News

  • Paces team in stops, interceptions

    Perryman recorded nine tackles (four solo) and one interception during Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Perryman snagged his first interception since Week 13 of the 2019-20 campaign, while he also logged a team-high nine tackles in the Raiders' Week 12 victory in Seattle. The veteran will look to continue being an integral part of Las Vegas' defensive unit in this weekend's divisional matchup versus the Chargers.

  • Six stops Week 11

    Perryman recorded six tackles (five solo) during Sunday's 22-16 overtime victory versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: Perryman played 71 percent of Las Vegas' defensive snaps after sitting out last week's loss to Indianapolis due to a lingering hip injury. The 29-year-old also paced the Raiders' linebackers in stops, tying defensive end Maxx Crosby for the team's second-most tackles against Denver. Perryman has now recorded 24 tackles while playing 140 defensive snaps over his past three games, and he should continue to slot in as one of his team's top tacklers while Divine Deablo (forearm) remains out on IR.

  • Will suit up Sunday

    Perryman (hip) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Perryman was ruled inactive with a hip injury ahead of last week's loss to the Colts, leaving him questionable to play Week 11. However, the issue appears to have improved after a week off, and the middle linebacker should reprise his starting role between Jayon Brown and Luke Masterson on Sunday.

  • Chance to play Week 11

    Perryman (hip) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Denver, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman was held out of the team's Week 10 loss to the Colts after being listed as questionable due to a hip injury, but it appears he has a better shot of suiting up in Week 11 after logging a full practice Friday. In eight appearances, the veteran linebacker has totaled 40 stops and one sack across 216 defensive snaps.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Perryman (hip) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: Perryman was considered questionable to play after popping up with separate rib and hip injuries Wednesday. While the middle linebacker was then able to string together back-to-back limited practices, he'll be forced to miss his third game of the season Sunday. In Perryman's absence, expect Curtis Bolton and Luke Masterson to step into bigger roles alongside starting linebacker Jayon Brown.

  • Questionable to play Sunday

    Perryman (hip/ribs) was a limited participant in practice Friday and is considered questionable to play in Sunday's game against the Colts, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman popped up with separate hip and rib injuries following last Sunday's game against Jacksonville and was sidelined during practice Wednesday. While the nature and severity of these issues are unclear, he did string together consecutive limited sessions Thursday and Friday, which is an encouraging sign for his availability against Indianapolis. Perryman collected 24 tackles while playing 133 defensive snaps over the past three weeks, and he could take on an even bigger role after fellow…read more

  • Misses practice with hip/ribs issue

    Perryman (hip/ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman played on 76 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps Sunday versus Jacksonville, but he apparently hurt his hip and ribs at some point during the loss. The veteran linebacker has been an important cog for Las Vegas of late, notching at least six tackles in each of his past four contests. As such, it would be a big loss for Las Vegas if Perryman is forced to miss any time.

  • Double-digit stops Sunday

    Perryman recorded 10 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Perryman logged double-digit tackles for the first time this season, as he played 75 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps in Week 9 versus Jacksonville. The veteran linebacker is now up to 40 stops, including one sack, across six games played in 2022, and he'll look to provide another effective performance when Las Vegas hosts the Colts on Sunday.

  • Eight tackles in loss

    Perryman recorded eight tackles (six solo), including one tackle for loss, in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Perryman logged eight stops for the second time this season, and he played at least 57 percent of his team's defensive snaps for the third game in a row. The 29-year-old has now totaled 30 tackles (23 solo) and one sack on 164 defensive snaps over five contests in 2022. Perryman registered 154 tackles last season, and he could see increased production if he can stay on the field moving forward.

  • Logs a sack in Week 5

    Perryman recorded eight tackles (six solo), including one sack, during Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Perryman sacked Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter of Monday's matchup against Kansas City, giving him his first quarterback takedown of the year. The veteran linebacker played the most snaps (48) he has yet this season in Week 5, and he'll look to take on a similar role in Week 7 against the Texans once the Raiders return from their Week 6 bye.

