Jets head coach Adam Gase said Wednesday that he isn't optimistic about Perriman's (ankle) chances of playing Week 3 versus the Colts or Week 4 versus the Broncos, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.
Gase commented on Perriman's status after the wideout was a non-participant in the Jets' first practice session of Week 3. At this stage, the Jets haven't officially ruled him out from playing Sunday in Indianapolis, but Perriman will face an uphill battle to shake off the sprained ankle ahead of that contest. Additionally, the Jets will be facing a quick turnaround from the Colts game with a Thursday night matchup with Denver in Week 4, likely setting Perriman up for a multi-game absence. With Jamison Crowder (hamstring) not practicing Wednesday either, quarterback Sam Darnold could very well have to make do without his two top receivers this weekend.
