The Saints are placing Cody Parkey on the injured reserve list, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Parkey joined the Saints just over a week ago, but he’ll be out for a while with a groin injury. 
Parkey took over for Aldrick Rosas, who made just 1 of 4 field goal tries in 2021. Parkey, meanwhile, had yet to debut this year. Unfortunately, he pulled his groin during pregame warmups against Washington. The Saints went on to win 33-22, but Parkey was clearly hurting as he missed two of his five extra point tries.
Parkey, 29, made 19 of 22 attempts to help the Browns to the playoffs last year. The Browns placed him on IR and dropped him over the summer after he suffered a quad injury. He’s become a well-traveled pro, having kicked for five NFL teams. After two straight years as the Eagles’ kicker to start his career, which included a Pro Bowl nod in 2014, Parkey has not been with the same team in consecutive seasons since. He bounced to Cleveland in 2016, Miami in ’17, Chicago in ’18, Tennessee in ’19 and back to Cleveland last season. The Bears stint serves as Parkey’s most memorable stay, with the infamous “double doink” game spotlighting their kicker position throughout the following offseason.
The Saints may audition other kickers, but they might not have to sign one. Wil Lutz — who had a groin injury of his own — will be eligible to return after the bye for Week 7.
can we please select pictures of this guy in a different jersey? – signed bears fans.
I mean, the guy is already hurt. And the best we can do is a pic of the double double aftermath?
Looks like another website that won’t allow free speech.. Cut off comments on the Gruden story… lame… Here is the thing, NFL has become a complete drama show. NFL is dead. Gruden said the comments in private… And the fact is Roger Goodell has damaged the NFL beyond repair. He is a millionaire clown trying to appease all these special interests groups rather than focus on the game that has brought so much to fans. People watch sports mostly to get away from the daily dramas of life. Something enjoyable. A past time. Goodell has made it political.. Thrown his agenda in your face. How many flags are thrown in a game now and days?? So many rules it’s almost unwatchable now. Now we have two National Anthems in the NFL, because the one we have had since the birth of our country is not good enough.. Goodell has destroyed this game and now a good coach is fired for saying in “private” what most fans are thinking anyway.. SAD times
NFL is dead…says the guy commenting on an NFL rumors site.
