Parker (knee) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who was inactive for the Patriots' win over the Steelers on Dec. 7, approached the contest listed as questionable after practicing in a limited fashion Wednesday through Friday. In addition to Parker returning to the lineup Sunday, Demario Douglas (concussion) is also back in action, with fellow WRs Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) and Jalen Reagor also on hand. With a 22/264/0 receiving line on 39 targets in nine games to date, Parker profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy option in Week 15.

Parker (knee) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker is officially listed as questionable but considered likely to play Sunday, while fellow wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) isn't expected to suit up. On a positive note for the Patriots' receiving corps, rookie Demario Douglas is set to return he field after having missed the past two games with a concussion. Official confirmation of Parker's availability will come when New England releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Parker (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

EDGE Analysis

Parker got in a week of limited practices, but he did the same last week before being deemed inactive for Week 14 against the Steelers. He's likely to be a game-time call. Along with Parker, JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) also are listed as questionable. The good news for New England is that Demario Douglas is in line to be back this week after missing two games with a concussion.

Parker (knee) remained limited during Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Following back-to-back limited sessions, Parker -- who was inactive Week 14 -- could potentially return to action Sunday against the Chiefs, but he may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid a Week 15 injury designation. The same applies to fellow WRs Demario Douglas (concussion), JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle), Tyquan Thornton (hamstring) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder), all of whom also were deemed limited Thursday.

Parker (knee) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Parker was inactive for last Thursday's 21-18 win over the Steelers, but the veteran wideout's ability to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday suggests that he has a chance to return to action Sunday against the Chiefs. He was one of four Patriots receivers listed as limited Wednesday, with Demario Douglas (concussion), JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) also joining him in on the Week 15 injury report.

Parker (knee) is inactive for Thursday night's game against the Steelers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who was listed as a limited participant on practice reports Monday through Wednesday, approached the contest listed as questionable, and he'll sit this one out along with Demario Douglas (concussion) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder). In his absence, JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle), Tyquan Thornton, Jalen Reagor and Malik Cunningham are available to handle New England's WR duties versus Pittsburgh. Parker now will target a potential return to action Sunday, Dec. 17 against the Chiefs.

Parker (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game at Pittsburgh.

EDGE Analysis

The Patriots listed him as a limited participant Monday through Wednesday, making Parker more likely than not to play. He led the team with nine targets and 64 receiving yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, stepping up as the de facto No. 1 WR with Demario Douglas inactive due to a concussion. Douglas and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) both have been ruled out again, while JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) also is listed as questionable after three straight days being listed as a limited participant. QB Bailey Zappe won't have much to work with Thursday night, and the running game is missing its engine with RB Rhamondre Stevenson ruled out due to a high ankle sprain.

Parker (knee) was listed as limited on Tuesday's injury report.

EDGE Analysis

Meanwhile, both JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) and Kayshon Boutte (shoulder) received the same listing, while Demario Douglas continued to sit out due to the concussion that he suffered Week 12. The trio not named Douglas thus seem to have a chance to play Thursday in Pittsburgh, and Wednesday's practice report will reveal who among them is cleared for action or instead has a designation for that contest.

Parker (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimate.

EDGE Analysis

Parker led the Patriots in targets (nine) and receiving yards (64) in this past Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers, but he's nursing a knee injury in the aftermath of that strong performance. Fellow wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (ankle) also was listed as limited on Monday's estimate, while Demario Douglas (concussion) was a non-participant. With Douglas potentially unable to suit up Thursday in Pittsburgh, Parker could remain the team's top wide receiver if he's able to shed this knee injury.

Parker caught four of nine targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 6-0 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

With fellow wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) sidelined, Parker worked as the top target for new starting quarterback Bailey Zappe. Parker led the team in targets and receiving yards while accounting for nearly half of Zappe's 141 passing yards. The veteran wideout just missed getting his feet down along the sideline on a deep ball on New England's final drive, but Parker still finished with his highest yardage total of the season. Parker should remain featured in New England's low-octane passing game Thursday against the Steelers.
