Indianapolis Colts RB Paul Perkins was released Monday, May 3.
| Footballguys view: Perkins was on the Colts practice squad in 2020 and didn't see any playing time. Some team in need of veteran experience will consider picking up the veteran three-down back. |

Free-agent RBs Paul Perkins (Ravens), Karan Higdon (Texans) and Austin Walter (Giants) are among the running backs trying out for the San Francisco 49ers.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers are getting thin at the position with Tevin Coleman and Raheem Mostert banged up. They've got Jerick McKinnon and Jeffery Wilson as their top two backs going forward. We'll see if they sign one of these free agents later in the week. |

Lions | Bo Scarbrough added to active roster Sat Nov 16, 05:02 PM
Detroit Lions practice squad RB Bo Scarbrough was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday, Nov. 16. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team also waived RB Paul Perkins.
| Footballguys view: The Lions have been looking for running back help even since Kerryon Johnson went down with an injury. Scarbrough, a seventh-round pick of the Cowboys in the 2018 NFL draft, is a large battering ram of a back who will work behind Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic in the Lions backfield. |

Detroit Lions RB Paul Perkins was added to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Oct. 23.

The Detroit Lions have declared DL Mike Daniels, OG Beau Benzschawel, DE Da'Shawn Hand, OT Oday Aboushi, RB Paul Perkins, WR Danny Amendola and CB Darius Slay inactive for Week 4.
| Footballguys view: The Lions will miss Slay vs. Patrick Mahomes. Amendola's absence should free up some targets for TJ Hockenson and Jesse James in the middle of the field. |

Lions | Paul Perkins wants to be explosive Wed Sep 18, 11:03 PM
Detroit Lions RB Paul Perkins is learning his new team's playbook this week, and he is excited about the chance and wants to be explosive. 'I'm going to go home and look over some stuff,' he said Wednesday, Sept. 18. 'But the offense seems pretty dope and it seems it can get a lot of guys the ball.'
| Footballguys view: Perkins has always been explosive but he's failed to make much of an impact in the pros. He's got to stay healthy and then try to impress from the end of the bench for the Lions. It looks like they want more Ty Johnson behind starter Kerryon Johnson moving forward. |

Lions | C.J. Anderson cut Tue Sep 17, 05:44 PM
Detroit Lions RB C.J. Anderson was released Tuesday, Sept. 17. Free-agent RB Paul Perkins (Giants) was signed to an undisclosed contract to replace him on the roster.
| Footballguys view: We saw this happen with Anderson last year too. In fact, both the Panthers and the Raiders cut him last year but when he landed with the Rams he was a key fantasy asset. We'll see what kind of interest he generates now that he's back on the open market. |

Giants | Wayne Gallman's stock falling? Fri Jun 28, 10:08 PM
New York Giants RB Wayne Gallman appears to have fallen behind RB Paul Perkins in the battle for the No. 2 running back job, and Gallman isn't a lock to be the No. 3 back at this point, according to Matt Lombardo of NJ.com.
| Footballguys view: Gallman looked serviceable as a receiver and runner in limited action in 2017, but appears to be falling out of favor with the current regime. He's a versatile high effort back but might be looking for a job after the team added Rod Smith. |

Giants | Paul Perkins the backup? Fri Jun 28, 09:53 PM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins was the first running back to sub in when RB Saquon Barkley was on the sidelines during spring practices, and Matt Lombardo of NJ.com believes Perkins will enter the season as the top backup if he continues to play well in training camp.
| Footballguys view: Perkins was once the team's starter, and he could end up being the handcuff to Barkley in what is a wide open position battle for the #2 back. We'll keep him at the end of our waiver wire watch list for now. |

