Parker (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Parker practiced with the team for the first time since being placed on IR on Dec. 7, thus opening his 21-day window to be activated. The 25-year-old may play in Sunday's game against the Giants. If he's given the green light, he could have a significant workload if Donovan Wilson (illness) and Darian Thompson (concussion) -- who both missed practice Wednesday -- are unavailable.
