Parker (undisclosed) missed practice Thursday, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

The report notes that Parker also missed Wednesday's session, but added that the wideout is believed to be "fine," per a league source. Assuming Parker's unspecified issue doesn't linger, the 2015 first-rounder is poised to serve as a key passing target for the Patriots this coming season while working alongside fellow WRs JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne. During the 2022 campaign, his first with New England, Parker hauled in 31 of his 47 targets for 539 yards and three touchdowns in 13 games. Those are numbers he has the ability to improve on in 2023 if he can continue to build chemistry with QB Mac Jones while also avoiding missing extended time due to injuries.

Parker and the Patriots reached an agreement on a three-year extension worth up to $33 million Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who had one year remaining on his current deal, appeared in 13 games for the Patriots last season and caught 31 of 47 targets for 539 yards and three touchdowns, but his overall stats were boosted by a stellar 6-79-2 line in Week 18. The 2015 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy since his career year with Miami in 2019, but when available, he's still able to make an impact. New England's wideout corps lost Jakobi Meyers this offseason but added JuJu Smith-Schuster, so Parker's role shouldn't change much in 2023.

Parker had six catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.

EDGE Analysis

Parker's two-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter tied the score at 14 apiece. He added a 26-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to pull the Patriots within five, but New England couldn't complete the comeback in the season-ending loss. Parker has one more season on his contract, while fellow wide receiver Jakobi Meyers is set to be an unrestricted free agent. Parker turns 30 less than a month into New England's offseason, and he had just one touchdown in his first campaign with the Patriots before this performance boosted his season totals to 31 catches for 539 yards and three touchdowns on 47 targets.

Parker (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills after practicing fully Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who last suited up Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in the regular-season finale. Prior to missing the last three games, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats in Week 18.

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

EDGE Analysis

In his first practice since suffering a concussion in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, Parker's reps were capped, but his return to the field in any capacity suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim his usual starting role out wide for New England. In 12 appearances this season, Parker has put together a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets.

Parker (concussion) was present for practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker is slated to practice for the first time since he suffered a concussion during the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals. The participation level of wideout, who has sat out the team's last three games, will be clarified once New England's initial Week 18 injury report is posted later Wednesday.

Parker (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker will miss a third consecutive game. Kendrick Bourne stepped up in his absence against the Bengals in Week 16, mustering 100 yards and a touchdown as the No. 2 wide receiver option behind Jakobi Meyers. Parker will have one more chance to suit up in the regular season when the Patriots face the Bills in Week 18.

Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday and is trending toward missing his third straight game Sunday against the Dolphins. If he's out this weekend, New England's Week 17 wideout corps would be led by Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton (knee), Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.

Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker didn't practice Wednesday, so at this stage his status for Sunday's game against the Dolphins is cloudy. If Parker, who last played Week 14, remains out this weekend, Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton (knee), Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor would be in line to lead New England's wideout corps Week 17.

Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Parker, who has missed two straight games, now has two more chances to return to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If, however, he remains out this weekend, Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor would be in line to lead the Patriost' Week 17 wideout corps.
