Parker had six catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns on seven targets in Sunday's 35-23 loss to the Bills.
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 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 season 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.
Analysis: Parker, who last suited up in Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in Week 18. Prior to missing time, 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 as Sunday's game against 12-3 Buffalo approaches.
Jan 6, 2023 1:44 PM EST
Parker (concussion) returned to a limited practice Wednesday.
Analysis: In his first practice since suffering a concussion in Week 14, Parker was limited, but the wideout's return to the field Wednesday, in any capacity, suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup Sunday against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim a role in the Patriots' passing offense alongside fellow WRs Jakobi Meyers (shoulder), Tyquan Thornton, Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.
Jan 4, 2023 2:01 PM EST
Parker (concussion) was present for practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: This marks the first practice for Parker 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.
Jan 4, 2023 10:13 AM EST
Parker (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.
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.
Dec 30, 2022 12:48 PM EST
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday and appears to be 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 in line to be led by Jakobi Meyers, Tyquan Thornton (knee), Kendrick Bourne and Nelson Agholor.
Dec 30, 2022 9:34 AM EST
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
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 in 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 in Week 17.
Dec 29, 2022 10:12 AM EST
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
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.
Dec 28, 2022 10:22 AM EST
Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Bengals, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With Parker out for the second consecutive week, Jakobi Meyers (shoulder, questionable), Nelson Agholor, Tyquan Thornton (knee, questionable), and Kendrick Bourne are in line to lead the team's Week 16 wideout corps, provided Meyers and Tyquan Thornton (both limited at practice Wednesday and Thursday) are active Saturday. Parker will target a potential return to action in Week 17 against the Dolphins.
Dec 22, 2022 1:56 PM EST
Parker (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The wideout, who was inactive in Week 15, thus appears to be trending toward another absence Saturday against the Bengals. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will clarify whether or not Parker is officially ruled out ahead of the contest.
Dec 22, 2022 9:55 AM EST
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker, who was inactive in Week 15 due to his concussion, was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate. The wideout now has one more chance to get in some work ahead of Saturday's game against the Bengals, but at this point, Parker's status for the contest appears cloudy.
Dec 21, 2022 10:10 AM EST
Parker (concussion) is listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice estimate.
Analysis: It's not the best sign for his availability Saturday against the Bengals, though Parker still has time to progress through the concussion protocol. He suffered the brain injury in a Week 14 win over Arizona on Monday Night Football, then sat out Sunday's loss to the Raiders six days later. Tyquan Thornton, Nelson Agholor and Jakobi Meyers (concussion) worked as New England's top three receivers this past weekend.
Dec 20, 2022 1:55 PM EST
Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Las Vegas.
Analysis: Parker suffered a head injury Monday in Arizona and was unable to return, and he eventually entered the concussion protocol, joining teammate Jakobi Meyers. While Meyers has a chance to limit himself to a one-game absence this weekend, Parker does not, leaving the Patriots with a potential receiving corps of Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton, among others, Sunday. Parker's next chance to play will arrive Saturday, Dec. 24 against the Bengals.
Dec 16, 2022 2:29 PM EST
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker missed practice Wednesday as well, so his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders is cloudy at this stage. If the wideout doesn't gain clearance to play this weekend, added Week 15 snaps would be available to some combo of Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.
Dec 15, 2022 12:29 PM EST
Parker (head) wasn't participating in practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: The same goes for Jakobi Meyers (concussion), with the duo's status worth monitoring closely ahead of Sunday's game against the Raiders. At this stage of the week, the Patriots' top healthy wideout options are Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.
Dec 14, 2022 12:50 PM EST
Parker (head) won't return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker will finish the night with two catches for 24 yards. The Patriots will have to make do with a depleted receiving corps for the remainder of Monday's game, as No. 1 option Jakobi Meyers is currently sidelined by a concussion. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) also got hurt Monday but later returned.
Dec 12, 2022 6:32 PM EST
Parker (head) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker was wobbly after making a 10-yard catch. The ball came out as he was going to the ground so the Cardinals challenged, but the referees chose not to add insult to injury, so the questionable catch stood and gave Parker two receptions for 24 yards prior to his exit.
Dec 12, 2022 6:01 PM EST
Parker secured two of four targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
Analysis: Parker's night was in fairly stark contrast to his solid 4-80 line in the Thanksgiving Night loss to the Vikings, as the veteran receiver was one of several Patriots pass catchers to underperform against a tough Bills defense. Parker's production has been extremely difficult to trust on a game-to-game basis, as he's now been at two catches and 19 yards or fewer in three of the last four contests. Bigger contributions may be much more feasible in a Week 14 Monday night road matchup against the Cardinals on Dec. 12.
Dec 1, 2022 9:08 PM EST
Parker (knee) was a full participant at Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Parker was listed as a limited participant on the Patriots' initial Week 13 injury report Monday, but the team provided no indication that the receiver was dealing with any setbacks in his recovery from the knee issue that kept him from playing Week 9 against the Colts. Following a Week 10 bye, Parker has proceeded to play 37 and 85 percent of the Patriots' snaps on offense in the ensuing two games. After recording four receptions for 80 yards in the Patriots' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Vikings and now upgrading to full activity at Tuesday's practice, Parker looks poised to handle another big snap share in Thursday's game against the Bills.
Nov 29, 2022 12:52 PM EST
Parker was a limited participant during Monday's practice due to a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Parker went into New England's Thanksgiving Day matchup questionable due to a knee injury but led the team with 80 receiving yards on four catches. However, it appears the veteran wideout is now dealing with a shoulder injury ahead of Week 13, though the severity of the issue remains unclear. Parker will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.