  • Will play Monday night

    Perryman (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Week 5 at Kansas City, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports.

    Analysis: Perryman exited Las Vegas' win over Denver in Week 4 after just 10 plays with a concussion, but he won't miss any more game action due to that particular injury. The veteran linebacker has just eight tackles through two games this season.

  • Returns to full participation

    Perryman (concussion) was a full participant during Friday's practice, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Perryman returned to action in Week 4 after missing back-to-back games due to an ankle injury, but he suffered a concussion after just 10 snaps and didn't return. However, after being a limited participant Thursday, he logged a full practice Friday, putting him in line to suit up Monday against the Chiefs. Across 35 defensive snaps, Perryman has recorded eight tackles, but he's yet to finish a full game this season, which is likely why the Raiders signed Blake Martinez to their active roster…read more

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Perryman has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Broncos due to a concussion.

    Analysis: Perryman missed the last two games due to an ankle injury, and he sustained a concussion in the second half of Sunday's Week 4 matchup. Darien Butler should see increased playing time in Perryman's absence.

  • No injury designation

    Perryman doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's contest against Denver, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Perryman picked up an ankle injury during the season opener and has missed back-to-back games. However, he returned to full participation Friday after being limited during Wednesday and Thursday's practices. The 2021 Pro Bowler led the team with 154 tackles last season and figures to reprise his lead role now that he's back to full strength.

  • Limited Wednesday

    Perryman (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Perryman returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant throughout last week's sessions. The 29-year-old linebacker has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in Week 1, leaving fellow starters Jayon Brown and Divine Deablo to pick up the slack for Las Vegas. Perryman led the Raiders with 154 tackles last season, so his potential availability could provide a big boost for the team's defense this Sunday against Houston.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    Perryman (ankle) did not practice Friday and is listed as out for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Rachel Gossen of Raiders.com reports.

    Analysis: The 2021 Pro Bowler will miss a second consecutive game after injuring his ankle at the Chargers in Week 1. In Perryman's absence, Divine Deablo and Jayon Brown should be in line to do the heavy lifting behind Las Vegas' front four, and the Raiders' defense will probably miss last year's team leader in tackles when Derrick Henry is coming downhill.

  • Logs consecutive DNPs

    Perryman (ankle) was a non-participant during Thursday's practice, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Perryman failed to suit up during Sunday's 29-23 overtime loss to the Cardinals, after he suffered an ankle injury during the team's season opener against the Chargers. Although the veteran linebacker has opened the week with two straight DNPs on the practice report, his ankle issue has been labeled day-to-day and isn't considered to be too serious. If Perryman plans on suiting up Sunday against the Titans, he'll likely need to log some activity during Friday's session. If he's eventually…read more

  • Ruled out Sunday

    Perryman (ankle) will be sidelined for the Raiders' Week 2 game against the Cardinals, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman injured his ankle in the team's Week 1 loss to the Chargers. As a result, he was sidelined at practice all week. In his absence, Darien Butler figures to be the likely candidate to fill in at middle linebacker.

  • Dodges major injury

    Perryman (ankle) avoided a major injury Week 1 at the Chargers and is considered day-to-day, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman left Sunday's contest early with an ankle injury, but it fortunately appears to be a minor one. Whether the 2021 Pro Bowl linebacker will be able to play in Las Vegas' Week 2 matchup versus Arizona is still to be determined, though. If he can't go, Darien Butler and Luke Masterson would probably be in for increased playing time.

  • Dealing with ankle injury

    Perryman sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Perryman started Sunday's game and logged three tackles (two solo), including a tackle for a loss, prior to his departure. It's not yet clear whether he'll be available for next Saturday's game against Arizona, but Darien Butler and Luke Masterson would likely see increased playing time if Perryman is held out.

