Eagles Rumors: Ex-Ravens WR Breshad Perriman Working Out for Philly

The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly working out former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. 

Perriman, 25, was cut by the Ravens on Sept. 1. In 27 career games for the team, he caught just 43 passes for 576 yards and three scores. 

Injuries have defined Perriman's young career. The No. 26 overall draft pick missed his entire rookie campaign with a PCL knee injury, while a hamstring injury slowed him down in the 2017 preseason. He played just 11 games last season.

Once the Ravens upgraded their passing attack in the offseason, adding wideouts Michael Crabtree and John Brown and rookie tight ends Hayden Hurst and Mark Andrews, Perriman became expendable. While Perriman's size (6'2") and speed (4.24-second 40-yard dash at his pro day) have always made him an intriguing prospect, his inability to carve out a role with the Ravens has left him fighting for his NFL life. 

Given Perriman's raw athleticism, however, it wouldn't be surprising if another team gave him a shot. Along with the Eagles, the Minnesota Vikings reportedly worked out Perriman, per ESPN.com's Courtney Cronin.

For a team seeking a vertical threat to stretch the field, Perriman could be a reclamation project worth investing in. With Alshon Jeffery still sidelined with a shoulder injury in Philadelphia, Perriman would make sense for the Eagles if they're seeking additional depth at the position.
