Perriman was inactive for Monday night's 31-14 wild-card loss to the Cowboys and finished the 2022 regular season with nine receptions (19 targets) for 110 yards and a touchdown, two rushes for minus-7 yards and two fumbles (one lost) across 11 games.
What it means:
The veteran speedster putt together a second consecutive modest season in Tampa Bay, and his inactive status for Monday night's loss was fitting considering he was a healthy scratch for five of the last seven contests overall. Perriman, an impending free agent once again, doesn't figure to command anything more than the veteran minimum on the open market, so it's conceivable he could make a return to the Buccaneers as a depth option for his age-29 season.
Perriman brought in one of two targets for nine yards in the Buccaneers' 30-17 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
What it means:
Perriman made his first appearance on the stat sheet since Week 9 while seeing highest allotment of playing time from scrimmage since Week 3, 31 snaps. The veteran wideout may not even garner active status in next Monday night's wild-card matchup against the Cowboys if recent history is any indication, however, as he was left off the gameday roster in four of the last six regular-season contests.
Perriman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 17 clash against the Panthers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
What it means:
The veteran wideout continues to be left off the active roster in favor of fellow speedster Scotty Miller, who'll once again serve as the No. 5 wideout Sunday versus Carolina. Perriman's final chance to garner active status during the regular season comes in next Sunday's Week 18 road matchup versus the Falcons.
Perriman (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports.
What it means:
Perriman won't suit up for a third straight game despite being healthy. It appears Deven Thompkins, who's mostly operated as a return man, has surpassed Perriman on the depth chart, though Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Julio Jones, Russell Gage and Scotty Miller figure to continue dominating the wideout snaps.
Perriman (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Sunday's game versus the 49ers.
What it means:
Perriman has totaled two receptions (on five targets) for 12 yards since Week 6, and he will now be ruled a healthy scratch for the second game in a row. With the Buccaneers' receiving corps back at full health, it's possible that Deven Thompkins could see an increased role after being elevated from the practice squad Saturday.
Perriman (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Monday's game against the Saints.
What it means:
Perriman caught just two of four targets while playing 51 offensive snaps with Russell Gage (hamstring) sidelined for the last four games. With Gage back in action Week 13, it appears Perriman has found himself as the odd man out in Tampa Bay's wide receiver depth chart. His next chance to play will come against the 49ers on Sunday, though, barring injuries to Tampa Bay's other wideouts, he's unlikely to see much usage moving forward.
