Links back up with Bolts
Perry agreed to sign a one-year, $3 million deal with the Chargers on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Perryman will rejoin the team for which he played during the first six seasons of his career. The 31-year-old popped in his first season after leaving the Chargers, tallying a career-high 154 tackles en route to his first career Pro Bowl campaign with the Raiders in 2021. His production came back down to earth in both of the last two seasons, as he tallied 83 tackles with the Raiders in 2022 before logging 76 tackles with the Texans in 2023. The 5-foot-11 inside linebacker also appeared in just…read more

Ready to go for divisional round
Perryman (ribs) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the Ravens.
Analysis: Perryman suffered an injury to his ribs in the Texans' wild-card round win over the Browns and he was limited at the team's three practices this week, but he appears to be ready to go for the divisional round.

Avoids serious injury
Perryman's rib injury is not considered to be serious and he's expected to return for the divisional round, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Perryman exited the Texans' wild-card win over the Browns with a ribs injury, but it seems as if this issue won't hinder his availability going forward. The 31-year-old linebacker was able to record three total tackles, including one tackle for loss before exiting Saturday's affair and he'll look to add to those totals next weekend.

Analysis: Perryman exited in the second half of the contest, though it's unclear how the injury occurred. The linebacker racked up three tackles early in the first quarter but hadn't posted any more between then and his exit. Neville Hewitt could see more snaps if Perryman is unable to return.

Handed down suspension
Perryman was suspended by the NFL on Tuesday for three games due to repeated violations of playing rules intended to protect the health and safety of players, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Perryman's suspension comes after he lowered his head and delivered a blow to Ja'Marr Chase in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Bengals, which resulted in a flag for unnecessary roughness. Due to having received six violations for this rule in his career, including in Week 2 of this season, Vice President of Football Operations Jon Runyan handed down the suspension.

Productive in return
Perryman registered nine tackles (six solo), including half a sack, in Houston's 15-13 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Perryman missed the team's previous game with a hand injury and was productive in his return, as led the team in tackles while also getting to the quarterback for the first time this season. The 2015 second-round pick now has 30 tackles (18 solo) in four games and will look to add to those totals versus Tampa Bay next week.

Analysis: Perryman returned to the lineup following a two-week absence due to a hand injury. He wore a hand cast, per Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle and played 35 snaps (45 percent), much less usage than Perryman had in Weeks 1 and 2, when he played a combined 112 snaps (98 percent).

Recovering from labrum surgery
Perryman is recovering from offseason labrum surgery and didn't practice Tuesday at OTAs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Perryman recorded 237 tackles over 27 games in two seasons with Las Vegas, but he suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in Week 16 last year. He agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans this offseason and presumably had to pass a physical, but he remains sidelined to start Houston's offseason program. It's unclear when he'll be able to play again, but whenever he's healthy, the veteran linebacker figures to compete for a sizable role in the Texans' defense.

Analysis: Perryman spent the last two seasons with the Raiders and will now make the move to Houston. He finished the 2022 campaign with 83 tackles (54 solo), one sack, two pass breakups and two interceptions in 12 contests.

Heads to IR
Las Vegas placed Perryman (shoulder) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Will be shut down
Perryman (shoulder) won't play during the final two games of the regular season, Jordan Schultz of TheScore.com reports.
Analysis: Perryman dislocated his shoulder in Saturday's loss to Pittsburgh, prompting an early end to his campaign. The linebacker couldn't come close to matching the career-best mark of 154 tackles he posted last season, but he was still leading Las Vegas with 83 stops prior to being shut down. Perryman's starting role could be assumed by Curtis Bolton, who has yet to log a defensive snap in the NFL. Meanwhile, it's likely the Raiders will place Perryman on IR in the coming days.

Likely out for season
Perryman isn't expected to return for the remainder of the season after dislocating his shoulder in Saturday's 13-10 loss to the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Perryman is now anticipated to miss the rest of the season due to the dislocated shoulder he sustained in Week 16 against Pittsburgh. If that's indeed the case, then the veteran linebacker will finish the 2022 campaign with 83 tackles, one sack and two interceptions across 12 games. Curtis Bolton should be in store for additional defensive snaps should Perryman eventually miss time.

Perryman tallied nine tackles (eight solo) in Las Vegas' Week 15 30-24 victory versus New England.
Analysis: Perryman continues to post solid but unspectacular tackle numbers, recording between six and 10 stops in each of the nine games in which he has played since Week 5. While the consistency is nice, the veteran linebacker hasn't come close to the career-best numbers he posted last season, when he finished third in the NFL with a career-high 154 stops.

