Perry had six tackles (all solo) and three sacks in Sunday's victory over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Perry had not recorded more than 1.0 sacks in a game since Week 1, but he produced in a big way Sunday, and is now up to seven sacks in eight games this season.

Perry recorded three tackles (two solo) and a sack Sunday against the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
Perry isn't logging a full snap count, but he's still clearly a centerpiece of this struggling Packers' defense. It's tough to see Perry as a long-term IDP threat, though, due to his low tackle count. When the matchup is against a poor offensive line, Perry can blossom into a decent asset with his pass-rush presence.

Perry logged three tackles (one solo) to go along with one sack, one forced fumble, and one fumble recovery in Sunday's win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Perry sacked Dak Prescott to close out the first half, which resulted in a fumble that was recovered by the Cowboys. The 27-year-old saw 48 snaps (65.0%), which was a slight increase from the previous week.

Perry (hand) posted four tackles (three solo) in Thursday's win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Perry returned to the Packers' defensive front Thursday after missing one game following hand surgery, but he played in just 33 of the team's 67 defensive snaps. The team likely was remaining cautious as they eased the linebacker back onto the field, and Perry should see that snap count increase next week as he gets healthier.

Perry (hand) is listed as active Thursday against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was one of two defensive players -- also, Mike Daniels (hip) -- to be listed as questionable for Week 4, but full practices Tuesday and Wednesday likely placed him more in the now-nonexistent "probable" category. With the Packers' pass rush close to full capacity, Perry will now take aim at Chicago quarterback Mike Glennon, who has been sacked seven times in three games this season.

Perry (hand) is listed as questionable for Thursday's contest versus the Bears, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
If he takes the field in Week 4, Perry will be donning a club for the second time in as many seasons, only this time on his right hand. In five games following his return in 2016, including playoffs, Perry racked up 11 tackles, among them four sacks.

Perry (hand) was a full participant in practice Tuesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry was limited in Monday's session, so his upgraded status for Tuesday's practice suggests he's on track to return to the field Thursday against the Bears following a one-week absence. Since the linebacker required surgery to address a broken right hand, he'll have to play with a club on his hand the next several weeks, but it's not expected to dramatically impact his productivity as a pass rusher.

Perry (hand) rejoined the Packers for practice Tuesday, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers haven't released their official practice report Tuesday, so the extent of Perry's involvement in the session is unclear. He was spotted with a club over his fractured right hand, which required surgery last week. Perry required a similar procedure last season and was able to return to game action two weeks later, so it's unclear if he'll be able to beat that timetable this time around and play Thursday against the Bears. Perry ended up sitting out the Week 3 win over the Bengals, resulting in Ahmad Brooks taking on an increased role at outside linebacker.

Perry (hand) is listed as inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Perry underwent surgery on his hand this week so there wasn't much optimism about his availability. However, Perry will now focus on getting healthy for a Thursday night matchup with the Bears, but he should be considered a long shot to play considering the short week.

Perry (hand) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The doubtful tag is a bit surprising with Perry undergoing surgery on his hand this week. The former first-round pick isn't expected to face an extended absence, but his status with a Thursday game next week isn't exactly optimistic.
