Chris Perry's career apparently NOT over

Submitted by MGoPHILLY on

PFT is reporting that Chris Perry is presently expected to rejoin his UFL team. 

Apparently his mother recently passed away and Chris' roster cut was a formality since he has yet to report to camp.  The team expects him to report.

Sorry to hear about his mother, but I am glad that his career is most likely not over.

That's really too bad.  I remember that OSU game (who doesn't?) and he had that arm-band that said "MOM" on it.  And it was kind of a story for the team that year because she had survived breast cancer.  Really sad.

Terrible to hear about his mother. I remember she was a huge inspiration for Chris and hearing about the story during the 2003 season. I am glad to hear that his career is not over, and I wish him the best. He is one of my favorites.

both the good news and the bad news.  So sad to hear about his Mom, not only because she was so significant in his success at Michigan, but nice to know his dream isn't over.  No doubt she'll continue to inspire him.
