Denzel Perryman

Chargers officially activate Denzel Perryman (ankle)

Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman (ankle) has been activated from injured reserve.

What It Means:

Perryman has been out since injuring his ankle in the Chargers' preseason opener. He's expected to make his 2017 debut on Sunday and will be a welcome addition against Leonard Fournette and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Los Angeles has surrendered the second-most rushing yards in the NFL this season.

Perryman racked up 138 tackles (25 assists) with 2 pass deflections, 1 interception, and 1 forced fumble in 26 games during his first two NFL campaigns. He joins a Chargers team that ranks 17th in Adjusted Defensive Net Expected Points (NEP) allowed per play, but a poor 31st in Adjusted Rushing Defensive NEP allowed per play.
