Troy Dye collided with Mack during the play that resulted in Mack’s injury; Dye is part of LA’s defensive rotation.

Troy Dye, Chargers linebacker, was on the field in the sequence that led to Mack’s elbow injury.

Dye logged meaningful reps in Week 1 as Perryman left with an ankle injury, testing his ability to anchor the Chargers middle. His role is central to any immediate depth chart adjustments, with Phillips and Wax also in the mix for more snaps.

Dye delivered a decisive 4th-down stop at the goal line in Chargers’ action, reinforcing his value as a special-teams-and-depth-linebacker with a path to more regular-season opportunities if he capitalizes on limited reps.

Troy Dye's re-signing adds depth and versatility to the Chargers' linebacker position, complementing Denzel Perryman's style.
