Coach Hue Jackson said Perriman could have a significant role during Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Perriman's track record doesn't inspire any confidence, but it wouldn't be crazy for the Browns to give him a shot when the other options are unproven commodities in Damion Ratley and Da'Mari Scott. With Rashard Higgins (knee) expected to miss another game and rookie Antonio Callaway struggling to do anything with his targets, the Browns are awfully thin at wide receiver behind top option Jarvis Landry. Jackson noted that Perriman looked good Wednesday during his first practice with the team after the 2015 first-round pick signed a contract with the Browns over the weekend.
