Snags one pass in loss Parkinson caught one of three targets for five yards in Saturday's 32-25 preseason loss to the Steelers.

Impact Parkinson led all Seahawks tight ends with 34 offensive snaps, as Will Dissly got the night off and Noah Fant was limited to 20 snaps. The 2020 fourth-round pick was targeted in the end zone in the third quarter but was unable to hang on as he was hit by multiple defenders while attempting to make the catch. Parkinson has a good chance to make the roster as the No. 3 tight end behind Fant and Dissly, as his unique 6-foot-7 build makes him an intriguing red-zone target.

Seahawks position review: One-and-done for tight end Gerald Everett? Is Colby Parkinson ready to take a major leap forward? Gerald Everett’s pass-catching numbers were the most by a Seahawks tight end since Jimmy Graham’s departure after the 2017 season.

JANUARY 28, 2022 • SEATTLETIMES.COM

Just five catches in second season Parkinson caught five passes (eight targets) for 33 yards over 14 games during the 2021 season.

Impact Parkinson re-injured his foot in August and ended up missing the first three games of the season as a result. He rarely played when both Gerald Everett and Will Dissly were healthy, as he averaged just four offensive snaps between Weeks 6 and 15. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end was decently productive in college but simply hasn't made an impact at the NFL level. Both Everett and Dissly will be free agents in March. Dissly will likely stick around, but a pass-catching role could open up if Everett walks. Parkinson will likely face competition in training camp regardless.

Receives one target Parkinson didn't catch his lone target in Sunday's 25-24 loss to the Bears.

Impact Even with Will Dissly in COVID-19 protocol, Parkinson couldn't get anything going offensively. The 2020 fourth-round pick will continue to work as a specialist once Dissly returns to the lineup.

DECEMBER 27, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Just four snaps Parkinson didn't receive a target in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Steelers.

Impact Parkinson played just four snaps on offense because both Gerald Everett and Will Dissly were active. As long Dissly and Everett are healthy, Parkinson will likely handle a limited role on offense.

Catches first pass of season Parkinson caught one pass (two targets) for one yard in Thursday's 26-17 loss to the Rams.

Impact Parkinson logged 35 of 65 offensive snaps with Gerald Everett (COVID-19 protocol) out of the lineup, but he didn't make much of an impact in the passing game. Everett should be back in the lineup Week 6 against the Steelers, so Parkinson will move back to the No. 3 tight end role.

Makes season debut Parkinson didn't receive a target in Sunday's 28-21 win over the 49ers.

Impact Parkinson logged 38 of 56 offensive snaps (68 percent) because Gerald Everett was on the COVID-19 list. The 22-year-old tight end drew high praise from head coach Pete Carroll during training camp before suffering a foot injury. However, his role this season will likely be minimal once Everett returns.

Added to active roster The Seahawks activated Parkinson (foot) from injured reserve Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Impact Parkinson was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday and will be active against the 49ers on Sunday. The 22-year-old tight end battled his foot injury throughout his rookie season, so it's unclear what type of role he can play for Seattle's offense. With Gerald Everett (illness) likely unavailable Sunday, Parkinson will be needed for depth behind Will Dissly and Tyler Mabry.

Expects to return Week 4 Parkinson (foot) is expected to return from the Seahawks' injured reserve and suit up for Sunday's matchup with the 49ers, Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio 950 KJR Seattle reports.

Impact While the expectation is that he will return, Parkinson hasn't officially been activated yet. With Gerald Everett (illness) likely unavailable, Parkinson would provide depth at tight end behind Will Dissly and Tyler Mabry if ultimately given the green light.

OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Nearing return Parkinson (foot) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

Impact Parkinson has battled the same foot injury for much of his professional career, as he was sidelined until Week 8 of the 2020 campaign with a broken bone in his foot. He suffered the same injury Aug. 13 in the same foot and landed on injured reserve about three weeks later. Parkinson can now return to practice and must be activated within 21 days.
