Let go by Pittsburgh
The Steelers cut Perine from the practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Perine caught on with the Steelers' practice squad Oct. 1 after being let go by the Packers on Sept. 10. The 2020 fourth-round pick will explore his options and look to sign with a team in need of running back depth. Perine appeared in five regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2023, accumulating 22 carries for 77 yards and three catches (on five targets) for 33 yards over that span.

Headed to Pittsburgh
The Steelers signed Perine to the practice squad Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Perine inked a one-year deal with the Steelers in May, but he was unable to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He opted to sign with the Packers' practice squad but was let go by Green Bay on Sept. 10. Now in Pittsburgh, Perine adds depth to the Steelers' backfield, and he could be called up for Week 5 against the Cowboys if one or both of Jaylen Warren (knee) or Cordarrelle Patterson (ankle) cannot play.

Loses his spot
Perine was cut from the Packers' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: Perine signed with Green Bay's practice squad Aug. 30 after he was waived by the Steelers during roster cuts. The Florida product has seen action with the Jets in the past and most recently with the Chiefs for five regular-season games in 2023, where he had 77 yards on 22 carries and three receptions for 33 yards.

Joins Packers' practice squad
Perine signed to Green Bay's practice squad Friday.
Analysis: Perine signed a contract with Pittsburgh in May and rushed 16 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, adding one reception for four yards. He was released Tuesday and will now have a chance to earn his way back to the NFL roster with the Packers' practice squad. Perine played in five regular-season games with Kansas City last year, rushing 22 times for 77 yards while catching three of five targets for 33 yards.

Doesn't make roster cut
Perine was released by the Steelers on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Perine appeared in five regular-season games for the Chiefs in 2023, and he played exclusively on special teams in Kansas City's first three playoff games. After being waived May 17, he caught on with the Steelers six days later to compete for the No. 3 running back job behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren (hamstring). Perine wasn't able to show much during his three preseason outings, during which he accrued 16 carries for 46 yards and one touchdown while adding one catch on three targets for…read more

Racks up 10 yards Friday
Perine rushed four times for 10 yards while failing to secure his lone target during Friday's 20-12 preseason loss to the Texans.
Analysis: Perine signed a one-year contract with the Steelers in May, but he wasn't particularly efficient during Friday's preseason opener. It's unclear whether he'll be able to land a spot on the team's 53-man roster this year, but even if he's included on the active roster, he's unlikely to see much regular-season work since the Steelers also have Najee Harris, Jaylen Warren and Cordarrelle Patterson.

Inks deal with Pittsburgh
Perine and the Steelers agreed on a one-year contract Thursday.
Analysis: Perine was waived by Kansas City this past Friday and it took less than a week for him to find a new home in Pittsburgh. The running back compiled 77 rushing yards on 22 carries while also recording three catches for 33 yards over five games with Kansas City in 2023. He'll be in line to operate as a depth option for the Steelers behind Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren if he secures an active roster spot in 2024.

Waived by KC
Perine was waived by the Chiefs on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Kansas City is parting ways with Perine after he rushed for 77 yards on 22 carries while adding three catches for 33 yards in 2023. The 2020 fourth-round draft pick of the Jets spent his first two seasons in New York. Perine will look to latch on with another team prior to training camp.

Gets chance to lead backfield
Perine rushed the ball 21 times for 76 yards in Sunday's 13-12 win over the Chargers. He added three receptions on four targets for 33 yards.
Analysis: Perine got the chance to lead the Kansas City backfield with Isiah Pacheco rested and Clyde Edwards-Helaire used sparingly. He delivered a solid performance, with his longest play of the day going for 25 yards on a reception early in the third quarter. This marked Perine's fifth appearance of the season, though he has played primarily on special teams. If he's active during the Chiefs' postseason run, his role is likely to remain similar.

