La'Mical Perine News
Kansas City Chiefs running back La'Mical Perine shouldered a bell-cow role in Week 18's regular-season finale as the team topped the Los Angeles Chargers 13-12, carrying the ball 21 times for 76 yards with three catches for 33 yards. Isiah Pacheco (quadriceps/shoulder) was inactive for Sunday's date, as the Chiefs rested their top playmakers ahead of the postseason, and Perine handled the interim lead-back role fairly well. Clyde Edwards-Helaire made a brief cameo early in the game for three touches before joining the key producers on the sidelines. The 25-year-old former New York Jet is settled in as K.C.'s No. 3 tailback with Jerick McKinnon (groin) on injured reserve but would likely only be called upon during the playoffs in the event of an injury to Pacheco or Edwards-Helaire, so he won't be fantasy relevant on Saturday versus the Miami Dolphins for Wild Card play.
The Kansas City Chiefs signed running back La'Mical Perine to a Reserve/Futures Deal on Wednesday. The team also signed Kendall Blanton, Dicaprio Bootle, Matt Bushman, Mike Caliendo, Cole Christiansen, Jerrion Early, Chris Oladokun, Cornell Powell, Austin Reiter, Danny Shelton and Ihmir Smith-Marsette. The 25-year-old Perine didn't sign to Kansas City's practice squad until last month, and he didn't see any playing time in a game. The former fourth-rounder by the New York Jets in 2020 has played in two seasons with New York, carrying the ball 72 times for 263 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (zero starts). Sixty four of his 72 carries came in his rookie campaign. Perine will give the Chiefs more depth at the position heading into the 2023 season.
The Houston Texans tried out free-agent running back La'Mical Perine on Wednesday. Perine landed with the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason after he was waived by the New York Jets, but he was then released from Philly's practice squad just last week. The 24-year-old former fourth-rounder received 72 carries for 263 yards and two touchdowns while adding 11 receptions on 15 targets for 63 yards through the air in his two seasons with the Jets. If Perine were to land in Houston, he'd serve as running back depth behind rookie Dameon Pierce, veteran Rex Burkhead and Dare Ogunbowale.
