Samaje Perine Sustains High-Ankle Sprain, Expected to Miss Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine sustained a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 47-42 loss to the Bears, a significant setback confirmed by head coach Zac Taylor. According to Jay Morrison of SI.com, Perine will require a recovery period of "a couple of weeks" to mend from the injury. This diagnosis means the Bengals will be without Perine's services for the immediate future, impacting their backfield depth and potentially forcing other players into larger roles during his absence.
