The Rams didn't extend Perkins a qualifying offer or contract tender as a restricted free agent Wednesday, so he's officially an unrestricted free agent, per the NFL's transaction log.

Perkins completed 19 of 34 passes for 161 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions, and added 19 rushing attempts for 90 yards during the 2022 season.

Perkins is listed as active Thursday versus the Raiders, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Coach Sean McVay named John Wolford the Rams' starting quarterback for Sunday's game versus the Seahawks, but Perkins also has "a chance" play, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Perkins completed 13 of 23 passes for 100 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions during Sunday's 26-10 loss to Kansas City. He added 44 rushing yards on nine carries.

Rams head coach Sean McVay confirmed Perkins received the first-team reps in practice this week, but he wouldn't say whether Perkins or John Wolford would receive the starting assignment at quarterback for Sunday's game in Kansas City, Jourdan Rodrigue of The Athletic reports.

Perkins will take most of the QB snaps in practice this week with Matthew Stafford (neck) ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chiefs and John Wolford (neck) uncertain to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Perkins is expected to take first-team reps at quarterback and potentially start Sunday's road matchup against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
