Donald Parham Jr. - Page 4 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Likely out a week Parham is dealing with a hamstring injury that likely will force him to miss approximately a week of practice, Jeff Miller of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Parham went down with an apparent leg injury during Saturday's practice, and coach Brandon Staley clarified Sunday that the tight end is dealing with a hamstring issue. The Chargers have their first preseason game Saturday, Aug. 13 against the Rams, and it certainly seems possible that Parham will be kept off the field. If the 24-year-old ultimately is sidelined, Tre' McKitty (undisclosed) and Hunter Kampmoyer could see increased looks versus the reigning Super Bowl champs.

Injures leg Parham injured his left leg during Saturday's practice, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact It's unclear how serious the injury might be, but Parham ultimately never returned to Saturday's practice and was spotted with the back of his upper left leg heavily wrapped. Expect an update from the Chargers on the tight end's status in the coming days.

Looking good at camp Parham is having a "great" training camp, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.

Impact The 6-foot-8 tight end is again making his case for a prominent role, though offseason signing Gerald Everett still figures to get most of the snaps on third downs and other passing situations. While he has six TDs among his 30 catches in two NFL seasons, Parham isn't likely to see enough volume to go with the splash plays unless Everett misses time.

Agrees to contract tender Parham has officially signed his exclusive rights free agent tender with the Chargers, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact The tight end -- who saw his receptions double from 10 in 2020 to 20 in 2021 -- will jostle for snaps behind former Seahawk Gerald Everett, who Los Angeles signed in April. Also currently in the mix at the position with Parham are Tre' McKitty and Hunter Kampmoyer.

More competition on tap Parham faces additional competition at tight end in 2022 after the Chargers opted to sign Gerald Everett in March, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

Impact Not only does Everett project to be the team's No. 1 tight end this season, head coach Brandon Staley suggested the team is still interested in adding another one to the mix. While nominal third-stringer Stephen Anderson signed a one-year contract with the Cardinals earlier this offseason, it's possible Parham might find himself in a full-fledged battle for the No. 2 role, much less a starting spot, after he spent the majority of the offseason to date as the team's lone quality option at the position.

Gets contract tender for 2022 The Chargers have extended a contract tender to Parham, per Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus.

Impact With the reported move, Parham -- an exclusive rights free agent -- is on track to reclaim his role in the Chargers offense in 2022. With that in mind, Kyed adds that Parham has been fully cleared from the concussion that landed him on IR late last season. The 6-foot-8, 237-pounder caught 20 of his 27 targets for 190 yards and three TDs in 14 contests last season. With last year's top pass-catching TE Jared Cook headed for free agency, Parham -- who turns 25 in August -- could potentially see an uptick in targets this coming season, but his fantasy upside won't come into focus until after the bulk of the team's offseason moves have been made.
