Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Denzel Perryman has been released from jail without facing charges following his arrest with multiple firearms in his possession. The incident occurred during a traffic stop in South Los Angeles on August 1, 2025, when deputies discovered five firearms in his vehicle, including two assault-style rifles.
Perryman, who is 32, was initially booked on felony charges and held without bail over the weekend. However, by Monday, he was released without any charges. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately respond to inquiries.
Perryman, who was drafted by the Chargers in 2015 and returned to the team in 2024, is entering his second stint with the team after re-signing this offseason. His arrest has raised questions about the Chargers’ defensive plans, particularly given his role as a key player on the team. The incident has sparked discussions about firearm possession and law enforcement interactions involving athletes.
