The Los Angeles Chargers placed starting linebacker Denzel Perryman on injured reserve with an ankle injury on Monday.
Perryman will miss at least the next four games after suffering the injury in the Week 1 victory against the Kansas City Chiefs. He missed all of the Chargers' practices leading up to the matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday night.
Without Perryman, linebacker Troy Dye will likely assume the starting role. In his sixth season, Dye has never been a full-time starter but does have 13 career starts.