  • Remains in Las Vegas

    Perryman (ankle) will remain with the Raiders for the 2022 season, Levi Damien of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Perryman sustained an ankle injury during the Raiders' wild-card loss to Cincinnati in January, but he should be healthy ahead of offseason activities. He appeared in 15 games last year and logged a career-high 154 tackles (102 solo), three pass defenses, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Perryman exited Saturday's wild-card game in Cincinnati due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: Before his departure in the fourth quarter, Perryman paced the Raiders with nine tackles, which was just shy of his 10.3 per game on the campaign.

  • Leads team in tackles

    Perryman wrapped up his 2021 regular season with a career-high 154 tackles (102 solo), three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 15 games.

    Analysis: Perryman finished the regular season as the Raiders' leading tackler by a fairly wide margin, despite missing Weeks 14 and 15 due to an ankle injury. The 29-year-old, who was traded from Carolina to Las Vegas during the preseason, turned out to be a steal for the Raiders with a minuscule cap hit that fell just shy of $1 million in 2021. Perryman has another year remaining on his current contract as well.

  • Forces fumble vs. Colts

    Perryman racked up seven tackles (five solo) and one forced fumble during Sunday's 23-20 win over Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Perryman cleared the NFL's health and safety protocols in time to play Week 17, but he saw his defensive snap share decrease to 78 percent. Nonetheless, he was an integral part of Las Vegas' upset win over Indianapolis. Perryman will need to log another productive outing during Week 18's must-win matchup against the Chargers.

  • Active for Week 17

    Perryman (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Colts.

    Analysis: Perryman cleared the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but he was still listed as questionable for Week 17 with an ankle injury. He played through the injury in Week 16 and notched a season-low five tackles, so while he's active, his usual production (133 tackles through the first 12 games of the season) may be diminished.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Perryman was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday but is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman played despite the ankle injury in Week 16, so the more likely issue is whether his former status on the COVID list and subsequent absence from practice during the week affect his conditioning at all. If Perryman can't go, Divine Deablo should see extra playing time.

  • Shifts to COVID list

    Perryman (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Monday after testing positive for the virus, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Perryman played through an ankle injury Sunday against the Broncos after missing the previous two contests, but his status is now in question while in the health and safety protocols. He has yet to be ruled out for Week 17 but will need to clear said protocols before retaking the field.

  • Active Sunday

    Perryman (ankle) is active for Sunday's contest against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Perryman will be available for the first time since Week 13. The 29-year-old has recorded double-digit tackles in 11 of his 13 appearances this season.

  • Officially inactive

    Perryman (ankle) is inactive Monday against the Browns.

    Analysis: Perryman was initially ruled out for Week 15 on Thursday, but at point, the Raiders-Browns matchup was still scheduled for Saturday afternoon. Although he was still likely to miss the game even with the extra pair of days for recovering, this makes it official. With both Perryman and Will Compton (personal) out, K.J. Wright will now start at middle linebacker, while Patrick Onwuasor is the likeliest candidate to start on the strong side.

  • Out Saturday

    Perry (ankle) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Browns, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman will be sidelined for the second straight game as he continues to manage the ankle injury. Divine Deablo should continue to have an increased role in the linebacking corps for the Raiders this weekend.

  • DNP on Tuesday

    Perryman (ankle) was a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: The 29-year-old was unable to practice all of last week, ultimately missing the team's game against the Chiefs. Perryman's inability to practice Tuesday continued the trend from last week, putting his availability for Saturday's matchup with the Browns in doubt. If he can't play, Marquel Lee and Divine Deablo would step into larger roles for a second straight week.

  • Declared out for Sunday's contest

    Perryman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Kansas City.

    Analysis: After not practicing all week, Perryman has officially been ruled out. With Nick Kwiatkoski (ankle), Patrick Onwuasor (hamstring) and Carl Nassib (knee) also out for this contest, the Raiders could be in big trouble against the high-powered Chiefs offense. Marquel Lee and Divine Deablo will both have increased playing time with Perryman out.

