The Patriots placed Perkins (ankle) on injured reserve Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Perkins' ankle injury has plagued him for much of the 2021 campaign, causing a delay to his NFL debut. After being placed on injured reserve, the rookie third-round pick will now be shut down for at least three weeks. A potential return in the playoffs is possible but seems unlikely due to his lack of playing time during the regular season.
