Perry (head) was placed on injured reserve Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Following his clearance of waivers, Perry promptly was reverted to injured reserve. The second-year vet has a ways to go before he can shed any kind of fantasy impact on the field.

Perry (head) was waived/injured on Saturday, ESPN's Eric D. Williams reports.
EDGE Analysis
Given Perry was a fourth-round pick by the Chargers in 2016, it's a bit of a surprise to see the former Ohio State prospect wind up in free agency. However that likely suggests the gravity of Perry's head injury, which he suffered during the team's final preseason contest, could be worse than originally predicted. He should revert to injured reserve should he pass through waivers.

Perry injured his head during Thursday's preseason loss to the 49ers, the team's official Twitter account reports.

The Chargers selected Perry in the fourth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, 102nd overall.
EDGE Analysis
Perry figures to play at inside linebacker for San Diego, backing up Denzel Perryman and Manti Te'o, but he has the size and athleticism to see some outside work in a 3-4, too. Perry should provide swing backup linebacker ability and provide San Diego with a valuable game day piece, even if he isn't a starter in the short term.
