Perriman also practiced on Thursday after dealing with a sprained knee that he suffered on the first day of training camp. Zrebiec reported Thursday that Perriman will not play on Sunday, and a likely return date is Oct. 11 vs. the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy impact: The desperate Ravens can’t get Perriman back into action fast enough. However, he will need plenty of reps before they consider putting him into their huddle. Perriman has missed nearly the entire summer of his first professional training camp, and he needs to earn a certain level of trust with the coaches despite his first-round pedigree.
Perriman remains a stash option for fantasy leagues of all formats, and should start opposite Steve Smith once he gets up to speed. Expect the swift rookie to draw several deep targets from big-armed Joe Flacco in a role similar to Torrey Smith in previous seasons.
