The NFL referenced this hit in the 2Q yesterday. Perryman was flagged for unnecessary roughness. Perryman can appeal the suspension.

Looks like another day off from throwing for #Chargers QB Justin Herbert. Herbert said last week that he would be taking a day off weekly at least through the spring. Rest for the arm and extra focus on footwork.

It was impossible for the #Chargers to plan for losing two All-Pro-caliber tackles. It was possible for them to more aggressively improve their IOL. This is from April 26 at
