Lands in Chicago Perriman agreed Wednesday with the Bears on a one-year contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact The division-rival Lions released Perriman a day earlier, opting instead for the likes of Kalif Raymond, Trinity Benson, Tom Kennedy and KhaDarel Hodge to fill out their depth chart at receiver. Being cut by Detroit wasn't a great sign for Perriman's NFL future, but it's worth noting that the Lions are in Year 1 of a rebuild, whereas Bears head coach Matt Nagy is arguably facing a make-or-break season. Perriman could now challenge Marquise Goodwin for the No. 3 receiver spot in Chicago.

Let go by Lions The Lions will release Perriman on Monday, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact Perriman was a free-agent acquisition who seemed destined for a key role with the Lions, but after missing time in training camp with a hip injury and making a limited impact in the preseason, he'll look to catch on elsewhere. With Perriman no longer in the mix, Tyrell Williams, Quintez Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Kalif Raymond now look poised to lead the team's wideout corps, with the likes of Geronimo Allison, Tom Kennedy, Victor Bolden and Javon McKinley battling for depth slotting.

One catch Friday Perriman caught one of three targets for six yards in Friday's preseason loss to the Colts.

Impact The 27-year-old made his first grab in a Detroit uniform early in the first quarter with Tim Boyle (thumb) under center, before a couple misfires once David Blough took over. Perriman is headed for a starting role Week 1 against San Francisco, but the 2015 first-round pick is on his fifth team in six years for a reason, having never caught more than 36 passes or amassed more than 645 receiving yards in a season.

Catchless in Lions debut Perriman was targeted twice but did not record a catch during Saturday's 26-20 preseason loss to Pittsburgh.

Impact Perriman actually had three targets but was called for offensive pass interference on a 27-yard gain. Regardless, the 26-year-old at least looked healthy after missing a significant portion of training camp plus the preseason opener due to a hip injury. While his preseason is probably over if we can assume that all of Detroit's starters will be rested during the exhibition finale next Friday against Indianapolis, Perriman seems ready to go for Week 1 of the regular season.

Still slated for starting role Despite missing part of training camp and the preseason opener due to injury, Perriman (hip) is still expected to handle a starting role opposite Tyrell Williams, Kyle Meinke of ML...

Impact With Amon-Ra St. Brown the favorite to handle slot duties, there aren't any serious contenders for Perriman's job on the perimeter anyway, especially with Quintez Cephus (head) missing significant time as well. While it's not clear when Perriman will return to the field, he at least dressed for last week's preseason game against the Bills, per Chris Burke of The Athletic.

Misses practice Saturday Perriman (hip) did not practice Saturday, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.

Impact Tyrell Williams (groin) and Quintez Cephus (head) also did not practice, so it could be as simple as the Lions choosing to play it safe with three of their top pass catchers. Perriman's lackluster training camp might be of bigger concern than any sort of lingering injury, although considering the 27-year-old's lengthy injury history, any sort of issue -- no matter how small -- is worth noting.

Suboptimal offseason showing Perriman has been less consistent than Tyrell Williams in spring practices, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Impact While it's too early in the offseason to come to hard conclusions, Perriman seems no higher than No. 2 on the depth chart entering training camp. A few young receivers on the depth chart below him, namely fourth-round rookie Amon-Ra St. Brown and the second-year Quintez Cephus, seem to be making a push for higher slotting as well. However, at 6-foot-2 with blazing 4.24 speed, Perriman certainly has physical tools that no other wideout on the team, besides Williams, can approach. Should Perriman stay healthy this summer, it would be a surprise if he fell any lower on the depth chart.

Links up with Lions The Lions and Perriman agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Like father, like son. Upon joining the fifth team of his career, Perriman will move on to Detroit, where his father Brett spent most of his 10-year career. The younger Perriman has found life as a deep threat the past three seasons, ripping off 18.2 YPC and 11 touchdowns on his 82 receptions. There's a clear opening in the Lions' passing attack with all of Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola moving on, so Perriman should be a regular target of Jared Goff in 2021.
