Full participant Wednesday Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Parham (hamstring) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice, Bridget Condon of NFL Network reports.

Impact Parham logged his first full practice Friday ahead of Week 4, but the team opted to still keep the tight end sidelined for the Chargers' win over the Texans out of an abundance of caution. Barring any setbacks, it appears Parham will make his season debut in Week 5 against the Browns, but it's unclear what his role will be. Gerald Everett has emerged as Los Angeles' top tight end, but Parham figures to carve out a role ahead of Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers.

Remains out Parham (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Texans, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Parham was able to log a full practice Friday, but considering the time he has missed, the Chargers will make him wait at least one more week to return. In his absence, Gerald Everett will continue to operate as team's No. 1 tight end, while Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers provide depth.

Iffy for Week 4 Parham (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Texans.

Impact Parham is still looking to make his season debut while dealing with a hamstring injury he suffered in early August. However, he appears to be getting close to making his return to game action after logging his first full practice Friday. In his absence, Gerald Everett has emerged as the top tight end, but Parham, who's caught 30 passes for 349 yards and six touchdowns across his first two NFL seasons, will likely carve out a role when he gets back to full strength.

Limited in practice Wednesday Parham (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on the Chargers' injury report Wednesday.

Impact Parham has yet to play this season after picking up a hamstring injury in early August. The tight end appeared to be working his way back after logging three limited practices in Week 3, but he was ultimately downgraded to doubtful and ruled inactive once again. Parham will have two more practices to improve his status before this Sunday's game against the Texans.

Out Sunday Parham (hamstring) is inactive Sunday against the Jaguars.

Impact Parham practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, but the third-year-pro will have to wait another week to potentially make his season debut. In his absence, Tre' McKitty and Richard Rodgers will continue to see an increase in snaps. Parham will work to return in Week 4 against the Texans.

Now doubtful for Week 3 The Chargers downgraded Parham's (hamstring) status for Sunday's game versus Jacksonville to doubtful Saturday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Parham practiced in a limited capacity this week and appeared to be trending in the right direction, but it appears he'll now have to wait until Week 4 at Houston to make his 2022 debut. Assuming he can't go, Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty should continue to see most of the work at tight end for the Chargers.

Questionable for Week 3 Parham (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact Parham logged three limited practices Wednesday-Friday and has a chance to make his season debut Sunday. If available, Parham figures to garner a solid role next to newcomer Gerald Everett, who's caught nine of 14 targets for 125 yards and a score through his first two games with the Chargers.

Considered day-to-day Chargers head coach Brandon Staley said Tuesday that Parham (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Parham has yet to suit up this season due to a lingering left hamstring injury. In his absence, Tre' McKitty has operated as the No. 2 tight end behind Gerald Everett, who's caught nine of 14 targets for 125 yards and a touchdown over the first two games of the season.

Out another week Parham (hamstring) will miss another week, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Parham won't practice this week and will sit out a third straight preseason game when the Chargers face the Saints on Friday. Early reports suggested he'd miss about a week after injuring his hamstring Aug. 6, but he's now missing a third consecutive week of practice. If this lingers into the regular season, Gerald Everett and Tre' McKitty could pick up a few more TE snaps, while likely No. 3 receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) could play a bit more as well.

'Week-to-week' with hamstring issue Chargers head coach Brandon Staley called Parham "week-to-week" Wednesday due to the hamstring injury the tight end suffered during practice Aug. 6, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact At the time Parham sustained the injury, Staley noted that the 25-year-old would sit out for roughly one week of practice. Nearly a week and a half later, though, Staley clarified the situation, noting that the Chargers are just being "patient" with Parham, who is being classified as "more week-to-week than day-to-day." Considering those comments, Parham is in line to miss a second straight preseason contest Saturday against the Cowboys, giving him just one opportunity (Aug. 26 in New Orleans) to get in some game action before Week 1.

AUGUST 17, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Likely out a week Parham is dealing with a hamstring injury that likely will force him to miss approximately a week of practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Parham went down with an apparent leg injury during Saturday's practice, and coach Brandon Staley clarified Sunday that the tight end is dealing with a hamstring issue. The Chargers have their first preseason game Saturday, Aug. 13 against the Rams, and it certainly seems possible that Parham will be kept off the field. If the 24-year-old ultimately is sidelined, Tre' McKitty (undisclosed) and Hunter Kampmoyer could see increased looks versus the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Injures leg Parham injured his left leg during Saturday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear how serious the injury might be, but Parham ultimately never returned to Saturday's practice and was spotted with the back of his upper left leg heavily wrapped. Expect an update from the Chargers on the tight end's status in the coming days.

Looking good at camp Parham is having a "great" training camp, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Impact The 6-foot-8 tight end is again making his case for a prominent role, though offseason signing Gerald Everett still figures to get most of the snaps on third downs and other passing situations. While he has six TDs among his 30 catches in two NFL seasons, Parham isn't likely to see enough volume to go with the splash plays unless Everett misses time.
