Sun, 22 May 2011 13:11:50 -0700 The Pittsburgh Steelers are not interested in signing free-agent RB Willie Parker even though has expressed a desire to return to the team.
Wed, 06 Oct 2010 02:21:35 -0700 The Washington Redskins could look to re-sign RBs Larry Johnson or Willie Parker, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post. The Redskins are thin at running back currently due to a groin injury sidelining RB Clinton Portis.
Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:41:39 -0700 The Green Bay Packers considered signing free-agent RB Willie Parker (Redskins), as well as Justin Fargas (Broncos), Kolby Smith (Chiefs) and J.J. Arrington (Eagles), reports Tom Silverstein, of The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. However, general manager Ted Thompson viewed them as poor fits for the team's zone running game.
Sat, 04 Sep 2010 07:02:30 -0700 The Washington Redskins released RB Willie Parker, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post.
Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:23:31 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker will start Thursday, Sept. 2, reports NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora. Parker has long odds to make the team, according to sources, but by starting Thursday, Parker could be looking to get some decent film out as an audition for other teams.
Sun, 29 Aug 2010 06:20:46 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Larry Johnson may have widened his lead ahead of RB Willie Parker in the race for the team's backup running back duties, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post. Johnson rushed for a team-high 42 yards Saturday, Aug. 28, while Parker managed just 16 yards on eight carries.
Thu, 26 Aug 2010 13:17:23 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker will be given extended action Friday, Aug. 27, and a good performance could help him pass RB Larry Johnson on the team's depth chart, reports Rich Tandler, of CSNWashington.com. If Parker fails to impress, he will be on the bubble for even making the team's final roster. Not only does he have to impress running the ball, but he also has to impress with his pass protection. Head coach Mike Shanahan said that is an area Parker knows he needs to improve.
Mon, 09 Aug 2010 07:41:34 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker is listed as the No. 4 running back on the team's unofficial depth chart, according to The Washington Post's Rick Maese and Paul Tenorio.
Sun, 01 Aug 2010 09:44:49 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis has received the most reps with the first-string offense, reports Jason Reid, of The Washington Post. Head coach Mike Shanahan sees Portis and RBs Larry Johnson and Willie Parker as almost interchangeable veteran backs. Johnson and Parker are in the mix for prominent roles with the squad.
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 06:38:44 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker is not a lock to make the team's final roster, reports John Keim, of the Washington Examiner.
Mon, 26 Jul 2010 06:38:20 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Clinton Portis may have to serve as the team's third down back in 2010, reports John Keim, of the Washington Examiner. The Redskins do not have a lot of speed at running back, and RBs Larry Johnson and Willie Parker have never filled the third-down role during their careers. Plus, neither back is considered a good blocker. The Redskins could be forced to use Portis as their third down back and spell him with other backs more on first and second down.
Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:34:08 -0700 Washington Redskins RB Ryan Torain could get an opportunity of making the team's final roster if RB Willie Parker is released, according to Rich Tandler, of CSNWashington.com.
Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:25:42 -0700 There was little evidence of much pep in the step of Washington Redskins RB Willie Parker during OTAs, according to Rich Tandler, of CSNWashington.com. Although Parker did seem to get quicker towards the end of the offseason workouts, he will have to find that lost step if he's going to make the team in training camp.
Wed, 28 Apr 2010 05:42:53 -0700 The Washington Redskins are not concerned with how the carries will be distributed between RBs Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker this season, reports Zach Berman, of The Washington Post. "That's the least of our concerns right now," running backs coach Bobby Turner said, when asked about dealing with the personalities of the three running backs. "We want them competing and we're still installing, meaning we're still putting in our offense. That's the least of my concerns right now. Once we decide who makes the team and you start game-planning, that's a different a deal. But that's so far down the line." Offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan added, "It's very rare that you have just one back and that one back plays in all 16 games. So to have three backs is going to make all three of them better. It's a matter of time, but all three of them will help us."
Tue, 06 Apr 2010 12:54:12 -0700 Ryan O'Halloran, of CSNWashington.com, reports Washington Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said he sees RBs Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker being on the Week 1 roster.
