A 2015 Pro Bowl selection for his play on special teams, Peerman is entering his eighth season and could find himself battling for a roster spot with the emergence of Tra Carson, an undrafted player from Texas A&M who spent 2016 on the Bengals practice squad.
Carson was impressive in Friday night’s 23-13 win against Tampa Bay, carrying eight times for 32 yards in addition to turning a screen pass into a 23-yard gain for the team’s longest reception of the game.
Activating Peerman means there is only one Bengals player yet to practice — rookie sixth-round pick Brandon Wilson, who has been battling a knee injury since OTAs.
