Overview

  • Hearing officer Jordy Nelson denied Perryman’s appeal, making the suspension final through the end of the regular season.
  • He will miss the Texans in Week 17 and the Broncos in Week 18 and is eligible to return to the roster on Jan. 5.
  • The NFL cited Rule 12, Section 2, Article 10(b) and pointed to the helmet-to-helmet hit on Flournoy, noting Perryman’s repeat-offender status.
  • The discipline is without pay, and Perryman’s history includes a 2023 suspension and multiple fines for impermissible use of the helmet.
  • The Chargers have clinched a playoff berth and plan to lean on Troy Dye and other linebackers as they pursue the AFC West title.
