Chargers place LB Denzel Perryman on IR, elevate 2 players for MNF

Ahead of Monday night’s primetime matchup with the Raiders, the Chargers are making a handful of roster moves.

First, the Chargers are placing linebacker Denzel Perryman on IR with a designation to return. He’ll miss a minimum of four games before he can return to the field.

I don’t recall the last time that has happened in this division, but either way, a two game lead over KC — at any point — is something to fight and claw for.

With the Broncos also losing to the surprising Colts, the loser will still be...

Chargers-Raiders Friday Injury Report: Elijah Molden DNP

The Friday injury report for the Chargers saw some movement from Thursday’s edition with three players recording a new status following the team’s latest practice.

Safety Elijah Molden went from limited on Thursday to a non-participant on Friday with a hamstring injury he sustained against the Chiefs in Brazil. That’s not a great sign to see him take a step back, but we’ll have to wait and see his status later today to get a better picture of his injury severity.

The other two changes were to linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips and cornerback Tarheeb Still, both of whom fortunately took a...
