Tahj Brooks played for the Bengals' first five drives versus Chicago. The good news for Brooks is that he out-snapped all other Cincy backs 26-9 and then left the game for good. Brooks turned five touches into 36 yards. Perine is the clear RB2 and should have a stand-alone role after Chase Brown gets his touches. If Chase Brown were to miss time, Perine would likely split work with Brooks.
