The Facts: A flare-up this week to the hip injury that knocked him out for the majority of last season prevented Perry from playing in a Friday scrimmage, but the third-year player isn't worried about the situation. "I haven't had any pain in my hip; everything has been good," Perry said. "[The medical staff was] just taking some precautions because they thought they might have felt something that wasn't there."

Diehards Line:As noted in a previous item, Perry went to Nashville on Thursday and met with Dr. Thomas Byrd for a checkup. He had a MRI taken in Nashville. "Everything turned out negative, but just to make them feel better they wanted to take some precautionary measures. I'm trying to fight them about it," said Perry, a prime candidate to serve as the team's third receiver while Chris Henry serves an 8-game suspension.