Giants | Paul Perkins healthy Thu May 23, 10:04 AM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins (pectoral) said he's back to full health after missing last season with a pectoral injury. He impressed the coaching staff with his work in the first two days of organized team activities.
| Footballguys view: Perkins is most certainly in a make-or-break season in 2019. In the two seasons he has played, the 2016 fifth-round pick has averaged only 3.6 yards per carry. That's got to improve if he wants to win a spot on the depth chart behind Saquon Barkley. Perkins will be competing with guys like Rod Smith and Wayne Gallman for that role. |

Giants | Paul Perkins future in doubt Thu Apr 18, 09:58 PM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins will have to beat out either RB Wayne Gallman or RB Robert Martin in order to make the roster in 2019, in the opinion of Ryan Dunleavy of NJ Advance Media.
| Footballguys view: Perkins has failed to play up to expectations as a pro. He drew some Jamaal Charles comparisons when he came out of UCLA in the 2016 NFL draft...and he's nowhere close to that with the Giants. Perkins is no lock for the 53-man roster in 2019. |

Giants | Paul Perkins could go on IR Thu May 10, 03:08 PM
Updating a previous report, New York Giants RB Paul Perkins (pectoral) was waived/injured Thursday, May 10, and will revert to the team's Reserve/Injured list if he is not claimed off waivers.
| Footballguys view: Perkins was hailed as the top dog in 2017 more than once but never backed it up with good numbers. With first-round pick Saquon Barkley around, the situation wasn't going to improve for him and the team might have released Perkins as a favor. They need the roster space, and would have placed him on Injured Reserve anyway, so this way he could find a team who might let him hang around with a chance to play this year. |

Giants | Paul Perkins waived Thu May 10, 02:40 PM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins was waived Thursday, May 10.
| Footballguys view: Perkins had looked good last summer but never captured the top job like the team had hoped and then tore his pectoral muscle at the start of conditioning. If he goes unclaimed, he will revert to the Giants' roster under injured reserve. |

Giants | Paul Perkins had surgery Thu Apr 26, 10:58 AM
Updating previous reports, New York Giants RB Paul Perkins (pectoral) had surgery on a torn pectoral muscle. The extent of his injury and timetable are unknown.
| Footballguys view: The Giants aren't going to lean on Perkins anyway with Jonathan Stewart signed, plus a new running back from sometime during the NFL Draft. Ge's goign to have to fight for a roster spot. |

Giants | Paul Perkins has arm in sling Tue Apr 24, 02:54 PM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins (pectoral) suffered a pectoral injury while training and was seen with his arm in a sling Tuesday, April 24.
| Footballguys view: The team is likely to move on from Perkins. He had a bit of an opportunity last year but failed to take advantage of that situation. This offseason, the Giants added veteran RB Jonathan Stewart in free agency. They'll also select a running back in this deep and talented class. In fact, the Giants may select Penn State RB Saquon Barkley with the No.2 overall pick. |

Giants | Sterling Shepard, Paul Perkins limited Wed Oct 18, 01:59 PM
New York Giants WR Sterling Shepard (ankle) and RB Paul Perkins (ribs) were able to participate in practice on a limited basis Wednesday, Oct. 18.
| Footballguys view: The Giants are at home in Week 7 after getting their first win of the season against the Broncos on Sunday. They play the Seahawks and need as much help as they can get offensively. Shepard is the player to watch here. When healthy, Shepard will be the team's top WR with Odell Beckham Jr. and Brandon Marshall done for the year. In that role, Shepard has WR3 value for fantasy owners. |

Giants | Paul Perkins X-rays negative Mon Oct 2, 01:52 PM
New York Giants RB Paul Perkins (ribs) had X-rays on his bruised ribs, which were negative. It's likely to be a pain tolerance issue moving forward.
| Footballguys view: Ribs injuries always come down to how much pain a player can deal with and play through. Even when healthy, Perkins hasn't been impressing for the Giants. Rookie Wayne Gallman got into the game when Perkins was hurt and looked better. The Giants aren't running the ball well, so expect changes to be made which could include more carries for Gallman or Orleans Darkwa. |
