The New York Giants announced Thursday that they’ve placed RB Paul Perkins on waivers with a non-football injury designation.
According to the Giants, Perkins suffered a pectoral injury prior to the start of the team’s offseason conditioning program and subsequently underwent surgery.
Should Perkins clear waivers on Friday, he would revert to the Giants injured reserve list.
Perkins, 23, is a former fifth-round pick of the Giants back in 2016. He’s currently in the third year of his four-year, $2.59 million contract and set to make base salaries of $630,000 and $720,000 over the final two years of the agreement.
In 2017, Perkins appeared in 11 games for the Giants and rushed for 90 yards on 41 carries (2.2 YPC) to go along with eight receptions for 46 yards receiving and no touchdowns.
