Parker has emerged as Detroit's top option at nickelback, Justin Rogers of The Detroit News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Parker impressed enough in the preseason to make the Lions feel comfortable about letting go of both Nickell Robey-Coleman and Corn Elder. The undrafted Kansas State product could handle a large portion of the available defensive snaps from the jump.

Parker has worked himself into a significant role within the Lions' defense, Tim Twentyman of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The undrafted rookie had reportedly earned first-team reps at nickel corner over the past couple of weeks before earning the start during Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers. Considering Detroit played every other member of its starting secondary, Parker indeed seems to be in the Lions' plans on defense this year.