  • Doubtful for Sunday

    Perryman (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday against the Chiefs, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Perryman suffered the injury Sunday against Washington and has yet to practice this week. With Nick Kwiatkoski (ankle) placed on IR on Wednesday, the Raiders could be very thin at linebacker. If Perryman misses, Marquel Lee and Divine Deablo would likely see significant increases in opportunity.

  • Suffers ankle injury Sunday

    Perryman sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's game versus Washington.

    Analysis: At the time of his departure in the fourth quarter, Perryman had 11 tackles, marking the 10th time in 12 games that he's reached double digits this season. With Nick Kwiatkoski already ruled out of this contest with an ankle issue of his own, the Raiders likely will turn to K.J. Wright at linebacker next to Cory Littleton.

  • Tallies 10 stops

    Perryman recorded 10 tackles and one pass defended in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Perryman paced the Raiders with 10 tackles and has failed to reach double-digits stops only once this season. Unsurprisingly, he leads the team with 91 tackles, already a career-high mark.

  • Racks up eight tackles

    Perryman recorded eight tackles (six solo) and one tackle for a loss in Sunday's 33-22 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Perryman's effort was actually his lowest number of tackles in a game this season, an indication of how consistent he has been through seven matchups. He has been on the field for 80 percent or more of the team's defensive snaps in five consecutive contests and leads Las Vegas in stops on the campaign.

  • Another double-digit tackling day

    Perryman managed 11 tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 34-24 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Perryman has yet to record a game with less than double-digit tackles this season. The veteran linebacker hasn't racked up any IDP-relevant stats, aside from two forced fumbles, but his floor as a run stopper alone puts him on the radar as a weekly fantasy option.

  • Makes 12 tackles in Week 5

    Perryman made 12 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 20-9 loss to the Bears.

  • Tacks on 14 tackles

    Perryman posted 14 tackles (10 solo) in Sunday's 31-28 overtime win against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Perryman has been nothing but dominant during his time in Las Vegas, producing double-digit tackles every game for a total of 36 so far. He has never held down a starting job before, but it looks like he'll maintain it given his performance. Fantasy managers should feel confident starting Perryman until proven otherwise.

  • Racks up 12 stops

    Perryman posted 12 tackles (six solo) in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Perryman was traded to the Raiders right before Week 1, and now he ranks third in the league with 22 tackles through two games. He's a must-add wherever he's available for IDP purposes, as he could hang onto this job even when Nick Kwiatkoski (concussion) returns.

  • Impresses as starter

    Perryman posted 10 tackles (five solo) and a fumble recovery in Monday's 33-27 overtime win against the Ravens.

    Analysis: Perryman quickly won the starting middle linebacker role after being traded from Carolina to Las Vegas, and he led the team in tackles during his Raiders debut. The 28-year-old is worth keeping an eye on in IDP leagues; he may have sustained upside all year.

  • Good to go for Week 1

    Perryman (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Perryman was battling an undisclosed injury when he was traded from Carolina to Las Vegas, but he's back at full health. The 28-year-old could start at middle linebacker in Monday's season opener against the Ravens, though Nick Kwiatkoski is in the mix as well.

  • Dealt to Vegas

    The Panthers traded Perryman (undisclosed) and their 2022 seventh-round pick to the Raiders on Wednesday in exchange for their 2022 sixth-rounder, Darin Gantt of Carolina's official website reports.

    Analysis: The trade will be made official once Perryman passes a physical. He has been sidelined with both hip flexor and foot issues during camp. The veteran linebacker joined Carolina during the offseason after six years with the Chargers. He will now reunite with defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, who coached him on the Bolts.

  • Still sidelined with injury

    Coach Matt Rhule said Monday that Perryman (undisclosed) isn't yet ready to retake the practice field, Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Rhule said Perryman's recovery isn't progressing as quickly as hoped. Per Will Palasczuk of Sports Radio WFNZ, Perryman is dealing with a strain of some sort. The veteran linebacker will work to get healthy in time for Carolina's preseason opener against Indianapolis on Aug. 15.

