The Los Angeles Chargers can’t seem ever to catch a break. While Anthony Lynn’s offense is thriving under a rejuvenated Philip Rivers, the defense just hasn’t been able to remain at the same level. Sure, the unit is playing well throughout their six-game win streak, but injuries have been a major concern all season for the Bolts and their long-term success.
Monday’s news of the season-ending injury to linebacker Denzel Perryman hasn’t helped change the narrative of what the Chargers defense has probably heard all season. While Perryman’s 51-tackle season might not have been what many fans were hoping for from a player entering a contract year, his leadership skills and knowledge of the defense will be sorely missed.
