Perillo was waived by the Bears on Monday, Brad Briggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo spent the first three years of his career with Green Bay before signing with the Bears this offseason. Chicago has six other tight ends on the roster and no longer had a need for Perillo, who will look to catch on with another team in 2017.

Perillo signed a contract with the Bears on Friday, Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo spent his first three seasons in Green Bay before receiving his walking papers last November. Staying within the division, he now joins a crowded Bears tight end corps that's already five-deep at the position.

Perillo was released by the Packers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo totaled 35 yards across four receptions for Green Bay this season. His release likely implies No. 1 tight end Jared Cook (ankle) will be ready to go Sunday against the Redskins.

Perillo caught two passes for 18 yards in Sunday's loss to the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The two receptions -- and in turn, targets -- along with the 18 yards were season highs for Perillo, but they were also his first offensive statistics since Week 6. He will remain the backup tight end behind Richard Rodgers until Jared Cook (ankle) is able to return, at which point he will slide down a spot on the depth chart and serve as the Packers' No. 3 tight end.

Perillo caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo has operated as the Packers' backup tight end while Jared Cook (ankle) has been sidelined, but he is playing only a bit role in the Packers' offense: Sunday's reception was the only one he has recorded in the two games Cook has been ruled out of.

Perillo caught one pass for 13 yards in Sunday's victory over the Lions.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo played sparingly over the Packers' first two games, but he saw extra opportunities Sunday after Jared Cook left the game with a foot injury. It's not clear if Cook will miss more time with his setback, but if he does, Perillo would work as the Packers' No. 2 tight end behind Richard Rodgers.

Perillo (knee) is active for Sunday's contest at Jacksonville, Duke Bobber of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo followed up DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday with a limited showing Friday, clearing the way for active status in Week 1. Working behind Jared Cook and Richard Rodgers, Perillo likely won't earn more than a handful of snaps in the opener.

Perillo (knee) is questionable to play Week 1 against the Jaguars, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo went down in practice Wednesday, but the nature of his knee injury remains unclear. If he's ultimately unable to play, Jared Cook and Richard Rodgers will likely handle the entirety of tight end snaps for the Packers come Sunday.

Perillo did not take part in Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's not clear what type of setback Perillo is dealing with or how long it will keep him sidelined, but it puts his status for Week 1 in question. The Packers currently only have three tight ends on their 53-man roster, but they did sign tight end Devon Cajuste to the practice squad Wednesday for added depth.

Perillo caught two passes for nine yards in Friday's exhibition game with the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Perillo did not make a major impact on Thursday's game, but he has played well this preseason. He competed against Kennard Backman this preseason for the third tight end spot on the Packers' roster, but following Backman's release Tuesday, Perillo is primed to come away with the job.