  • Heading to Carolina

    Perryman agreed Wednesday with the Panthers on a two-year contract, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman lost his hold on the Chargers' starting middle linebacker job last season, but he should find more opportunities in Carolina. Still, Perryman's history of health concerns makes it difficult to trust him too much for fantasy purposes. The 28-year-old failed to play a full 16-game slate even once across six seasons with the Chargers, and he's missed a combined 21 contests over the last four years.

  • Displaced as starter

    Perryman recorded seven tackles in the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Chiefs. He finished the season with 48 tackles and one forced fumble across 13 games.

    Analysis: It looked as if the long-time Chargers starting middle linebacker had finally been ushered out of the role after the team traded up into the first round to acquire Kenneth Murray this past offseason, and that mostly held true until Kyzir White was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list in Week 13. The Chargers proceeded to be gashed by the running game, allowing 100 yards or more in three of the final four games excluding the meaningless Week 17 matchup with the Chiefs.

  • In the clear for Week 16

    Perryman (back) is listed as active heading into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Perryman was able to practice without restrictions during the week, so it's no great surprise the linebacker will make his return to the lineup Week 16. The 28-year-old hasn't been able to suit up since Nov. 29, though he was never moved to injured reserve with his back issue. Now active, Perryman is slated to supplant Nick Vigil at the middle linebacker spot for Los Angeles.

  • Carries questionable tag

    Perryman (back) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Broncos.

    Analysis: After missing the last three games, Perryman practiced without limitations all week. Nevertheless, he'll be monitored for a setback over the weekend leading up to Sunday's contest. He's undoubtedly trending in the right direction and should return to the starting middle linebacker role if he's given the green light. Perryman has posted 34 tackles, a sack and a pass breakup over 11 games this season.

  • Logs full practice session

    Perryman (back) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

    Analysis: Perryman received his third and fourth starts of the 2020 campaign in consecutive appearances Weeks 11 and 12, after being inserted into a starting role just twice over his first nine appearances of the season. The 28-year-old has since proceeded to miss three consecutive games with a back injury, but he's now trending toward a Week 16 return for a home matchup against Denver.

  • Inactive as expected

    Perryman (back) is officially inactive for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Perryman came into the game drawing a doubtful tag after missing practice throughout the week, so this news isn't surprising. Perryman will miss his third straight game with the back issue. In his stead, Nick Vigil will continue to draw the start at middle linebacker for Thursday's game.

  • Trending in wrong direction

    Perryman (back) is doubtful to play in Thursday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Perryman has missed the past two games with the back issue and appears in line to miss his third consecutive contest. To make matters worse, the veteran didn't suit up in any practice this week, casting serious doubt on his status. In Perryman's pending absence Nick Vigil is again expected to start at middle linebacker.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old will be sidelined for the second consecutive game as he recovers from the back injury. Nick Vigil is poised for another start at middle linebacker in Perryman's absence.

  • Unlikely to play Sunday

    Perryman (back) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game versus Falcons.

    Analysis: Perryman is expected to miss a second straight game, affording Nick Vigil another start at middle linebacker. However, Perryman did practice in a limited fashion for the final two sessions of the week, providing a chance to return for next Thursday's game against the Falcons.

  • Not playing Sunday

    Perryman (back) is inactive for Sunday's game against New England.

    Analysis: Perryman was considered doubtful with the back injury, so it's no surprise to see he's unavailable Sunday. Nick Vigil is expected to receive the start at middle linebacker in his place.

  • Unlikely to face Patriots

    Perryman (back) is doubtful for Sunday's game versus the Patriots.

    Analysis: While X-rays on Monday didn't reveal any significant damage, Perryman was unable to practice this week and likely will miss his first game this season. Nick Vigil should start at middle linebacker in his place. The Chargers will need to elevate players from the practice squad to add depth to the second level.

  • Encouraging injury news

    The X-rays on Perryman's back came back negative, signaling that his injury isn't too serious, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman exited this past Sunday's loss to the Bills, but the team isn't too concerned about his status moving forward. If he is forced to miss any time, Nick Vigil likely would step into the No. 1 middle linebacker role.

