SAMAJE PERINE NEWS

Busy when on field Perine had three carries for 17 yards and another four catches for 39 yards in Sunday night's loss to the Ravens.

Impact Perine played only 17 offensive snaps, so he was fairly active for those snaps. The Bengals did a better job of getting Joe Mixon going last week, so this sort of playing time ratio is likely to continue for Perine.

Notches first 2022 touchdown Perine scored the Bengals' initial touchdown in their win over the Jets on Sunday on a pass in the red zone, and ended up with a combined 61 yards rushing and receiving.

Impact Perine got the bulk of his carries late, but ended up rushing nine times for 47 yards to go along with his two catches for 14 yards. He was more effective running the ball than teammate Joe Mixon, albeit he had the benefit of getting most of his work against a tired opponent.

Limited to third down duty Perine had one carry for four yards and three catches for 33 yards in the Bengals' overtime loss to the Steelers in Week 1.

Impact Perine essentially was the third down back for the Bengals, with Joe Mixon shouldering a workhorse role. Perine had 23 offensive snaps, at least remaining pat as the primary backup ahead of Chris Evans.

Not in line to play Sunday Perine isn't expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Giants, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact With top back Joe Mixon also not in line to play Sunday, Conway indicates that Chris Evans is a candidate to see his share of snaps against the Giants. As Week 1 approaches, Perine profiles as Mixon's top backup.

Impresses at training camp Perine has been "all over the field making plays" in training camp, according to Jay Morrison and Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.

Impact While Perine is no threat to supplant top back Joe Mixon, he's looking to cement the No. 2 slot in the Bengals' backfield and at this stage it appears as though he has a solid chance to hold off 2021 sixth-rounder Chris Evans on that front. Though neither Perine or Evans profile as reliable fantasy lineup options when Mixon is healthy, if Cincinnati's top back misses time this season, Perine figures to absorb a good chunk of the the team's early-down work, with Evans factoring in as a pass-catcher.

Impact With that in mind, coach Zac Taylor recently noted that "(Perine's) certainly got a leg up right now in that battle, but that's what training camp is for. Plenty of times, guys step up and have huge growth. We'll see where it goes." Either way, Evans -- a 2021 sixth-rounder -- has a chance to factor in, particularly in passing situations, but as long as Perine can stay healthy, he'll be in the mix for early-down touches that don't go to Mixon. To that point, it's worth noting that trainers had a look at Perine during practice Tuesday after he came up lame on punt drill, according to Jay Morrison of The Athletic.

All set for training camp Perine (undisclosed) was removed from the active/PUP list and returned to the active roster Wednesday.

Impact Perine is ready to go as the Bengals' training camp gets started Wednesday. He's expected to operate as Joe Mixon's primary backup once again this season, though he will have to compete with Chris Evans for the role.

Lands on PUP list Perine (undisclosed) was placed on the Bengals' active/PUP list Saturday.

Impact Perine can be removed from this list and practice at any point before the regular season, but he will need to first receive a corresponding medical clearance. The running back's addition to this list comes as somewhat of a surprise after he went through voluntary OTAs without any reported injuries. Perine played 16 games as the Bengals' secondary running back behind Joe Mixon last season, recording 442 scrimmage yards and two scores on 82 total touches, but he likely will have to compete with fellow backup Chris Evans to maintain this spot heading into the regular season.

No production in loss Perine had two carries for zero yards and failed to catch his lone target Sunday during 23-20 loss to the Rams in Super Bowl LVI.

Impact Perine played only 13 offensive snaps Sunday, with his most impactful play being a zero-yard run on third down late in the fourth quarter, which helped set up Cincinnati's turnover on downs a play later. The 26-year-old caught three passes for 43 yards and a touchdown during the AFC Championship Game but was unable to replicate that production in the Super Bowl. Perine totaled 55 carries for 246 yards and 27 receptions for 196 yards and two total touchdowns in 16 games during the regular season, and he remains under contract with the Bengals for $1.5 million in 2022.

Finds end zone on long reception Perine recorded three receptions on four targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over Kansas City in the AFC Championship Game.

Impact Perine didn't see a single carry, with Joe Mixon instead seeing all the work out of the backfield on the ground. However, Perine scored on a 41-yard screen pass late in the first half, which began Cincinnati's comeback effort. Perine isn't likely to see a major role in the Super Bowl, but he's flashed effectiveness as a pass catcher at various points throughout the campaign.

One carry against Raiders Perine had one carry for two yards without any targets in the passing game in Saturday's playoff win over the Raiders.

Impact Perine occasionally was in the game on third down for Joe Mixon, but for the most part it was the latter handling the backfield workload. Teammate Chris Evans got as much work as Perine.
