Last night in Denver Willie Parker stood on the sidelines most of the night, never having to break a sweat. He played only one play to the best of my knowledge, and didn’t get a carry. Could this be a sign of things to come? Parker, who is in the last year [...]
ESPN reports Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin said RB Willie Parker (toe) is expected to practice in some limited fashion this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday. Hmmm, does what Rashard Mendenhall did to the Chargers on Sunday night have anything to do with Willie’s quick recovery? We shall see.
Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette has reported that Steelers running back Willie Parker still has a “hamstring thing going on.” In Bouchette’s chat transcript, he was asked if Parker was nursing an injury.

Seems that the latest heart attack that was suffered by Steelers fans when it was announced that Ben Roethlisberger suffered a knee injury was the result of a collision with Steelers starting running back Willie Parker. The injury, which turned out to be no big deal, was announced on [...]
Yes, the AFC North as we all know is a very physical division with a lot of good players on both sides of the ball. Today though we are going to break down some of the running backs, and give our take on the running back cores of each team in the division, and rate [...]
