Dye (hip) is active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Dye was working through a hip issue during Week 15 prep, but he's been cleared to play Sunday after going through pregame warmups. The sixth-year linebacker has 51 tackles (24 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery through 12 regular-season games.

Dye (hip) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Chiefs, Eric Smith of the Chargers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran linebacker from Oregon opened the Chargers' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, but following Friday's limited session, he's got a chance to play Sunday. Dye has appeared in 12 games for Los Angeles this season, recording 51 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed. If he's sidelined in Week 15, Del'Shawn Phillips would likely operate as the Chargers' top reserve inside linebacker.

Dye recorded one tackle during Thursday's 37-10 win versus the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

Dye was a tackling machine during fellow linebacker Denzel Perryman's five-game absence with an ankle injury, but Dye played only 24 of the Chargers' 49 defensive snaps in Week 8, signaling his role may have shrunk with Perryman's return. He's probably not a strong IDP consideration in most leagues for a Week 9 matchup at Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Dye was unable to play against the Colts in Week 7 due to a thumb injury, but the 2020 fourth-rounder has been cleared to play Thursday after logging three consecutive practice sessions. Dye's return gives the Chargers additional depth at inside linebacker alongside Marlowe Wax and behind starters Daiyan Henley and Denzel Perryman.

EDGE Analysis

Dye logged his third consecutive limited practice session of Week 8 on Wednesday, and he had been unable to practice in any capacity prior to being ruled out for Los Angeles' loss to the Colts in Week 7. That bodes well for his odds of being cleared to suit up Thursday, though the final word on Dye's status may not arrive until 90 minutes prior to the game's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Dye (thumb) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Dye missed this past Sunday's loss to the Colts due to a thumb issue after being unable to practice all last week. It's promising that he was deemed limited on Monday's practice estimation this week and was then able to practice in a limited fashion Tuesday, though his status is still uncertain for Thursday's matchup against Minnesota. If Dye is able to play against the Vikings, he'll likely be used in a rotational role now that Denzel Perryman is back in action.

EDGE Analysis

Dye was inactive for Sunday's loss to the Colts after not practicing at all last week. It was his first missed contest of the season. With Dye out against Indianapolis, Daiyan Henley and Denzel Perryman handled the bulk of the linebacker snaps for Los Angeles.

EDGE Analysis

Dye was unable to practice all week due to a thumb injury, which is severe enough for him to miss his first game of the season. Dye has started in each of the Chargers' last five games, but the team will get a much-needed boost at inside linebacker with the return of veteran Denzel Perryman.

EDGE Analysis

Despite not practicing all week due to a thumb injury, Dye still has a chance at suiting up for Sunday's home contest. If Dye ends up being ruled out, Marlowe Wax and Del'Shawn Phillips -- both of whom have been primarily used on special teams -- would be candidates to see more snaps at inside linebacker alongside Daiyan Henley.

Dye (thumb) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Dye logged a fairly typical 68 percent of defensive snaps in Sunday's win over Miami, so it's unclear when the injury occurred. The severity of the issue is unclear, but his participation in practice the rest of the week should make his status for Week 7 against the Colts clearer.
