Chris Perry Headed For PUP? (1 Viewer)

Speaking of injuries, they could play a big factor at running back. There has been absolutely no indication that Chris Perry (ankle) is close to returning to practice and since he has yet to take a snap, you wonder if he’s a viable candidate to start the season on the physically unable to perform list (PUP) and miss the first six weeks.

Just wondering because head coach Marvin Lewis hasn’t said much about him. Lewis’ history here is to keep three running backs and a fullback, so what if Perry isn’t available?

They are certainly getting some nice work from their rookie free agents, Terrence Whitehead out of Oregon and DeDe Dorsey out of Lindenwood. Whitehead left Friday night with a toe injury, but Dorsey continues to flash. His 59-yard catch out of the backfield against the Bills shows why he may have an edge in a roster battle with guys like Quincy Wilson, himself a guy that always produces every time he runs the ball. Dorsey’s got the hands and they love guys that can catch it coming out of the backfield.

And even though Kenny Watson has been a bit dinged this summer, you have to feel there’s no way the coaches are going to cut his hands and professionalism. A bit crowded there, isn’t it, as Perry rehabs?

What a wasted draft pick for the Bengals...

It was questionable at the time, and even more questionable in hindsight...

Hope he gets healthy soon. I think he's one of the most talented running backs in the whole league. He could be perfect for the Cincy offense if he could stay healthy.

Agreed on Perry's skills and fit for the Bengals but his propensity for missing time is alarming. I am a U of M alum and can remember watching CP take an eternity to get up after every touch and wondering if he was constantly and repeatedly hurt or just enjoyed the drama of the slow rise ala Emmitt "Cheese" Smith... Thought it was the drama but I am beginning to believe he actually is wounded on every play. Sad.The pick seemed odd to me when Marv made it and as much as I wish it wasn't so, it could turn out to be a bad one.

Huh? Are you referring to Chris Henry or Chris Perry?
