La'Mical Perine - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Activated off IR Perine (ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday.

Impact Perine hasn't played since suffering an injury during Week 11, but he'll make a return to New York's active roster with the team coming off the heels of its first win of the season. The fourth-round pick saw at least six carries in each of the last five games, though it remains to be seen if that workload will return with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams contributing more in recent weeks.

Back practicing, but status TBD Perine (ankle) has resumed practicing with the team, but coach Adam Gase was non-committal Thursday regarding when he expects the running back to return to game action, Rich Cimini...

Impact Perine was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 16; however, he was deemed inactive for last Sunday's 23-20 upset of the Rams. The Florida product has a chance to play Week 16 against the Browns, but at this point, his status is very much up in the air. Perine has registered a couple of blips on the fantasy radar this season, scoring touchdowns Weeks 7 and 11, but the 22-year-old has only exceeded 40 scrimmage yards in a game once all season.

Won't return Week 15 Perine (ankle) will not be activated from injured reserve Saturday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Perine will miss a fourth straight game due to his high-ankle sprain, setting the stage for Frank Gore, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams to handle New York's backfield reps against the Rams. If Perine can return Week 16, coach Adam Gase will likely deploy him in a committee.

Unlikely for Week 15 Jets head coach Adam Gase said Thursday that Perine (ankle) is unlikely to be activated from injured reserve ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup with the Rams, Andy Vasquez of The...

Impact Perine has missed the Jets' last three games with a high-ankle sprain, but the rookie appeared to have a shot at suiting up this weekend after the Jets designated him to return from injured reserve Wednesday. Though Perine is now practicing with the Jets, Gase suggested that he wanted to evaluate the running back over a full week before giving him the green light to play. As a result, Frank Gore looks poised to continue as New York's starting back against the Rams, with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams on hand as change-of-pace options.

Slated to return to practice Perine (ankle) has been designated to return from IR.

Impact Perine, who suffered a high-ankle sprain during Week 11 action, was placed on injured reserve Nov. 24. Now that he's ready to resume practicing, the 2020 fourth-rounder could find himself back on the team's active roster in time to suit up Sunday against the Rams. If that's the case, Perine would figure to resume a complementary role in a New York backfield that also includes Frank Gore, Ty Johnson and Josh Adams.

Despite speculation, Darnold believes future still with Jets

It’s beginning to feel a lot like a somber farewell tour for Sam Darnold

DECEMBER 14, 2020 • Associated Press

Should practice soon Coach Adam Gase said Monday that Perine (ankle) is expected to resume practicing this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

Impact The rookie fourth-round pick hasn't played since Week 11, when he injured his ankle, but it appears as though he could retake the field soon. At such time as Perine does resume practicing, a 21-day window wherein he can be monitored without counting against the active roster will begin.

Jets place RB La'Mical Perine, K Sam Ficken on IR

NOVEMBER 24, 2020 • Associated Press

Out at least three weeks The Jets placed Perine (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.

Impact Perine will be sidelined for at least three games after sustaining a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's 34-28 loss to the Jets. While Perine is out of the picture, Frank Gore is expected to see the bulk of the carries in the backfield, with Ty Johnson and Josh Adams serving as the Jets' main change-of-pace options.

Darnold's shoulder remains big question mark for 0-10 Jets

Set to miss time Perine (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's loss to the Chargers and will miss time, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Impact High-ankle sprains often require multiple weeks to fully recover from, so Perine could be a candidate for IR. The rookie fourth-round pick appeared primed to begin garnering increased touches prior to injuring his ankle, but the Jets now will roll forth with Frank Gore and Ty Johnson out of the backfield. Josh Adams also appears destined to bump up from the practice squad.

Hurts ankle Sunday Perine suffered an ankle injury during Sunday's game at Denver, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports.

Impact Prior to his departure in the third quarter, Perine had eight carries for 33 yards and one touchdown, but he didn't gather in his only target. He's considered doubtful to return, which leaves Frank Gore and Ty Johnson as the only healthy Jets running backs.

NOVEMBER 22, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Coach promises more touches Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that the plan is for Perine to get more touches moving forward, though Frank Gore will continue to play a prominent role as well, Al Iannazone of New...

