Willie Parker won't play Sunday night

Posted Aug 2, 2007

Willie Parker will not play in the Steelers' first exhibition game Sunday night against New Orleans in Canton, Ohio. Parker may not practice the rest of the week after missing his second straight day with slight soreness and swelling in his left knee. The Steelers consider it to be a small matter and are trying to take precautions so it does not become a serious one. Parker ran for 1,494 yards last season, third most in Steelers history.
