Bengals' Samaje Perine: Won't be back Sunday
Perine (ankle) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bears.
With the Bengals on bye next week, Perine's next chance to see game action will arrive Nov. 16 against the Steelers. In his absence Sunday, Tahj Brooks is next in line for backfield work behind starter Chase Brown. Meanwhile, fellow RBs Gary Brightwell and Kendall Milton are currently members of Cincinnati's practice squad.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Hurts ankle Sunday
Perine exited Sunday's game against the Bears after sustaining a right ankle injury.
Before that, Perine had carried once for five yards. While he's sidelined, 2025 sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks is next up for backfield touches behind Chase Brown.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Best game of season in loss
Perine rushed nine times for 94 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for six yards in Sunday's 39-38 loss to the Jets.
Perine gave the Bengals a seemingly comfortable 31-16 lead with a 32-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, but the Jets won the fourth by a 23-7 margin to pick up their first win of the season. Chase Brown produced 108 total yards and two touchdowns on 15 touches, but Perine's strong play Sunday could help the veteran running back earn an expanded role moving forward. Heading into a Week 9 home game against the Bears, Brown remains the Bengals' top backfield option over Perine.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Modest downturn in usage
Perine had seven carries for 31 yards in Thursday night's win over the Steelers. He played 27 offensive snaps, which accounted for 38 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps.
Perine had registered 47 percent of the offensive snaps over the two previous games, but teammate Chase Brown was running so effectively against the Steelers that it made less sense to replace him with Perine.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Another uptick in usage
Perine rushed the ball six times for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-17 loss to the Packers. He added two receptions on three targets for 16 yards.
Perine saw a season-high six carries and eight total touches, as he continued to even the workload with Chase Brown. Perine hasn't proven capable of putting up viable fantasy performances to this point, with Sunday representing his highest yardage output. Nevertheless, it will be worth monitoring how touches are distributed in the Cincinnati backfield moving forward.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Workload increasing
Perine carried four times for 27 yards and gained two yards on two receptions in Sunday's 37-24 loss to the Lions.
More importantly, Perine played 29 offensive snaps, good for 47 percent of the Bengals' offensive snaps. With top running back Chase Brown off to a slow start to the season, Perine might continue to cut into his snap share, especially when the Bengals are playing from behind.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: One carry in loss
Perine rushed once for four yards and failed to secure his lone target in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.
Perine played 15 of the Bengals' 48 offensive snaps Monday, while starting running back Chase Brown was on the field for 35 snaps. Operating as the clear backup, the 30-year-old Perine was unable to do much of anything with his limited opportunities. Barring an injury to Brown, Perine doesn't hold much fantasy value on a struggling offense. The Bengals are set to host the Lions in Week 5.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Practices fully Thursday
Perine (thumb) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Perine was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Vikings, but it's evidently not serious, and the veteran running back should handle his normal role as the Bengals' preferred option in pass protection out of the backfield. Perine has extremely minimal fantasy appeal while Chase Brown is healthy.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Thumb injury not serious
Perine (thumb) avoided a severe injury during Sunday's loss to the Vikings and hasn't been ruled out to face the Broncos in Week 4, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Perine underwent an MRI after having been forced out of Sunday's loss to Minnesota, but those evaluations didn't reveal any significant damage. The veteran has handled a change-of-pace role behind Chase Brown, though he's generated just six touches across three regular-season appearances. Tahj Brooks would stand to get additional work if Perine does miss any time.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Won't return vs. Minnesota
Perine (thumb) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Perine injured his right thumb in the first half of Sunday's game and won't return for the final two quarters of the contest. Tahj Brooks should see additional work out of the backfield behind Chase Brown due to Perine's injury.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Exits with thumb injury
Perine is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Vikings due to a right thumb injury.
Perine went to the locker room late in the second quarter, where medical staff will evaluate the severity of his thumb injury. Rookie sixth-rounder Tahj Brooks should see some snaps out of the backfield behind Chase Brown for as long as Perine is out of the game.

Bengals' Samaje Perine: Limited to kick-return duties
Perine didn't have any carries or targets on offense but had six kick returns for a combined 154 yards, with a long of 37 yards, in Sunday's 31-27 win over Jacksonville.
As was the case with Joe Mixon in his prime, the Bengals are going with a "bellcow" running back approach with Chase Brown, leaving very little room for Perine or Tahj Brooks to contribute.
