Troy Dye: Everything you need to know

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. 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.

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

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