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.
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.
