy Dye figure to soak up defensive snaps in Perryman's absence.
