The Facts:
Parker (knee) continues to miss practice and apparently won't play against the Packers this Saturday. Parker also missed Sunday's 20-7 pre-season victory against New Orleans. Reported by the Associated Press

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
HC Mike Tomlin, however, expects Parker to return soon. "Willie has inflammation of the knee, and usually that takes 10 to 14 days and we're about 11 to 12 days into it now, so we're coming toward the end," the coach explained Wednesday.
