Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Tears ligament in elbow
Perryman told reporters Sunday that he tore at least one ligament in his left elbow during Saturday's 32-12 AFC wild-card loss to the Texans, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
Perryman suffered the injury early in the first quarter of Saturday's game, but he wasn't ruled out until midway through the fourth quarter. He was seen with a large brace on his left elbow Sunday, and it remains to be seen whether he'll need to undergo surgery. Perryman signed a one-year deal with the Chargers in March of 2024 and will enter the offseason as a free agent for a second straight year. He finished the 2024 regular season with 55 tackles (39 solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 11 games.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Clear to play in wild-card contest
Perryman (groin) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup versus the Texans.
Perryman missed the final two games of the regular season due to a lingering groin issue, but he'll be available for Los Angeles' first playoff contest. The veteran linebacker will likely reclaim his starting role, though he wasn't an every-down player even prior to the injury, as he shared the workload with Junior Colson and Troy Dye. That could be the case again Saturday, especially since Perryman has logged just 11 defensive snaps since Week 11.

Perryman (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Limited to open week
Perryman (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
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.

Troy Dye would be in line to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside starter Daiyan Henley if Perryman is not cleared to play in Week 18.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Won't play against Patriots
Perryman (groin) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Patriots after logging a DNP on Thursday's injury report.
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 in Week 18. 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.
