Chris Perry Factor

The Bengals have some rare good news on the injury front this week: the return of RB Chris Perry from injury. If Perry is healthy and knocks off the rust quickly, he will be a huge addition to the offense. Cincinnati is 26th in the league in 3rd down conversion (32.3% converted), and that is where Perry generally makes his hay, both as a receiver out of the backfield and in pass protection. The Bengals will also need to split him out as a receiver to make up for the absence of Kelly Washington (knee), Tab Perry (hip) and Chris Henry (felon).
