Samaje Perine Has High-Ankle Sprain

Bengals RB Samaje Perine suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Bears and is considered "week to week," HC Zac Taylor said. Perine gets a Week 10 bye but could certainly miss time beyond that. High-ankle sprains often cost players 4+ weeks, although we don't have a definitive timetable for Perine's return. His absence would be a major boon for RB Chase Brown, who set season highs with a 95% snap rate and 86% route rate with Perine out for most of last week's game. Brown handled 11 of 13 RB carries and drew a whopping 14 targets. He looks like at least a high-end RB2 for as long as Perine is out.
