It looks like the Philadelphia Eagles won’t have to face DeVante Parker on Sunday.
The New England Patriots’ starting wide receiver is reportedly not expected to play due to a knee injury, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Howe. Parker was limited in practice all week before being questionable on the final injury report.
Here’s how Parker ranked in multiple categories on the Patriots last year while only playing 13 games:
- Receiving yards: 2nd (539)
- Targets: 6th (48)
- Yards per reception: 1st (17.4)
- Touchdowns: 2nd (3)
- First downs: 2nd (25)
Parker is expected to take on an even bigger role this year with the departures of 2022 leading receiver Jakobi Meyers and Nelson Agholor.
