Records 58 tackles Dye finished the 2025 regular season with 58 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, four pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games.

Impact The inside linebacker also made two tackles (one solo) in the Chargers' playoff loss to the Patriots. Dye made seven starts in his 16 regular-season appearances. In each of the last two seasons with the Chargers, he has finished with more than 50 tackles, but he has yet to secure a consistent starting role.

Active for Week 15 Dye (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Dye was working through a hip issue during Week 15 prep, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The sixth-year linebacker has 51 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 12 regular-season games.

Questionable for Week 15 Dye (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact The veteran linebacker from Oregon opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, but following Friday's limited session, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Dye has appeared in 12 games for Los Angeles this season, recording 51 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed. If he's sidelined in Week 15, Del'Shawn Phillips would likely operate as the Chargers' top reserve inside linebacker.

Just one tackle Thursday Dye recorded one tackle (zero solo) during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.

Impact Dye was a tackling machine during fellow linebacker Denzel Perryman's five-game absence with an ankle injury, but Dye only played 24 of the Chargers' 49 defensive snaps in Week 8, signaling his role may have shrunk with Perryman's return. He's probably not a strong IDP consideration in most leagues for a Week 9 matchup at Tennessee.

Cleared to play TNF Dye (thumb) is active for Thursday night's game against the Vikings, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Dye was unable to play against the Colts in Week 7 due to a thumb injury, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play Thursday after logging three consecutive practice sessions. Dye's return gives the Chargers additional depth at inside linebacker alongside Marlowe Wax and behind starters Daiyan Henley and Denzel Perryman.

OCTOBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable for TNF Dye (thumb) is officially listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Vikings.

Impact Dye logged his third consecutive limited practice session of Week 8 on Wednesday, and he had been unable to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Los Angeles' loss to the Colts in Week 7. That bodes well for his odds of being cleared to suit up Thursday, though the final word on Dye's status may not arrive until 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in practice Tuesday Dye (thumb) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

Impact Dye missed this past Sunday's loss to the Colts due to a thumb issue after being unable to practice all last week. It's promising that he was deemed limited on Monday's practice estimation this week and was then able to practice in a limited fashion Tuesday, though his status is still uncertain for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota. If Dye is able to play against the Vikings, he'll likely be used in a rotational role now that Denzel Perryman is back in action.

OCTOBER 22, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Estimated as limited Monday Dye (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

Impact Dye was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Colts after not practicing at all last week. It was his first missed contest of the season. With Dye out against Indianapolis, Daiyan Henley and Denzel Perryman handled the bulk of the linebacker snaps for Los Angeles.

Estimated as limited Monday Dye (thumb) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.

OCTOBER 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play vs. Indianapolis Dye (thumb) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Dye was unable to practice all week due to a thumb injury, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. Dye has started in each of the Chargers' last five games, but the team will get a much-needed boost at inside linebacker with the return of veteran Denzel Perryman.

OCTOBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable to play Week 7 Dye (thumb) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

Impact Despite not practicing all week due to a thumb injury, Dye still has a chance at suiting up for Sunday's home contest. If Dye ends up being ruled out, Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips -- both of whom have been primarily used on special teams -- would be candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sidelined by thumb issue Dye (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Dye logged a fairly typical 68 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Miami, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The severity of the issue is unclear, but his participation in practice the rest of the week should make his status for Week 7 against the Colts clearer.

OCTOBER 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Logs six stops Sunday Dye totaled six tackles (five solo) in the Chargers' win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Dye finished second on the team in tackles behind Daiyan Henley's seven (three solo) during the victory. The 29-year-old is off to a strong start this season and is currently on pace to surpass his career-high 57 tackles (34 solo) set in 2024.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Double-digit stops in loss Dye recorded 11 total tackles (seven solo) in Sunday's 27-10 loss to Washington.

Impact Dye led the team in takedowns in Week 5, reaching double-digit tackles for the second straight week, while the seven solo stops were a season high. Through five contests this year, the linebacker has now compiled 36 total tackles (15 solo), including 1.0 sacks.

Steps up against Giants Dye recorded 13 tackles (three solo) in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Giants.

Impact Dye has been filling in for the injured Denzel Perryman (ankle) as the primary inside linebacker opposite Daiyan Henley. Dye had been underwhelming in the role, managing only 11 combined stops in the first three games of the season. That changed in Sunday's loss, and he should be in for a heavy snap count once again in Week 5 against Washington.
