Bruce Perry (born March 22, 1981) is a National Football League running back who was just released by the Philadelphia Eagles (on January 2nd, 2007) to make room for veteran quarterback Koy Detmer's return to the team after spending the entire season doing nothing at home.
He was drafted by The Eagles in the 7th round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve. Though he played well in the 2005 pre-season, he was placed on the practice squad. He was activated late in the season and saw his first start in the final game of the regular season.
Perry appeared in the 2006 pre-season and sustained a serious concussion in the game. Even though Perry made the team, he was converted to cornerback and then was cut in September when the Eagles signed veteran Dexter Wynn for depth at cornerback. The team resigned Perry to the practice squad.
Perry who wore the #35 jersey for 2 years as an Eagles was released on January 2, 2007.