Signed to KC's active roster
The Chiefs signed Perine to their 53-man roster Sunday.
Analysis: The move comes with Jerick McKinnon being placed on the Chiefs' injured reserve list with a groin injury. Perine joined the team's practice squad Aug. 30 and has been elevated by the team twice this year. He'll take over as the RB3 in the Chiefs' backfield behind Isiah Pacheco and Clyde Edwards-Helaire.

Back to practice squad
Perine reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.
Analysis: Perine saw time on both offense and defense during Kansas City's win over the Raiders on Sunday but failed to record any stats. Though two games played this season, the 25-year-old has carried the ball just once for a one-yard gain and failed to bring in his only target.

Promoted from practice squad
The Chiefs elevated Perine to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: The move comes with Jerick McKinnon ruled out for Sunday's game against the Raiders with a groin injury. This will be the third time that Perine has been called up from the practice squad this season. In his last outing in Week 9 against the Dolphins, Perine played eight snaps (four each on offense and special teams) and gained one yard on one carry.

Reverts to practice squad
The Chiefs reverted Perine to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Perine was elevated for the second time this season ahead of Sunday's Week 9 win over Miami in Germany, and he logged four offensive snaps in that contest, gaining one yard on one rush and failing to bring in his only target. The 25-year-old's opportunity in that game came as a result of Clyde Edwards-Helaire sitting out due to an illness. Kansas City is on bye this week, which could give Edwards-Helaire ample time to recover and thus render Perine's services unnecessary for Week 11.

Elevated Saturday
The Chiefs promoted Perine to their active roster Saturday, Matt Derrick of ChiefsDigest.com reports.
Analysis: Perine has spent the majority of the year on Kansas City's practice squad, but with Clyde Edwards-Helaire (illness) missing this Sunday's contest, Perine has been added to the team's active roster. The 25-year-old running back's last in-game action came in 2021, when he recorded 31 rushing yards in four games with the Jets.

Back on practice squad
Perine reverted to the Chiefs' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Perine was elevated to Kansas City's active roster ahead of Sunday's victory over the Jaguars. His purpose was to serve as insurance in the team's backfield. However, his services were never needed, and he ultimately did not see the field.

Elevated to active roster
Perine was elevated to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday.

Gets practice squad chance
Perine was picked up by the Chiefs' practice squad Wednesday.

Back with KC's practice squad
Perine is signing with Kansas City's practice squad Wednesday, Matt Derrick of Chiefs Digest reports.
Analysis: Kansas City cut Perine on Tuesday while keeping Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire on the roster at running back. Perine made 14 NFL appearances for the Jets between 2020 and 2021 but hasn't played in a regular-season game since.

Does not make team
The Chiefs waived Perine on Tuesday.
Analysis: Perine's only real route to the Chiefs' final 53-man roster was if they opted to go with four running backs, as Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Clyde Edwards-Helaire were already pretty much locked in ahead of him. That scenerio ultimately did not come to fruition, so now Perine will either need to get a practice squad offer or else he will be looking for a new landing spot.

Returning to Kansas City
The Chiefs signed Perine to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Perine didn't actually suit up for a game with Kansas City after signing to the practice squad in late January, but he will get a chance to compete for a role this offseason. The running back was elevated for a game with Miami but didn't handle any snaps, and he also spent time on the Eagles' practice squad early in the 2022 campaign.

Signs with Chiefs' practice squad
Kansas City signed Perine to its practice squad Saturday.
Analysis: Perine did not play in any game during the 2022 regular season, but the Chiefs saw fit to bring him onto their practice squad ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game. As long as Isiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon and Ronald Jones remain healthy though, Perine is a long shot to be elevated.

Back to practice squad Monday
Perine reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
Analysis: Perine was elevated ahead of Sunday's wild-card loss to Buffalo to help provide depth with primary running back Raheem Mostert ruled out due to a broken thumb. While the 24-year-old Perine was active, he never wound up seeing the field behind Jeff Wilson and Salvon Ahmed, as these two were the only Dolphins running backs to log any carries. As a result, Perine failed to appear in a game over the course of a season for the first time in his three-year career.

