The Los Angeles Chargers are placing linebacker Denzel Perryman on injured reserve with an ankle injury, a source confirmed to ESPN 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.
NFL Network was first to report the news.
Without Perryman, linebacker Troy Dye will likely assume the starting role.
