Perriman (leg) remains in the mix for a roster spot, but he's missed valuable time in recent weeks due to his injury and could also be hurt by the fact he doesn't usually play special teams, Joey Knight of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
The veteran wideout has had his moments over two separate stints with the Buccaneers during the 2019 and 2021 seasons, producing a 47-812-7 receiving line across 20 regular-season games during that span. However, with the undrafted trio of Deven Thompkins, Jerreth Sterns and Kaylon Geiger all enjoying varying levels of success this summer -- and fellow incumbents such as Scotty Miller and Cyril Grayson also in the mix -- Perriman's chances of sticking around in Tampa Bay may largely hinge on what unfolds in Saturday's preseason finale against the Colts. The speedster should have an opportunity to make his case in that game, as Perriman was able to practice for a second straight day Wednesday and appears to be trending toward suiting up, per Knight.