The Dolphins elevated Perine from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's wild-card contest at Buffalo.
Analysis: The third-year pro has resided on Miami's practice squad since mid-October, but with Raheem Mostert out Sunday due to a broken thumb, the team was in need of reinforcements in the backfield. Jeff Wilson is slated to be the primary runner in place of Mostert, but Perine and Salvon Ahmed will be available for touches if needed.

Released from practice squad
The Eagles released Perine from their practice squad Wednesday.
Analysis: Perine landed a spot on the Eagles' practice squad after being waived by the Jets, who drafted the running back in the fourth round of the 2020 Draft. As a rookie, Perine totaled 75 touches for 295 yards and two scores, but he saw limited action in 2021 and now finds himself as a free agent heading into 2022.

Joins Philly's practice squad
The Eagles signed Perine to their practice squad Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Perine totaled 75 touches for 295 yards and two scores as a rookie in 2020 but was waived by the Jets ahead of Tuesday's 53-man roster deadline. The Eagles have solid running backs with quality NFL experience on the active roster, but the group is only three deep. So, Perine will likely operate as an emergency depth option in case any of the aforementioned backs go down with an injury.

Let go by Jets
The Jets waived Perine on Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The addition of Breece Hall this offseason pushed all the Jets' returning running backs one spot down the depth chart, so Perine was always a long shot to make the team's initial 53-man roster. The 2020 fourth-round pick totaled 75 touches for 295 yards and two scores as a rookie but appeared in just four games last year.

Falls flat in preseason finale
Perine rushed once for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 31-27 preseason win over the Giants.
Analysis: Perine didn't get many opportunities, but he didn't exactly make the most of his final chance to show the coaching staff he belongs on the 53-man roster. The Jets' 2020 fourth-round pick is a long shot to make the team in 2022.

Finds end zone against Falcons
Perine rushed twice for 10 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 24-16 preseason win over Atlanta.
Analysis: Perine didn't see the field much in this one but made the most of his limited opportunities, bouncing outside for a seven-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. He outplayed undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight (five carries for nine yards), but Perine's likely still looking up at Breece Hall, Michael Carter, Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson on the running back depth chart heading into Sunday's preseason finale against the Giants.

Solid showing in preseason opener
Perine rushed 10 times for 51 yards in Friday's 24-21 preseason win over Philadelphia.
Analysis: Perine is on the roster bubble, but the 2020 fourth-round pick out of Florida put forth a solid effort in the preseason opener to help his case, topping his totals in rushing attempts (eight) and yards (31) from the entire 2021 regular season. Breece Hall and Michael Carter are locks to make the Jets' roster, leaving Perine, Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson (hamstring) and undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight to battle it out for another 1-to-2 roster spots.

Analysis: Austin Walter (illness) joined Michael Carter (ankle) and Tevin Coleman (concussion) on the sidelines before he could play a snap, leaving Perine to work as the power complement to Ty Johnson's finesse in the backfield. Perine was more effective than Johnson (six carries for 17 yards) on the ground, but he wasn't involved as a pass-catcher, and the Jets never got close enough to give Perine any carries by the goal line.

Analysis: Perine will be in street clothes for the second straight week following Tevin Coleman's recent return from a hamstring injury.

Perine (foot) practiced fully Friday but still is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Perine's full participation in Friday's practice suggests he's trending in the right direction, but the second-year running back was unable to shed his injury label. While Perine opens the season fourth on the Jets' backfield depth chart, New York's pecking order at running back remains fluid due to the lack of an established No. 1 option.

Perine (foot) was limited at practice Wednesday and remains questionable for Week 1, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Perine's status for Week 1 remains in question despite coach Robert Saleh previously stating he was optimistic Perine would be available against the Panthers. The Jets promoted Josh Adams from the practice squad Tuesday, and Perine continues to be limited at practice, which suggests that New York is preparing to be without its 23-year-old running back. Tevin Coleman is slated to be the starting running back on the Jets' depth chart with Ty Johnson and Michael Carter the primary backups.

