Jets' La'Mical Perine: Back practicing, but status TBD

Perine (ankle) has resumed practicing with the team, but coach Adam Gase was non-committal Thursday regarding when he expects the running back to return to game action, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

Perine was designated to return from injured reserve Dec. 16; however, he was deemed inactive for last Sunday's 23-20 upset of the Rams. The Florida product has a chance to play Week 16 against the Browns, but at this point, his status is very much up in the air. Perine has registered a couple of blips on the fantasy radar this season, scoring touchdowns Weeks 7 and 11, but the 22-year-old has only exceeded 40 scrimmage yards in a game once all season.
