Perine rushed for five yards on five carries in Sunday's preseason win over the Bengals.
Two of Perine's carries went for no gain or a loss. There were some rumblings that Perine might skyrocket up the depth chart after last week's 74-yard outing against Green Bay and the recent struggles of starter Rob Kelley. After Perine's underwhelming play against Cincinnati and Kelley's rebound performance, such talk seems increasingly premature.
