Denzel Perryman could miss a significant amount of time due to the injury he sustained over the weekend.
The LA Chargers linebacker was carted off the field on Sunday night during his team’s preseason opener. ESPN’s Adam Schefter initially reported on Monday morning that Perryman would miss 4-6 weeks. Now NFL Media’s Ian Rapoport says Perryman will miss at least the first four games with the ankle injury.