Analysis: Coach Robert Saleh previously said Perine was expected to be available for Week 1, but the addition of Adams from the practice squad indicates the team wanted more depth at running back.

Analysis: Perine appears to be a lock for the 53-man roster after Saleh confirmed that his injury doesn't appear to be too serious. The 2020 fourth-rounder has 18 carries for 46 yards and a score over the Jets' first two preseason games and will likely compete with rookie Michael Carter and Ty Johnson for a backup role behind veteran Tevin Coleman.

Suffers foot injury
Perine suffered a foot injury during Wednesday's practice, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.
Analysis: Perine has been relatively productive to begin the preseason, as he totaled 18 carries for 46 yards and a touchdown across the Jets' first two exhibition games. The 2020 fourth-rounder appears to be in a good position to land a spot on the 53-man roster, but the severity of his injury isn't yet known.

Still fighting for snaps
Perine gained 16 yards on six carries in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.
Analysis: The second-year back saw his first touch of the game in the third quarter, as the Jets ran with Tevin Coleman and Ty Johnson through the first half before turning to Perine and Michael Carter in the backfield after intermission. If the club only ends up keeping three backs on the gam-eday roster, that doesn't bode well for Perine, as Carter -- a 2021 fourth-round pick -- should be a lock.

Finds end zone in preseason opener
Perine rushed 12 times for 30 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants. He wasn't targeted in the passing game.
Analysis: Perine only played after halftime while Ty Johnson and Michael Carter split the first-half workload. That usage suggests Perine's currently behind both of those guys, and likely Tevin Coleman -- who sat out the preseason opener -- on the running back depth chart. The 2020 fourth-round pick didn't find much running room but managed to punch in a four-yard score in the third quarter for the Jets' only touchdown of the night. Perine and the Jets will face the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.

Second on initial depth chart
Perine is listed second on the Jets' initial unofficial depth chart behind Tevin Coleman.
Analysis: It's good to see Perine ahead of Ty Johnson, but he's realistically behind both Coleman and rookie Michael Carter. While Carter surprisingly is listed fourth here, his frequent reps with the first-team offense and glowing reviews from the coaching staff suggest it's a matter of when -- not if -- he moves up the depth chart. There were some worries that Perine would be a cut candidate after a forgettable rookie season, but he should have no trouble securing a roster spot given his placement on…read more

Needs a strong offseason
Perine (illness) could need to impress at OTAs in order to earn a role in the New York backfield, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Perine, who dealt with hamstring issues in 2020 and concluded his rookie year on the COVID-19 list, has been joined by fourth-round pick Michael Carter and veteran Tevin Coleman in the backfield. All three of those players could have a role on offense, but the extent of Perine's involvement could largely hinge on his performance in OTAs and training camp. If Perine struggles to impress new offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, it's conceivable that even Ty Johnson and/or Josh Adams could pass him…read more

Could be odd man out
Perine (illness) could be the odd man out in the Jets' running back rotation this season, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Perine lacks the speed and quick cutting ability coveted by new offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur, and the 2020 fourth-rounder is coming off a poor rookie season in which he produced just 3.6 yards per carry. New York once again used a fourth-round pick on a running back in 2021 to grab Michael Carter out of UNC, and the team also signed Tevin Coleman, who played for LaFleur in San Francisco. In order to maintain a roster spot in the crowded Jets backfield, Perine will have to beat out one or…read more

Fewer than 300 yards as rookie
Perine -- who spent Week 17 on the reserve/COVID-19 list -- finishes his rookie season with 232 yards and two touchdowns on 64 carries and 63 yards on 11 catches.
Analysis: The fourth-round pick out of Florida battled ankle injuries, which limited him to 10 appearances. Perine averaged just 3.6 yards per carry, but some of that ineffectiveness can be excused by New York's poor offensive line play and overall ineptitude on offense under since-fired head coach Adam Gase. With the team unlikely to bring back Gase favorite Frank Gore, Perine could find himself atop the running back depth chart next season, though the Jets will almost certainly bring in competition at…read more

Analysis: According to Greenberg, the Jets are administering contact tracing for Perine to determine if any other players may have been affected. With the Jets already ruling out Frank Gore (lung contusion) for Sunday's season finale in New England and Perine now set to miss the contest, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams are the team's available backfield options, along with practice squad member Pete Guerriero.

