Perine appeared as the No. 3 running back on the Redskins' first unofficial depth chart, Adam Zielonka of The Washington Times reports.

Perine had a steady workload towards the end of the 2017 campaign, rushing 109 times for 393 yards and one touchdown while catching 16 passes for 127 yards in the final seven games. However, his uptick in usage was a result of injuries to Chris Thompson (lower leg) and Rob Kelley, both of whom are back at practice and should be ready for Week 1. The arrival of second-round pick Derrius Guice makes Perine an afterthought for fantasy owners, and the second-year back might even be an afterthought for the Redskins, with his roster spot no longer assured, Rich Tandler of NBC Sports Washington reports.
