Parrish

At this point, Parrish is looking like the favorite to nab the third receiver role away from Josh Reed. He’s a year away from redraft league relevance unless injuries strike.

He’s enjoyed a great camp. At this point, he may be favored for the number three receiver role over Josh Reed.

The team is not releasing news quite yet, but Parrish went to see the team doctor Thursday. A broken wrist usually takes 6-8 weeks to recover. Josh Reed would probably hold on to the third receiver role if that was the case.

The extent of the injury is not yet known. Losing Parrish would be a big blow to Buffalo’s offense and special teams.

At this point, the Bills will only say Parrish will play this season. It looks pretty clear that he’ll miss the start of the regular season, which is a big blow to Buffalo’s passing game and return units. He was expected to be the team’s third receiver.

Parrish was just released by the Chargers on Monday. The 30-year-old is likely just insurance on punt returns in case Jacoby Ford (foot) isn’t ready for the season opener. He’ll be last on the depth chart at wide receiver.

Parrish was just signed early in the week, presumably for punt-return insurance. His release suggests WR Jacoby Ford (foot) has a chance to play in the season opener.

He may have to share the job somewhat with Josh Reed, but neither player has much fantasy potential. Parrish missed most of his rookie season and should hope to be a poor man’s Dante Hall.

We don’t have the details on the injury just yet, though coach Chan Gailey termed it “more long term than short term, unfortunately.” This should close the book on Parrish’s Buffalo career, as he’s a free agent after the season and the Bills have a promising player in David Nelson to fill the slot role. Nelson is neck-and-neck with Denarius Moore for this week’s top waiver addition.

It sounds like Parrish could eventually head to injured reserve, but for now he’ll remain on the roster. The Bills’ slot receiver, Parrish has been outplayed by David Nelson early this season and could remain behind Nelson on the depth chart even once Parrish returns. He’s not worth holding onto in any format.
