Coach Dennis Allen said the Saints are still waiting on Perry to step up and make some plays this summer, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Allen's assessment was less than glowing, to put it politely. He said Perry has been "fine" during training camp and is "talented enough to make the team" but needs to show it more often on the practice field. There's been some thought Perry could step in as a regular starter for the receiver-needy Saints after his late-season cameo as a rookie in 2023, but Allen's comments make it sound like he's fighting for a roster spot. Cedrick Wilson, Equanimeous St. Brown, Bub Means and Mason Tipton are the other main candidates for snaps behind starters Chris Olave (hip) and Rashid Shaheed.
