Perryman (groin) is listed as doubtful ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs.
The veteran linebacker returned to practice in a limited fashion this week after sustaining a groin injury in the Chargers' Week 11 win over the Bengals, but his doubtful designation implies that he'll likely miss his third consecutive game Sunday. With Perryman expected to be sidelined in Week 14, Troy Dye or Nick Niemann will likely serve as one of the Chargers' starting inside linebackers.

Rotowire
Perryman (groin) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
Perryman has missed Los Angeles' past two games with the injury, but starting the practice week with a limited session gives the veteran linebacker a chance to be ready for Sunday against Kansas City.

Perryman (toe) didn't practice Wednesday.
Perryman was able to suit up for the Chargers' Week 9 win over the Browns after logging a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice that week, so Wednesday's DNP is likely precautionary.

Chargers' Denzel Perryman: Set to suit up Sunday
Rotowire
Perryman (toe) is active for Sunday's Week 9 clash against Cleveland.
Perryman logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice this week, but that will be enough for him to be able to take the field Sunday. The veteran linebacker played through his toe injury last Sunday versus the Saints as well but logged a season-low 35 percent of Los Angeles' defensive snaps, so it's possible he's on a reduced snap count against the Browns again this weekend.

Texans' Denzel Perryman: Handed down suspension
Rotowire
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.
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. Perryman can appeal the suspension, but it's not yet known if he will. While the 30-year-old is out of action, Henry To'oTo'o, Christian Harris and Blake Cashman should be the Texans' primary options at linebacker.