Ten touches in return
Perine (ankle) rushed nine times for 30 yards and caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over Cleveland.
Analysis: Perine came off IR for his first action since Week 11, and he finished with nine carries while Frank Gore got 13 and Ty Johnson received two. The distribution of carries was tilted further in Gore's favor until the veteran running back suffered a second-half chest injury, which paved the way for Perine to take over as the lead back with New York trying to run clock late. If Gore's unable to suit up in next week's season finale, Perine would likely get the majority of the carries against the…read more

Perine (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: Perine hasn't played since suffering an injury during Week 11, but he'll make a return to New York's active roster with the team coming off the heels of its first win of the season. The fourth-round pick saw at least six carries in each of the last five games, though it remains to be seen if that workload will return with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams contributing more in recent weeks.

Back practicing, but status TBD
Perine (ankle) has resumed practicing with the team, but coach Adam Gase was non-committal Thursday regarding when he expects the running back to return to game action, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Perine was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 16; however, he was deemed inactive for last Sunday's 23-20 upset of the Rams. The Florida product has a chance to play Week 16 against the Browns, but at this point, his status is very much up in the air. Perine has registered a couple of blips on the fantasy radar this season, scoring touchdowns Weeks 7 and 11, but the 22-year-old has only exceeded 40 scrimmage yards in a game once all season.

Analysis: Perine has missed the Jets' last three games with a high-ankle sprain, but the rookie appeared to have a shot at suiting up this weekend after the Jets designated him to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Though Perine is now practicing with the Jets, Gase suggested that he wanted to evaluate the running back over a full week before giving him the green light to play.

Slated to return to practice
The Jets designated Perine (ankle) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Perine, who suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 11, was placed on injured reserve Nov. 24. Now that he's ready to resume practicing, the rookie could find himself back on the team's active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Rams. If that's the case, Perine would likely fill a complementary role in a New York backfield that also includes Frank Gore, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams.

Perine (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Chargers and will miss time, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: High-ankle sprains often require multiple weeks to fully recover from, so Perine could be a candidate for IR. The rookie fourth-round pick appeared primed to begin garnering increased touches prior to injuring his ankle, but the Jets now will roll forth with Frank Gore and Ty Johnson out of the backfield. Josh Adams also appears destined to bump up from the practice squad.

Coach promises more touches
Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday he plans to give Perine more touches over the team's final seven games, though Frank Gore will continue to play a prominent role as well, Al Iannazone of Newsday reports.
Analysis: This isn't the first time Gase has promised a larger role for Perine, though in fairness, the rookie has averaged 10 touches per game in the last four after touching the ball just 17 times over his first four appearances. Still, those hoping for the winless Jets to invest fully in the future shouldn't get their hopes up, as Gase said Gore -- who is averaging 3.6 yards per carry without a touchdown this season -- is "probably playing at one of the higher levels of anybody we have right now."

Gets eight touches
Perine rushed six times for 19 yards and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: Perine's longest gain went for 11 yards, as he again split time with Frank Gore in New York's backfield. Overall, though, Gore's 12 rushes for 46 yards and two grabs for 13 more lent slightly more value than that from Perine's touches. Still, with neither player really separating himself from the other, it's likely the Jets continue with their tailback rotation when they return from their Week 10 bye, capping the already-mild upside of both options.

Continues 50/50 split with Gore
Perine rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for six more in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.
Analysis: Perine and Frank Gore (hand) split the backfield workload with 10 touches apiece. It would make sense for the winless Jets to give the 22-year-old rookie most of the work over the 37-year-old Gore, but coach Adam Gase seems to have other ideas. With a Patriots team that has lost four consecutive games coming to town in Week 9, New York has a better chance of avoiding a negative game script and staying committed to the run.