Impact This isn't the first time Gase has promised a larger role for Perine, though in fairness, the rookie has averaged 10 touches per game in the last four after touching the ball just 17 times over his first four appearances. Still, those hoping for the win-less Jets to invest fully in the future shouldn't get their hopes up, as Gase said Gore -- who is averaging 3.6 yards per carry without a touchdown this season -- is "probably playing at one of the higher levels of anybody we have right now."

Gets eight touches Perine rushed six times for 19 yards and caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Monday night's 30-27 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Perine's longest gain went for 11 yards, as he again split time with Frank Gore in New York's backfield. Overall, though, Gore's 12 rushes for 46 yards and two grabs for 13 more lent slightly more value than that from Perine's touches. Still, with neither player really separating himself from the other, it's likely the Jets continue with their tailback rotation when they return from their Week 10 bye, capping the already-mild upside of both options.

Continues 50/50 split with Gore Perine rushed eight times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for six more in Sunday's 35-9 loss to Kansas City.

Impact Perine and Frank Gore (hand) split the backfield workload with 10 touches apiece. It would make sense for the winless Jets to give the 22-year-old rookie most of the work over the 37-year-old Gore, but coach Adam Gase seems to have other ideas. With a Patriots team that has lost four consecutive games coming to town in Week 9, New York has a better chance of avoiding a negative game script and staying committed to the run.

NOVEMBER 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Scores TD as role grows Perine rushed 11 times for 39 yards and a touchdown while adding two catches for 16 yards on three targets in Sunday's 18-10 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Perine and Frank Gore both got 11 carries, and while Gore rushed for 60 yards to Perine's 39, it was the rookie fourth-round pick who scored New York's only touchdown. His five-yard touchdown in the second quarter actually gave the Jets a surprising 10-0 lead, but it was all Bills after that. Perine's role should continue to expand at Gore's expense moving forward, but game script likely won't yield many rushing opportunities in Week 8, with New York expected to fall behind against the Chiefs.

Nine touches in shutout loss Perine rushed seven times for 27 yards and caught two of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to Miami.

Impact Nobody on New York's offense played well, but it's discouraging that Perine was outproduced by both Frank Gore (11 carries for 46 yards) and Ty Johnson (three carries for 42 yards). Almost half of Perine's rushing yards came on a meaningless 13-yard carry to end the first half. The rookie has made a habit of hesitating at the line of scrimmage and waiting for larger holes to open up, but those holes aren't being created by an injury-riddled Jets offensive line. Until Perine shows the ability to at least keep the offense on schedule with modest gains, he'll have a hard time carving out a larger role.

Jets rookie Perine likely to have bigger role with Bell gone

La’Mical Perine was drafted in April to be the New York Jets’ running back of the future

OCTOBER 16, 2020 • Associated Press

Coach promises larger role Coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that Perine will play a larger role moving forward following the release of starting running back Le'Veon Bell, Manish Mehta of the New York Daily Ne...

Impact While Bell was sidelined with a hamstring injury in Weeks 2 through 4, Perine only logged 15 carries to Gore's 49, but Gase surely realizes that continuing to feed a 37-year-old running back over a fourth-round rookie is a surefire way to lose one's job when coaching an 0-5 team. While Perine's 3.7 yards per carry and two catches for minus-1 yards on the season aren't anything to write home about, he has a golden opportunity to seize the Jets' lead-back role and build his value.

No offensive role Week 5 Perine returned two kicks for 22 yards during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the Cardinals

Impact The rookie fourth-round pick had 15 carries over the previous three games in the absence of Le'Veon Bell, but he didn't play a single offensive snap Sunday with Bell back from injured reserve. Coach Adam Gase said the Jets want to avoid putting "too much" on Perine and "stunt his growth," so it hardly sound as though the team is looking to give him a larger offensive role. He's unlikely to be much of a factor while Bell and Frank Gore remain healthy.

OCTOBER 12, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Five carries in Week 4 Perine rushed five times for 15 yards and wasn't targeted in the passing game in Thursday's 37-28 loss to Denver.

Impact Perine mixed in behind Frank Gore (13 carries for 30 yards) on early downs, while Kalen Ballage served in a pass-catching role. With Gore averaging just 3.2 yards per carry and Ballage committing a couple of critical gaffes, there's opportunity for Perine to earn himself a larger workload while Le'Veon Bell heals up from a hamstring injury. Whether the rookie fourth-rounder is given a a chance to seize that opportunity by a stubborn coaching staff is a different story.
