Despite missing part of training camp and the preseason opener due to injury, Perriman (hip) is still expected to handle a starting role opposite Tyrell Williams, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com reports.
With Amon-Ra St. Brown the favorite to handle slot duties, there aren't any serious contenders for Perriman's job on the perimeter anyway, especially with Quintez Cephus (head) missing significant time as well. While it's not clear when Perriman will return to the field, he at least dressed for last week's preseason game against the Bills, per Chris Burke of The Athletic.
