Life in the NFL is not kind, as a career can end just as soon as it begins.
All was well with Paul Perkins just a year ago. He was atop on the New York Giants depth chart at running back, and many felt 2017 would be a breakout season for him.
He then suffered a pectoral injury prior to the Giants offseason organized team activities which required surgery. This led to the Giants waiving Perkins on Thursday with a non-football injury.
Perkins cleared waivers on Friday and remains on the Giants reserve/non-football injury list, but doesn’t count on the 90-man roster.
