Denzel Perryman thought he was going to walk the injury off but the next day his MRI showed he torn his LCL as well as his hamstring. The Chargers would have a tough time without Perryman after the season ending injury. After the week 9 game with the Oakland Raiders Perryman was ordered to two months of bed rest. He’s since returned to resistance training and plans to come back stronger than ever before. His two year extension should treat him well.
Key Takeaways:
- Perryman was ordered on bed rest for two months post-surgery, but he did everything in his power to help keep the Chargers defense strong from the sidelines.
- Ever since Perryman’s been cleared to put pressure on his left leg, he’s been getting after it. As he’s returned to resistance training, he’s altered his routine from previous years.
- When the Chargers offered Perryman a two-year, $12 million extension in early March, he was overcome with emotion.
“”It was a contract year, I was playing pretty well, then that happened,” Perryman told STACK. He may measure in at just 5-foot-11, but Perryman is one of the league’s elite run defenders. His absence left a gaping void in the heart of the Chargers defense.”
