Cody Parkey News
Cleveland Browns kicker Cody Parkey (quad) suffered a quad injury during Sunday's 17-13 preseason win over the New York Giants, per head coach Kevin Stefanski. He converted his only extra-point attempt and exited the game shortly after. The 29-year-old signed a one-year deal with Cleveland during the offseason. He made 19 of his 22 field-goal attempts (86.4 percent) and 43 of his 47 extra-point tries. The severity of Parkey's quad injury is unknown at this time, and he's considered day-to-day. Cleveland would most likely sign a kicker via free agency to fill in if Parkey were to miss any games.
The Cleveland Browns re-signed kicker Cody Parkey to an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday, according to a source. In his second stint with the team last year, Parkey made 19 of his 22 field-goal attempts (86.4 percent) and 43 of his 47 extra-point tries. He was also able to send 55.6 percent of his kickoffs into the end zone for touchbacks. The 29-year-old made the Pro Bowl in his rookie season in 2014 with the Philadelphia Eagles, when he made 32 of his 36 field-goal tries (88.9 percent). He's also played for the Miami Dolphins, Chicago Bears and Tennessee Titans in his seven-year NFL career. Parkey is a career 84.6 percent kicker and finished last season as the No. 23 fantasy booter. He'll be left to the waiver wire to begin the season in most fantasy leagues.
Cleveland Browns kicker Cody Parkey (COVID-19 list) had been in danger of missing Sunday's contest versus the Eagles after having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week, but he placed back on the active roster Saturday. (Offensive tackle Jack Conklin was also added off of the same list.) Parkey ranks as one of the lowest-rostered kickers in the league, despite having missed just one extra point and one field goal all season. Cleveland's desire to not kick long field goals has undoubtedly factored into that, as Parkey has not attempted a field goal from 50 yards or longer all year. With rain expected Sunday, fantasy managers can leave Parkey on the waiver wire for the time being for more consistent options on high-octane offenses.