Scores TD as role grows
Perine rushed 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 16 yards on three targets in Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo.
Analysis: Perine and Frank Gore both got 11 carries, and while Gore rushed for 60 yards to Perine's 39, it was the rookie fourth-round pick who scored New York's only touchdown. His five-yard touchdown in the second quarter actually gave the Jets a surprising 10-0 lead, but it was all Bills after that. Perine's role should continue to expand at Gore's expense moving forward, but game script likely won't yield many rushing opportunities in Week 8, with New York expected to fall behind against the Chiefs.

Nine touches in shutout loss
Perine rushed seven times for 27 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Nobody on New York's offense played well, but it's discouraging that Perine was outproduced by both Frank Gore (11 carries for 46 yards) and Ty Johnson (three carries for 42 yards). Almost half of Perine's rushing yards came on a meaningless 13-yard carry to end the first half. The rookie has made a habit of hesitating at the line of scrimmage and waiting for larger holes to open up, but those holes aren't being created by an injury-riddled Jets offensive line.

Coach promises larger role
Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Perine will play a larger role moving forward following the release of starting running back Le'Veon Bell, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports. "Perine's definitely going to get bigger role," Gase said. "Frank [Gore', you're not going to lean on him, because where he's at in his career. Getting Perine involved is going to be critical."
Analysis: While Bell was sidelined with a hamstring injury in Weeks 2 through 4, Perine only logged 15 carries to Gore's 49, but Gase surely realizes that continuing to feed a 37-year-old running back over a fourth-round rookie is a surefire way to lose one's job when coaching an 0-5 team. While Perine's 3.7 yards per carry and two catches for minus-1 yards on the season aren't anything to write home about, he has a golden opportunity to seize the Jets' lead-back role and build his value.

No offensive role Week 5
Perine returned two kicks for 22 yards during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick had 15 carries over the previous three games in the absence of Le'Veon Bell, but he didn't play a single offensive snap Sunday with Bell back from injured reserve. Coach Adam Gase said the Jets want to avoid putting "too much" on Perine and "stunt his growth," so it hardly sounds as though the team is looking to give him a larger offensive role. He's unlikely to be much of a factor while Bell and Frank Gore remain healthy.

Five carries in Week 4
Perine rushed five times for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Thursday's 37-28 loss to Denver.
Analysis: Perine mixed in behind Frank Gore (13 carries for 30 yards) on early downs while Kalen Ballage served in a pass-catching role. With Gore averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and Ballage committing a couple of critical gaffes, there's opportunity for Perine to earn a larger workload while Le'Veon Bell heals from a hamstring injury. Whether the rookie fourth-rounder is given a a chance to seize that opportunity by a stubborn coaching staff is a different story.

Seven carries in blowout loss
Perine rushed seven times for 24 yards and caught both of his targets for minus-1 yard in Sunday's 36-7 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: The Jets got blown out for a third consecutive week, but they continued to feed 37-year-old Frank Gore (15 carries for 57 yards) over the rookie Perine. It's tough to trust anyone in an offense that's averaging only 12.3 points per game despite scoring two garbage-time touchdowns in three games, and it looks like coach Adam Gase has no plans to remove Gore from the starting role as long as Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) remains on IR, further capping Perine's appeal.

If Perine can play through the injury once more against the Colts in Week 3, he could earn more touches in a backfield currently headlined by Frank Gore, with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on injured reserve.

Perine delivered a strong performance in Wednesday's scrimmage, scampering for a 79-yard touchdown run and gaining 36 yards on another carry, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick out of Florida is currently listed third on the depth chart behind Le'Veon Bell and Frank Gore, but he could surpass the latter as the season goes on if the Jets decide to prioritize youth and upside at the position. Even if he quickly supplants Gore for a second on the depth chart, Perine's role as a rookie will likely still be limited, given that Bell is projected to handle a three-down role.
