Colby Parkinson Inactive Against Eagles

Sunday, October 4, 7:55 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (knee/shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's Week 4 game against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to Nate Atkins. Parkinson did not practice Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday and entered the weekend listed as questionable. He has caught three passes for 21 yards through the first three games of the season. Los Angeles is also without Terrance Ferguson (ankle), leaving the Rams down two tight ends against Philadelphia. Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen, and rookie Max Klare are available to handle the work at the position with Parkinson and Ferguson sidelined.

Trey McBride A Must-Start In Week 4

Saturday, October 3, 2:39 AM

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride had nine receptions for 75 yards on 11 targets in Week 3. Arizona's passing attack is built around getting McBride the ball. The tight end has a 32.5% first-read target share, and his 5.9 aDOT is suited to Jacoby Brissett's tendency to favor quick, short passes. McBride has hit double digits in targets and at least eight receptions in each game of 2026. Through the first three games of 2026, he is one reception and three targets from being tied for the lead in the NFL in both categories. In Week 4, the Cardinals travel to New York to face the Giants. McBride can safely be expected to have another productive day and should be in starting lineups everywhere on Sunday.
