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.

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 (elbow) has been ruled out for the rest of Saturday's wild-card game against the Texans. Perryman injured his left elbow in the first quarter of Saturday's game. The injury is severe enough for Perryman to not return for the final five minutes of the fourth quarter. Troy Dye will remain at middle linebacker.
Perryman (elbow) is questionable to return to Saturday's game against the Texans. Perryman injured his left elbow while making a tackle on Joe Mixon in the first quarter of Saturday's game. He was briefly checked on by trainers on the sidelines before heading to the locker room for further evaluation. Troy Dye will fill in at inside linebacker for as long as Perryman is out of the game.
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) practiced in full Thursday and is officially listed as questionable for Saturday's road wild-card game against the Texans. Perryman began his practice with as a limited participant but has now logged back-to-back full sessions. The standout linebacker misses six of the Chargers' final seven regular-season games. Official word on his status for Saturday's wild-card round matchup will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to the game's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
Perryman (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. Perryman was sidelined for six of the Chargers' last seven games of the regular season due to a groin injury, but his full participation in Wednesday's practice indicates that he is trending towards playing in Saturday's AFC wild-card clash against the Texans. In the 10 games prior to his injury, Perryman logged 54 tackles (38 solo), including 1.0 sacks.
Perryman (groin) was a limited practice participant Tuesday, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports. Perryman is attempting to improve enough from his groin issue to suit up in Saturday's AFC wild-card game against Houston. The veteran linebacker missed six of the Chargers' final seven regular-season contests -- including the last two -- due to the injury. Troy Dye has been logging most of Perryman's vacated defensive snaps while the latter has been sidelined.
Perryman (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup versus the Raiders, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. 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.
Perryman (groin) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Raiders. 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.
