COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Winner of six straight games, the Los Angeles Chargers got some bad news on Monday with linebacker Denzel Perryman out for the season due to a left knee injury that will require surgery.
Chargers head coach Anthony Lynn confirmed an earlier report by the NFL Network that Perryman suffered an LCL knee injury on the second play of the game in a 20-6 win over the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
"It's definitely a big blow to our defense," Lynn said.
The Miami product has been a productive player for the Chargers this year.
