Patriots' DeVante Parker: Likely out Sunday

Parker (knee) is listed as questionable but isn't expected to play in Sunday's game versus the Eagles, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.

Official word on Parker's status won't arrive until the Patriots release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but barring a dramatic turnaround in his recovery from the knee injury, the wideout will sit out the season opener. As a result, the likes of Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte could see increased snaps at receiver alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne.
