Perine signed to Green Bay's practice squad Friday.
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.
