Player Notes
June 23, 2008
Chris Perry noted that he believes he is about 85% recovered from his 2006 ankle surgery, according to the Dayton Daily News. Perry had a good showing in OTA sessions and mini-camp, but he reportedly lacked initial burst, quickness and struggled running the ball outside.

Our View:His playing status with the Bengals remains unclear, and he will have a tough challenge to make the team, while competing with Kenny Watson, DeDe Dorsey, and promising rookie free agent James Johnson.
May 28, 2008
The Cincinnati Bengals are holding another offseason practice at this hour, and running back Chris Perry is participating fully, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:Perry missed the entire 2007 season due to an ankle injury, and has struggled with injuries his entire career. The Bengals are hopeful he can provide some explosive plays as a change-of-pace threat on third downs in 2008.
May 15, 2008
Quarterback Carson Palmer praised running back Chris Perry, according to the Dayton Daily News. Palmer said, "He’s such a threat out of the backfield. I compare him to LaDainian Tomlinson or Larry Johnson running the screen routes."

Our View:Perry is reportedly healthy again, and he will battle Kenny Watson for the top backup role. Kenny Irons should be in the mix as well. Perry could hold favorable value, namely for PPR leagues, evidenced by Palmer's comments, and the fact that Rudi Johnson has had trouble staying healthy as of late.
May 10, 2008
Chris Perry is healthy and ready to play this season, and that is the reason why the Bengals didn't take a running back in the draft, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer.

Our View:Rudi Johnson will start this season, and Perry will compete with Kenny Watson for the top backup role. Second year pro Kenny Irons should be in the mix as well.
May 4, 2008
Head coach Marv Lewis expects Chris Perry to be on the field when the Bengals begins a voluntary minicamp on May 13, the team's official web site reports. He hasn't played since breaking his right fibula in November of 2006.

Our View:Perry is a former first-round pick who was supposed to be a better version of Kenny Watson. Instead, Perry will need to battle for a roster spot this summer and fall.