  • Suffers back injury Week 12

    Perryman (back) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup against the Bills.

    Analysis: Perryman exited in the first half Sunday, moving Nick Vigil into the No. 1 middle linebacker spot for the time being. The 27-year-old notched his first sack of 2020 last Sunday against the Jets, and he had recorded three tackles prior to his Week 12 exit.

  • No longer starter

    Perryman has been passed over in the starting lineup by Drue Tranquill and Kenneth Murray, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Tranquill's versatility in coverage always made him a better ideal outside linebacker compared to Perryman. Murray's status as a first-round pick hinted at the possibility of the veteran linebacker moving to a depth role, but at least during the early stages of training camp Perryman was acting as the No. 1 middle linebacker. Evidently, the Chargers were simply taking it easy with Murray, their 2020 first-round pick, particularly with Murray still recovering from a hamstring injury that forced…read more

  • Uneasy run at linebacker

    Perryman posted 68 tackles (50 solo), one interception and one forced fumble over 14 games during the 2019 season.

    Analysis: It was the first time since Perryman's rookie campaign the linebacker played in 14 or more games. However, the 27-year-old was essentially a two-down player for much of the season, playing the fewest snaps per game of his career. With the emergence of Kyzir White and Drue Tranquill in the second half and the expected return of veteran Thomas Davis, it's entirely possible Perryman could become a cap casualty after signing a two-year deal last offseason. Even still, the once promising linebacker…read more

  • Clear for Week 15

    Perryman won't face additional discipline from the team and will be able to play Sunday against the Vikings, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Perryman was a late scratch for Week 14 in Jacksonville due to non-injury reasons, as he apparently missed a team meeting and was sent home by coach Anthony Lynn, per Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com. The 27-year-old logged only 36 combined snaps in the previous two games, so there's no guarantee he plays a significant defensive role down the stretch.

    Perryman has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Jacksonville for non-injury reasons, Gilbert Manzano of The Orange County Register reports.

    Analysis: Perry and Roderic Teamer were both ruled out for non-injury reasons, but the specifics of the situation remain unclear. Kyzir White figures to see an increased snap share on defense Sunday.

  • Gets third career interception

    Perryman picked up four tackles (three solo) and snared an interception in the 23-20 loss Sunday to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The Chargers ultimately wasted Perryman's third career interception, as the offense failed to move the ball more than a yard and settled for a long field goal that deflected off the left upright. The soon-to-be 27-year-old has been a nonfactor following the offseason signing of Thomas Davis, recording just 49 tackles through nine games.

  • Active for TNF

    Perryman (knee) is active for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Perryman couldn't finish Sunday's win over the Packers and didn't practice all week, but he shook off the injury in time to take the field Thursday. This will be Perryman's 10th game of the season, marking his highest game total since the 2016 campaign. Over the past seven games, the 26-year-old has averaged 5.4 stops, and he could have a busy night considering rookie Josh Jacobs has exceeded 20 carries in three of his last four outings.

  • Status uncertain for TNF

    Perryman (knee) is questionable for Thursday's game against the Raiders.

    Analysis: Perryman hurt his knee during this past Sunday's win over the Packers and was unable to practice all week. He appears to be a true game-time decision against a threatening Raiders run game that features rookie Josh Jacobs. If Perryman is unable to play, Drue Tranquill figures to start at middle linebacker with Kyzir White experiencing an increase in his reserve role.

  • Dealing with knee issue

    Perryman exited Sunday's 26-11 win over the Packers with a right knee injury and didn't return, Eric D. Williams of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perryman only played 25 of a possible 54 defensive snaps as a result, but he still managed to lead the team with five tackles. He'll need to make a quick recovery to suit up in Thursday's matchup against the Raiders. If he's unable to go, Drue Tranquill figures to be the main beneficiary while Kyzir White should log a respectable snap count.
