Parker was released by the Giants on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of FS1 reports.

Parker had trouble hanging onto the football over the season's first two games, so the Giants decided to take him off the roster in order to open up a spot for defensive lineman Kenrick Ellis. Parker totaled 76 receptions for the Giants over the last two seasons, so he figures to draw interest from teams in need of receiving help.

Parker caught all five of his targets for 60 yards Sunday.

Parker's not likely to make many big plays, but with Rueben Randle now playing a bit part in the offense, Parker's as likely as anyone to see targets behind Odell Beckham.

Parker (knee) is listed as active Sunday at Tennessee, the Giants' official site reports.

Parker has taken full advantage of his looks recently, corralling 11 catches (on 16 targets) for 110 yards and two touchdowns over the last four games. With at least one red-zone look in five consecutive contests, he could again be a surprise boon to squads as the fantasy playoffs kick off.

Parker (knee) is probable for Sunday's game against the Titans, the New York Daily News' Ralph Vacchiano reports.

Parker is becoming a much more involved component of the Giants' offense recently, and his knee injury is not expected to hold him back against Tennessee.

Parker was limited in Thursday's practice due to a knee injury, Jordan Raanan of NJ.com reports.

Parker's share of snaps has increased dramatically from the first six games of the season to the last six. During the recent stretch, he's totaled 14 receptions (on 25 targets) for 136 yards and two touchdowns. With at least one red-zone look in five consecutive games, he's a better-than-expected bet to reach the end zone on a weekly basis, when healthy of course.

Parker had his best game of the season in Sunday's loss at Seattle, catching 7-of-7 targets for 79 yards and a touchdown.

Parker made a number of difficult grabs, and showed good moves after the catch, rebounding form last week's rough performance against Indianapolis. Meanwhile, Corey Washington, who had 48 yards and a touchdown last Monday against the Colts, did not catch a pass against the Seahakws. Expect Parker to continue to see work in the slot, and he'll face a tough 49ers' secondary next week.

Parker caught 1-of-6 targets for seven yards in Monday's loss to the Colts.

Parker had numerous drops in yet another disappointing performance, while Corey Washington caught 4-of-6 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown, albeit with all of that production coming in garbage time. The 6-4 Washington probably isn't a candidate for significant playing time in the slot, but the Giants might consider using him outside in three-wide sets while sliding Reuben Randle or Odell Beckham inside. That said, the Giants seem to view Washington as a project, so Parker's role isn't necessarily in immediate danger, despite his poor play out of the slot.

Parker caught his only target for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 27-0 loss to the Eagles, while fellow wide receiver Victor Cruz suffered a torn pattelar tendon.

Parker worked as the No. 3 wide receiver and primary slot man after Cruz suffered what will very likely be a season-ending injury. With Jerel Jernigan (foot) also done for the year, Parker is next up for the No. 3 role, though the Giants could also give Corey Washington a look. Parker, while the less physically gifted of the two receivers, is probably a better fit than Washington in the slot.

Parker caught three passes for 29 yards on five targets in Thursday's 45-14 win over the Redskins.

Working as the No. 3 wide receiver and top return man for both punts and kickoffs, Parker looked pretty good, albeit in a mostly uneventful performance. However, he may have suffered an injury, as Ralph Vacchiano of the NY Daily News reports that Parker left for the locker room shortly before the end of the game. Injured or not, Parker may soon lose the No. 3 wide receiver role to rookie first-round draft pick Odell Beckham (hamstring), who finally returned to practice this week.

Coach Tom Coughlin plans to give Parker the first shot at taking over Jerrel Jernigan's split end role, ahead of Corey Washington, the Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Parker got the nod over the bigger, more dynamic Corey Washington on account of his experience in the league. We wouldn't expect a lot of targets, but the Giants often have three wideouts on the field, so Parker will see some. Keep in mind also that Odell Beckham could be back in the next couple weeks, so even if Parker's promotion is likely to be short-lived.

Parker made the team's final 53-man roster Saturday.

With Odell Beckham nursing a hamstring injury it's likely Parker will return punts.

Parker, who caught a touchdown Friday, has a shot to make the final roster, Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Parker's also the team's primary punt returner for now with both Odell Beckham and Trindon Holliday nursing hamstring injuries.

Saints signed WR Preston Parker and DL Jay Richardson to reserve/future contracts.

Parker, who turns 26 next month, caught 40 passes for 554 yards and three touchdowns for the Bucs in 2011, before falling out of favor with new coach Greg Schiano this past season. Richardson is a defensive end/tackle 'tweener.

Bucs released WR Preston Parker.

Preston Parker (foot) is practicing in full this week.

Parker's status was thought to be in doubt after the Bucs re-signed Jordan Shipley, but it turned out to be Sammie Stroughter (foot) who could miss a good chunk of time. Although he's supposedly the Bucs' top slot receiver, Parker is off the radar in PPR leagues.

Bucs slot WR Preston Parker sustained a foot injury during the Week 2 loss to the Giants.

Buccaneers QB Josh Freeman singled out WR Preston Parker as a player he's excited about this season.

Parker and Sammie Stroughter have been working with the second team during OTAs, most notably ahead of Dezmon Briscoe and Arrelious Benn. Parker is the clear favorite for the team's third receiver/slot job, but will only see a few targets each week behind Vincent Jackson and Mike Williams.

Bucs signed WR Preston Parker to a one-year, $1 million extension, including $50,000 guaranteed.

An exclusive rights free agent, Parker signed a one-year, $540,000 deal in April, but is now signed through 2013. A $50,000 signing bonus is the only guaranteed part of his contract. Parker is coming off a 40/554/3 campaign, but should in for a reduced role following Tampa's signing of Vincent Jackson. He'll likely focus on returns this season.

Buccaneers re-signed exclusive rights free agent WR Preston Parker.

The Bucs' slot receiver a year ago, Parker flirted with the fantasy radar in 2011 due largely to the fact that no other Tampa wideouts could get open. That's going to change with Vincent Jackson in Pewter this year. Parker is still an asset for the Buccaneers, but he won't be a fantasy pick in 2012.

Bucs WR Preston Parker sustained a concussion in Week 16.

Parker returned to a full practice Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday, so he's on track to play against the Falcons on Sunday. Parker has cleared 50 yards just three times all season while totaling 36 receptions for 480 yards and 3 TDs in his second season.
