SAMAJE PERINE NEWS

Appears poised for another start Perine is tentatively on track to serve as Cincinnati's lead back for Sunday's game against the Chiefs with Joe Mixon listed as questionable but not expected to clear the NFL's fiv...

Impact Mixon still has a few more hours to potentially gain clearance from an independent neurologist, but after he was able to practice only on a limited basis this week, the Bengals may not be keen on handing him his typical workload even if he defies the odds and plays Sunday. With that in mind, Perine looks in store for a three-down role for the second game in a row, after he played 80 percent of the snaps on offense in last week's 20-16 win over the Titans. Perine carried a season-high 17 times for 58 yards and a touchdown in the win and hauled in four of his seven targets for 35 yards.

Carries load for Bengals Perine had 17 carries for 58 yards and a touchdown, along with four catches for 35 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans.

Impact Perine's yards per carry (3.4) aren't very impressive, but he earned some very tough first downs in short-yardage situations and got stronger as the game progressed. He's unlikely to supplant Joe Mixon (concussion) when Mixon is ready to return, but he'll continue to earn opportunities to spell him at times.

Set for expanded role Sunday Perine is poised to serve as the Bengals' starting running back Sunday against the Titans with Joe Mixon (concussion) ruled out for the contest, James Rapien of SI.com reports.

Impact Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site adds that Chris Evans and Trayveon Williams are candidates to see expanded roles with Mixon out of the lineup, but Perine profiles as the top option to replace Mixon as the team's lead man out of the backfield. Sunday, After Mixon's early exit in the Bengals' 37-30 win over the Steelers in Week 11, Perine recorded 11 carries for 30 yards and caught all four of his targets for 52 yards and three touchdowns.

Three receiving touchdowns Perine came up big in relief of an injured Joe Mixon on Sunday, catching four passes for 52 yards and three touchdowns and logging 11 carries for 30 yards.

Impact Mixon left late in the first half with a concussion, and Perine took over the majority of the running back duties. Trayveon Williams also chipped in with two late carries. If Mixon can't return next week, Perine will be a priority pickup, albeit with a tough matchup on the road against the Titans.

More work in blowout win Perine had six carries for 51 yards and one catch for three more yards in Sunday's romp over Carolina.

Impact Perine was able to play 25 offensive snaps, with Joe Mixon resting after scoring a whopping five times. The Bengals rested most of their offensive starters with a little under 4:00 remaining in the third quarter.

Barely involved against Falcons Perine had just one carry for zero yards and two catches for eight yards in Sunday's win over the Falcons.

Impact Once again, Joe Mixon handled the lion's share of the offensive snaps and the carries for the Bengals. Perine has just seven touches combined over the last two weeks.

Minimal involvement in win Perine had two carries for five yards and caught both of his targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 30-26 win over the Saints.

Impact Perine played just 14 of the Bengals' 57 offensive snaps while starting running back Joe Mixon was on the field for 41 snaps. Though Cincinnati has struggled on the ground this season, the team is committed to giving Mixon the opportunity to get going. For that reason, Perine will likely continue to see limited action in relief of Mixon. The 27-year-old Perine will look to make the most of his touches when the Bengals host the Falcons in Week 7.

Good to go Week 6 Perine (abdomen) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New Orleans.

Impact As usual, Perine is on track to handle No. 2 duties out of the backfield behind three-down workhorse Joe Mixon. The role hasn't translated to much playing time or consistent touches for Perine, who is averaging just three carries and two receptions per game and hasn't seen the field for more than one-third of the snaps on offense in any of the Bengals' first five contests.

OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited with abdomen injury Perine was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to an abdomen injury, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Impact Perine filled his usual role in the Week 5 loss to Baltimore, taking seven touches for 56 yards while playing 17 snaps off the bench behind Joe Mixon. His ability to practice in any capacity at the beginning of the week suggests Perine should be ready for a similar role this Sunday in New Orleans. If not, the Bengals can turn to Chris Evans to sub in for Mixon on third downs and give him the occasional breather on early downs.
