Perry (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Perry wasn't included on the Saints' first Week 1 injury report Wednesday, but a hand injury kept him out of drills entirely the next two days, resulting in a questionable designation ahead of the weekend. Per Hendrix, Perry wasn't seen during warmups, which signaled that he may not be available, and such an outcome has come to pass. With Perry sidelined, Cedrick Wilson should be the primary No. 3 WR for New Orleans behind starters Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed.
