DeVante Parker Dealing With Knee Sprain
2 years agoNew England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) suffered a knee sprain on the first play of the Week 8 win over the New York Jets, according to a source. If Parker is forced to miss any time, it will likely only be one game, the Week 9 meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. The Patriots then have their bye in Week 10, so Parker could be ready to rock in Week 11 for a rematch against the Jets. Fantasy managers took a fat zero if they started the 29-year-old receiver on Sunday, but the good news is he's not dealing with a long-term injury. If Parker indeed sits out in Week 9, Kendrick Bourne, Nelson Agholor (if he's not traded) and rookie Tyquan Thornton would be fighting for more targets behind No. 1 wideout Jakobi Meyers against Indy.
