Seahawks continue shuffle, place trio on injured reserve
The Seattle Seahawks have placed tight end Colby Parkinson, cornerback Tre Brown and cornerback Nigel Warrior on injured reserveSEPTEMBER 7, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Lands on IR The Seahawks placed Parkinson (foot) on injured reserve Tuesday, John Boyle of Seahawks.com reports.
Impact During training camp, Parkinson re-injured the same foot that kept him out of the majority of his rookie season, so it's no surprise that the Seahawks are being cautious to start the season. He will only have to miss the first three weeks of the 2021 campaign and will be eligible to return Week 4 if he is healthy.

Won't be ready to return this week Coach Pete Carroll said Monday that Parkinson (foot) won't be ready to return this week, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The Seahawks were hopeful they would get Parkinson back by the start of the regular season, but they will elect to be cautious, as he broke the same foot last year. Tyler Mabry has been promoted to the active roster ahead of Week 1 and will serve as the third tight end behind Will Dissly and Gerald Everett.

Hopeful for Week 1 Coach Pete Carroll said Sunday that Parkinson (foot) will run this week and that there's still hope he can be ready by Week 1, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Parkinson was slated to be the third tight end behind Will Dissly and Gerald Everett this season, and still will be if he is able to return for the regular season. However, the Seahawks are likely to be extra cautious, as the 22-year-old broke the same foot last year.

Uncertain for Week 1 Head coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday that Parkinson has a "real slight" nondisplaced fracture in his foot and remains uncertain for Week 2, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Carroll added we won't know for a while if Parkinson will be cleared for the season opener. In turn, the Seahawks added free agent TE Luke Willson for depth behind Gerald Everett and Will Dissly. The Seahawks will likely take a cautious approach with Parkinson -- who they selected in the fourth round of the 2020 draft -- because of the delicate nature of foot injuries. Once the 6-foot-7 tight end is cleared, he should claim the No. 3 role.

Receives encouraging news Parkinson won't require foot surgery and could return in a few weeks, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.
Impact The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end made a minimal impact last season, however, he was impressive in camp before re-injuring the foot that he broke last summer. Foot injuries are always tricky, but it's encouraging that Parkinson won't need surgery and could possibly be ready for Week 1. Even if he's ready for the season opener, he'll be stuck behind Gerald Everett and Will Dissly, so fantasy managers can safely leave him off their radar. Nevertheless, it's worth keeping tabs on his performance, as he could become useful in 2022 if Everett leaves in free agency.

Could return in a few weeks Parkinson (foot) could return to action in a matter of weeks, as his injury isn't expected to require surgery, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The 2020 fourth-round pick suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot last summer and spent the first half of his rookie season on the non-football injury list. He was activated at the end of October and barely played, but reports out of Seattle training camp this summer suggest Parkinson has looked much better heading into Year 2. That doesn't necessarily mean he'll have a role in the offense once he's healthy, but it does at least put him on track for a back-end roster spot. The latest issue with Parkinson's foot reportedly isn't too serious, despite initial concerns that it would require another surgery.
AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE
Another foot injury Parkinson is slated to miss time after re-injuring the foot he broke last season, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Impact It's a tough break for the tight end, who was having a strong summer, per Adam Jude of The Seattle Times. While it's clear that Parkinson -- who had been on track to slot in behind Will Dissly and Gerald Everett -- will be sidelined for some time, coach Pete Carroll relayed that the Seahawks plan to go "for multiple opinions on this one."

Logs eight snaps in finale Parkinson wasn't targeted in Sunday's 26-23 win over the Rams.
Impact Parkinson entered the lineup because Greg Olsen (foot) experienced a "flare up" and was inactive. The rookie fourth-round pick out of Stanford logged just eight snaps on offense. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end has played in six games this year, catching two passes for 16 yards. He'll likely be sidelined for Saturday's playoff game against the Rams if Olsen returns.

First NFL reception Parkinson caught both targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 40-3 win over the Jets.
Impact Parkinson caught both passes from Geno Smith, who relieved Russell Wilson near the end of the third quarter due to the blowout nature of the game. The rookie tight end also logged a season-high 19 snaps on offense. He nevertheless remains the odd man out behind Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister, and he could wind up in healthy scratch territory if Greg Olsen (foot) returns this year as planned.

Rarely utilized on offense Parkinson played just two snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-12 loss to the Giants.
Impact Despite Greg Olsen (foot) being placed on IR, Parkinson hasn't seen a meaningful increase in reps. He's played just 13 snaps on offense over the past two games, and he has yet to see his first NFL target.

Impact Parkinson missed the first six games of the season with a foot injury. He made his NFL debut in Week 8 against the 49ers, but the rookie fourth-round pick served as a healthy scratch in the last three games. Parkinson will slot in as the No. 3 tight end behind Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister moving forward. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end generated 77 receptions for 1,074 yards and eight touchdowns over 25 games between his final two collegiate seasons.

Sidelined for Sunday's game Parkinson (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact The rookie fourth-round pick out of Stanford made his NFL debut last week after rehabbing from a foot injury that kept him out of the first six games. Parkinson logged just three offensive snaps, though, and now he'll watch from the sidelines Sunday. The Seahawks will roll with Greg Olsen, Will Dissly and Jacob Hollister at tight end.

Activated from NFI list The Seahawks activated Parkinson (foot) from the non-football injury list Saturday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.
Impact The rookie fourth-round pick could be in line for his NFL debut Sunday against the 49ers, although there's a decent chance that he's a healthy scratch because four other tight ends are on the active roster. The 6-foot-7, 251-pound tight end posted a 48-589-1 line in his age-20 collegiate season at Stanford and is hoping to bring that production to Seattle, but barring an injury, he'll likely act as depth for the rest of the season with hopes of making a meaningful impact in 2021.
