Both Perryman and Teamer were not listed on the injury report this past week. It remains to be seen why the team decided to downgrade the two less than 24 hours from kickoff.
It’s possible that it could be a disciplinary action.
Perryman has been a key piece to the Chargers run defense, totaling 49 tackles, four tackles for loss and one forced fumble.
Teamer was a valuable asset while safeties Derwin James and Adrian Phillips were overcoming their perspective injuries. He has 40 tackles, an interception and a sack.
With Perryman out, rookie Drue Tranquill will likely take over as the team’s starting middle linebacker on Sunday.
