  • 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

  • Headed to COVID-19 list

    The Jets announced Wednesday that Perine has been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list following his positive test, Ethan B. Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    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

  • Activated off IR

    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.

  • Won't return Week 15

    Perine (ankle) will not be activated from injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perine will miss a fourth straight game due to his high-ankle sprain, setting the stage for Frank Gore, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams to handle New York's backfield reps against the Rams. If Perine can return Week 16, coach Adam Gase will likely deploy him in a committee.

  • Unlikely for Week 15

    Jets head coach Adam Gase said Thursday that Perine (ankle) is unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup with the Rams, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    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. As a result, Frank Gore looks poised to continue as New York's starting back against the Rams, with Ty Johnson and Josh…read more

  • 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.

  • Should practice soon

    Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Perine (ankle) is expected to resume practicing this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: The rookie fourth-round pick hasn't played since Week 11, when he injured his ankle, but it appears as though he could retake the field soon. At such time as Perine does resume practicing, a 21-day window wherein he can be monitored without counting against the active roster will begin.

  • Out at least three weeks

    The Jets placed Perine (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Perine will be sidelined for at least three games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Chargers. While Perine is out of the picture, Frank Gore is expected to see the bulk of the carries in the backfield, with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams serving as the Jets' main change-of-pace options.

  • Set to miss time

    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.

  • Hurts ankle Sunday

    Perine suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game at Denver, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Perine had eight carries for 33 yards and one touchdown, but he didn't gather in his only target. He's considered doubtful to return, which leaves Frank Gore and Ty Johnson as the only healthy Jets running backs.

  • 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. Until Perine shows the ability to…read more

  • 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.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Updating a previous report, Perine (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Adam Gase suggested prior to the practice that Perine would be a limited participant, but the Jets evidently felt that the rookie was capable of handling more work as the session unfolded. With the full workout under his belt, Perine should enter Sunday's game in Indianapolis without an injury designation, and he'll likely be in store for an enhanced role after making the most of his limited snaps in the Week 2 loss to the 49ers (three carries for 17 yards).

    Analysis: Despite having his reps capped in both of the Jets' first two practices of the week, Perine is still believed to be on track to play Sunday against the Colts. If Perine is active this weekend, coach Adam Gase hinted Thursday that the rookie could be more involved after he carried three times for 17 yards while playing nine offensive snaps in last week's loss to the 49ers, according to Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News.

  • Limited practice to start week

    Perine (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

    Analysis: Perine still appears to be bothered by the ankle injury that pushed his NFL debut back a week, though he looked spry in limited action with 17 yards on three carries in Sunday's loss to the 49ers. 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.

  • Three carries in NFL debut

    Perine (ankle) rushed three times for 17 yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 31-13 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: Perine looked decent in limited action in his NFL debut, but Frank Gore (21 carries for 63 yards) dominated the touches in the New York backfield. Coach Adam Gase values Gore's reliability, but it could behoove the Jets to see what they have in the rookie fourth-rounder out of Florida while Le'Veon Bell recovers from a hamstring injury. Look for Perine to be more involved against the Colts in Week 3.

    Analysis: Perine's nagging ankle injury prevented him from playing in last week's loss to the Bills, but the rookie fourth-round pick will make his NFL debut Sunday. Though top back Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) is now on injured reserve, it's unclear how extensive of a role Perine might have behind Frank Gore, who is slated to start in Bell's stead.

  • Listed as questionable

    Perine (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the 49ers after logging limited practices Thursday and Friday.

    Analysis: With Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) on IR and set to miss at least three weeks, Frank Gore is poised to start at running back for the Jets in Week 2. Kalen Ballage is also in the mix, but once Perine can prove that he's past his ankle injury, and he's trending toward active status Sunday, that's a context in which he could potentially emerge as a fantasy sleeper.

    Analysis: Perine did not take the field last week nor at the Jets' first practice session this week, but he got some work in Thursday and will do the same Friday, so he will have a chance to suit up for the first time as a professional Week 2.

    Analysis: Perine's low-ankle sprain has completely sidelined him since late training camp, but it looks as though he could upgrade to being listed as a 'limited' participant on Thursday's practice report. The rookie fourth-round pick still remains uncertain for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

    Analysis: The status of Perine, who was sidelined Week 1, gains added import for the Jets, with Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) now on injured reserve and set to miss at least three weeks. For now, the team's healthy running back options are Frank Gore, Kalen Ballage and practice squad member Josh Adams.

  • Uncertain for Week 2

    Coach Adam Gase is uncertain about Perine (ankle) playing in Sunday's game versus the 49ers, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Perine couldn't make his NFL debut Week 1 due to a low-ankle sprain, but if he can shake that off before Week 2, he could have an immediate role because Le'Veon Bell (hamstring) could miss time. It's worth monitoring Perine's practice status as the week carries on. If Perine's able to play, he'll likely serve in a secondary role with Frank Gore as the lead back and potentially Josh Adams rotating in as well.

  • Won't make debut versus Bills

    Perine (ankle) is ruled out for Sunday's divisional tilt against Buffalo, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perine has yet to resume practicing since suffering a low-ankle sprain during the last week of training camp, so he may not yet be close to a return. That the Jets haven't placed Perine on injured reserve for a minimum of three weeks seems to indicate that the rookie will retake the field at some point this month, but even when healthy he's unlikely to handle significant carries behind Le'Veon Bell and Frank Gore.

    Perine (ankle) won't participate in Wednesday's practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Perine is working his way back from the low-ankle sprain he sustained late August. Though the rookie fourth-round pick isn't expected to miss a significant amount of time, he now only has two more chances to increase his practice participation ahead of a Week 1 divisional tilt in Buffalo. When available, Perine is expected to begin his career as the Jets' No. 3 running back behind Le'Veon Bell and Frank Gore.

    Perine was diagnosed with a low-ankle sprain, likely avoiding a long-term absence, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Reports from Sunday's practice didn't sound great, but it now seems the rookie fourth-round pick doesn't have a severe injury. Even if he isn't ready for the season opener, Perine should be available as the Jets' No. 3 running back at some point during the early portion of the campaign. Le'Veon Bell and Frank Gore are expected to handle most of the backfield snaps.

  • Needs MRI for ankle

    Perine is scheduled for an MRI after suffering an ankle injury Sunday afternoon, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Perine was able to exit the practice field without assistance, but he reportedly wasn't putting much pressure on his injured leg. His work with the second-string offense has earned the attention of beat writers, but it's nonetheless been Le'Veon Bell and Frank Gore dominating reps with the first unit. Any absence for Perine would open the door for Kalen Ballage and/or Josh Adams (hamstring) to step up as the No. 3 RB, a role that could largely be limited to special teams work if Bell and Gore…read more

  • Exits with possible leg injury

    Perine limped off the field at Sunday's practice with an apparent left leg injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