Analysis: Perryman was limited during each practice Week 15 while dealing with a hip injury. While the exact nature of this issue is still unclear, it won't keep him from suiting up Sunday.

Perryman recorded seven tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 27-20 victory versus the Chargers.
Analysis: Perryman played a season-high 60 defensive snaps after logging back-to-back limited practices with a wrist injury to end Week 13 prep. While this ultimately represented his usual share of playing time, the eighth-year linebacker still finished right on pace with his per-game average for tackles.

Analysis: Perryman played 71 percent of Las Vegas' defensive snaps after sitting out last week's loss to Indianapolis due to a lingering hip injury. The 29-year-old also paced the Raiders' linebackers in stops, tying defensive end Maxx Crosby for the team's second-most tackles against Denver. Perryman has now recorded 24 tackles while playing 140 defensive snaps over his past three games, and he should continue to slot in as one of his team's top tacklers while Divine Deablo (forearm) remains out on IR.

Perryman (hip/ribs) didn't practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Perryman played on 76 percent of the Raiders' defensive snaps Sunday versus Jacksonville, but he apparently hurt his hip and ribs at some point during the loss. The veteran linebacker has been an important cog for Las Vegas of late, notching at least six tackles in each of his past four contests. As such, it would be a big loss for Las Vegas if Perryman is forced to miss any time.

Perryman registered 154 tackles last season, and he could see increased production if he can stay on the field moving forward.

Logs a sack in Week 5
Perryman recorded eight tackles (six solo), including one sack, during Monday's 30-29 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Perryman sacked Patrick Mahomes late in the third quarter of Monday's matchup against Kansas City, giving him his first quarterback takedown of the year. The veteran linebacker played the most snaps (48) he has yet this season in Week 5, and he'll look to take on a similar role in Week 7 against the Texans once the Raiders return from their Week 6 bye.

However, after being a limited participant Thursday, he logged a full practice Friday, putting him in line to suit up Monday against the Chiefs.

Limited Wednesday
Perryman (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Raiders' injury report Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Perryman returned to practice after being listed as a non-participant throughout last week's sessions. The 29-year-old linebacker has been sidelined since suffering an ankle injury in Week 1, leaving fellow starters Jayon Brown and Divine Deablo to pick up the slack for Las Vegas. Perryman led the Raiders with 154 tackles last season, so his potential availability could provide a big boost for the team's defense this Sunday against Houston.

Perryman (ankle) did not practice Friday and is listed as out for Sunday's game at Tennessee, Rachel Gossen of Raiders.com reports.
Analysis: The 2021 Pro Bowler will miss a second consecutive game after injuring his ankle at the Chargers in Week 1. In Perryman's absence, Divine Deablo and Jayon Brown should be in line to do the heavy lifting behind Las Vegas' front four, and the Raiders' defense will probably miss last year's team leader in tackles when Derrick Henry is coming downhill.

Perryman wrapped up his 2021 regular season with a career-high 154 tackles (102 solo), three passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 15 games.
Analysis: Perryman finished the regular season as the Raiders' leading tackler by a fairly wide margin, despite missing Weeks 14 and 15 due to an ankle injury. The 29-year-old, who was traded from Carolina to Las Vegas during the preseason, turned out to be a steal for the Raiders with a minuscule cap hit that fell just shy of $1 million in 2021.

Analysis: Perryman cleared the NFL's reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, but he was still listed as questionable for Week 17 with an ankle injury.

Perryman was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday but is still listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts with an ankle injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

Perryman posted 68 tackles (50 solo), one interception and one forced fumble over 14 games during the 2019 season.
Analysis: It was the first time since Perryman's rookie campaign the linebacker played in 14 or more games. However, the 27-year-old was essentially a two-down player for much of the season, playing the fewest snaps per game of his career.

Perryman picked up four tackles (three solo) and snared an interception in the 23-20 loss Sunday to the Broncos.
Analysis: The Chargers ultimately wasted Perryman's third career interception, as the offense failed to move the ball more than a yard and settled for a long field goal that deflected off the left upright.

Analysis: Perryman only played 25 of a possible 54 defensive snaps as a result, but he still managed to lead the team with five tackles. He'll need to make a quick recovery to suit up in Thursday's matchup against the Raiders. If he's unable to go, Drue Tranquill figures to be the main beneficiary while Kyzir White should log a respectable snap count.
