  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Grabs all four targets Week 9

    Parkinson notched four catches for 13 yards on four targets in a 20-13 win over Washington on Sunday.

    Parkinson ranked second on Los Angeles in receptions, though he didn't turn them into many yards. Still, it was his third straight contest with at least four catches, so Parkinson looks to be developing into a favorite target of QB Matthew Stafford. That could come in handy in Week 10 and beyond, as Stafford is going to need to turn to other pass catchers to help make up for the massive production being lost in the absence of Puka Nacua, who is expected to land on IR due to a knee injury.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Active versus Washington

    Parkinson (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

    Parkinson, who was inactive in Week 8, managed to log a limited practice Friday, before being listed as questionable for the contest. With Terrance Ferguson (ankle) -- who was initially slated to return to action this week -- but subsequently ruled out -- still not in the mix, the return of Parkinson -- who has caught five passes in each of the last two games he played -- is a welcome boost to a Rams TE corps that also includes Tyler Higbee, Davis Allen and Max Klare.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Questionable for Week 9

    Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

    The veteran tight end managed to get in a limited practice Friday, keeping the door open for him to play after missing last Sunday's game against the Chargers. With Terrance Ferguson (ankle) due back, Parkinson will likely concentrate on blocking duties.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Still DNP on Thursday

    Parkinson (ribs) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice, Greg Beacham of the Associated Press reports.

    Parkinson hasn't practiced since being injured in Week 7, and he looks headed for a possible second straight absence. With Terrance Ferguson (ankle) looking like he has a chance to return from injured reserve Sunday against the Commanders, it could be Ferguson, Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen handling tight-end duties.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Remains DNP on Wednesday

    Parkinson (ribs) did not practice Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Parkinson missed the Week 8 win over the Chargers and remains sidelined for the start of Week 9 prep. Terrance Ferguson (ankle) was back at practice Wednesday and could join Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen at tight end if Parkinson is unable to face the Commanders on Sunday.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Inactive in Week 8

    Parkinson (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Chargers.

    The veteran tight end has endured an injury-plagued season, and his current ribs issue cost him the first two practices of the week before he managed a limited session Friday. The injury will also lead to Parkinson's second absence of the campaign, and in his stead, Tyler Higbee should be in line for a slight increase in snaps and targets, although fourth-year tight end Davis Allen, who logged a season-high 50 snaps in Week 7 against the Raiders and recorded a pair of touchdown catches, will also stand to be a beneficiary.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Questionable for Week 8

    Parkinson (ribs) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Nate Atkins of The Athletic reports.

    Parkinson has been banged up seemingly all season, first dealing with shoulder and knee injuries before a ribs issue this week. Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen would be set to handle most of the tight-end duties for the Rams if Parkinson is unable to play, and rookie Max Klare could even see some action on offense.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Sits out practice again Thursday

    Parkinson (ribs) didn't practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Parkinson has now missed the first two days of Week 8 prep, so his status for Sunday's matchup against the Chargers is looking quite precarious. He'll likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a chance of suiting up this weekend. Rams QB Matthew Stafford peppered his tight-end corps with 14 targets in Week 7 in the absence of wideout Davante Adams (hamstring), so Parkinson's absence would be felt by the team's offense if he can't play. Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen could be set for a bump in targets if that's the case.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Nursing rib injury

    Parkinson did not participate in Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury, Adam Grosbard of The Orange County Register reports.

    Parkinson may have picked up the injury during the Rams' 35-21 win over the Raiders in Week 7, when he caught five of six targets for 48 yards. He'll have two more opportunities to practice in at least a limited capacity ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. Terrance Ferguson (ankle) will remain on IR for Week 8, so if Parkinson cannot play, then Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen would serve as the Rams' top tight ends.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Secures five catches in Week 7 win

    Parkinson caught five of six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 35-21 win over the Raiders.

    With Davante Adams (hamstring) and Terrance Ferguson (ankle) both out and injured for Los Angeles, Parkinson's six targets were second on the team behind Puka Nacua's 10. The tight end ran just 14 routes on Matthew Stafford's 32 dropbacks, but Los Angeles used multiple tight ends, led by Tyler Higbee's 18 routes. Parkinson is more of a touchdown-or-bust fringe TE1/2 headed into Week 8 against the Chargers.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Catches late TD in surprising loss

    Parkinson caught five of six targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Cardinals.

    The tight end's six targets tied Kyren Williams for second on the team behind Puka Nacua's seven on a day the Rams couldn't move the ball. Parkinson entered Sunday with four catches for 24 yards on seven targets. He can largely be ignored in fantasy football as the Rams' main blocking tight end.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Good to go for Week 6

    Parkinson (shoulder) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Parkinson continues to deal with the shoulder injury he originally sustained in Week 3 against Denver. After missing Week 4, the tight end was able to return for last Monday night's overtime loss to the Bills, logging 64.6 percent of the offensive snaps. He secured just one pass for three yards on two targets and isn't in the fantasy football conversation, with Tyler Higbee dominating the pass-game looks.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Still dealing with shoulder issue

    Parkinson (shoulder) was a limited participant at practice Thursday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Parkinson was able to play through his shoulder injury in Week 5 versus the Bills, but it still appears to be bothering him as Sunday's game versus the Cardinals approaches. He'll now look to repeat what he did a week ago and upgrade to full participation at practice Friday and avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Rams' Colby Parkinson: Estimated to be limited Wednesday

    Parkinson (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant on the Rams' estimated injury report Wednesday, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Parkinson played 53 snaps on offensive during Monday night's 37-34 overtime loss to the Bills, reeling in one of two targets for three yards. The tight end was limited at each of the team's first two practices last week before logging a full session Friday, and he appears to be potentially on track to do the same thing prior to Week 6. Parkinson will have two more opportunities to officially practice before Sunday's matchup with Arizona.
