Is Denzel Perryman still the Chargers’ “hammer”?

Entering half a decade as the Chargers’ starting middle linebacker this year, Denzel Perryman was seen playing into the 4th quarter of the preseason Sunday, when, traditionally, most starters are off the field long before halftime.

Anthony Lynn silenced talk about a potential slide down the depth chart.

Anthony Lynn on Denzel Perryman playing in the second half with the younger players: "Denzel coming off that injury is a little rusty. Just trying to get him more reps. Get him caught up. So he can get back to being Denzel."

Perryman is coming back from an injury to his LCL which he sustained just past the midway point of last season.
