Chase Brown continued splitting reps with Samaje Perine, just like he did over the second half of the 2025 season. Brown saw nine snaps to Perine's four. They both ran three routes but Perine was targeted twice while Brown did not see a look in the passing game, though he did log five carries to Perine's one. Brown averaged 22.3 points per game over that stretch.

Brown maintains snap/carry advantage over Perine despite passing game gap.

Brown continued splitting reps with Samaje Perine in Cincinnati's preseason opener, just like he did over the second half of the 2025 season. Brown saw nine snaps to Perine's four and logged five carries to Perine's one, but did not see a target in the passing game while Perine was targeted twice. The source notes this split wasn't an issue for Brown last year when Perine was healthy from Week 13 onward, as Brown averaged 22.3 points per game over that stretch.
