DEVANTE PARKER NEWS

Back at practice Parker (knee) has returned to practice, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact Parker sat out New England's Week 9 win over the Colts, but a well-timed bye Week 10 seemingly has helped him recover. Whether the veteran wide receiver will be available Sunday against the Jets likely will come down to his level of participation in practice as the week unfolds.

Won't play Sunday Parker (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact With Parker unavailable versus Indianapolis, Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor are candidates to see added opportunities Sunday alongside top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers. Parker will now target a potential return to action (following the Patriots' bye week) on Nov. 20 against the Jets.

Not spotted at practice Friday Parker (knee) wasn't present for Friday's practice, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact After also sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday, Parker looks pretty iffy for Sunday's game against the Colts. If he ends up being ruled out for the contest, Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor would be candidates to see added Week 9 snaps alongside top wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.

Still not practicing Parker (knee) remained absent from practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Impact Though the knee sprain Parker suffered Week 8 isn't believed to be serious, back-to-back missed practices cloud the wideout's status for Sunday's game against the Colts. If Parker is unable to suit up this weekend, Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor would be candidates to see added opportunities alongside top WR Jakobi Meyers.

Misses practice Wednesday Parker (knee) wasn't present for Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Parker suffered a sprained knee during this past Sunday's win over the Jets, so his absence from Wednesday's practice isn't surprising. Though Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously reported that the wideout avoided a serious injury, Parker's status for this weekend's game against the Colts is cloudy. If he ends up sitting out the contest ahead of the Patriots' Week 10 bye, Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor would be candidates to see added snaps alongside No. 1 wideout Jakobi Meyers.

Patriots WR DeVante Parker Injury Status Revealed; Out Against Colts? Parker suffered a knee injury during the first quarter of New England’s Week 8 victory over the New York Jets.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Avoids major injury Parker (knee) suffered a sprain during Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets and is not expected to miss extended time, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Parker would be expected to miss only one game if he does miss time, per Rapoport, as the Patriots will have a bye following Week 9's matchup against Indianapolis. Whether or not Parker does miss Week 9 will likely come down to what he's able to do in practices this week, so the 29-year-old wideout's situation will warrant monitoring. Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne would stand to handle increased work behind Jakobi Meyers if Parker can't suit up versus the Colts.

Impact Parker suffered a knee injury on the Patriots' first offensive play and was quickly deemed questionable to return. The veteran receiver was ruled out during halftime and won't return to Sunday's contest. In Parker's absence, Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Kendrick Bourne will operate as Mac Jones' top wideouts.

Leads way again Parker recorded three receptions on five targets for 68 yards in Monday's 33-14 loss to the Bears.

Impact Even with Nelson Agholor back in the mix and Tyquan Thornton claiming a bigger role in the New England offense, Parker led the Patriots' receiving corps with 68 yards. He did his damage primarily on contested jump balls, highlighted by a 43-yard gain midway through the second quarter to set up a touchdown for Rhamondre Stevenson. With several quality options among the team's receiver corps, it's difficult to project consistent volume for Parker, though he now has at least five targets and 60 yards in each of his last two games.

Team-high yardage total in win Parker secured four of six targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Impact The veteran was one of several Patriots pass catchers to record a reception of over 20 yards and led the team in yardage overall. Parker's performance was an especially welcome sight after he was blanked over 28 snaps while also working with Bailey Zappe as his quarterback against the Lions in Week 5, and he'll now potentially have an opportunity to once again work in tandem with Mac Jones (ankle) in a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Bears.

Logs 31 snaps in Week 5 Parker, who was on the field for 31 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest.

Impact According to Nick O'Malley of masslive.com, both times Parker was the intended target Sunday, Detroit was flagged for pass interference. Five games into the current campaign, Parker has only been targeted more than twice one time, back in Week 3 when he recorded a 5/156/0 stat line on 10 targets. Until the 29-year-old begins to log steady volume, he'll continue to be a hit-or-miss fantasy option regardless of whether Week 5 starter Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) is under center for the Patriots.
