Injury Groin
Est. Return 7/22/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Parks produced another injury-free season, now two years removed from a hamstring injury that derailed his 2022 campaign. He clocked in the most minutes in his career with 2,860 in 36 appearances (playoffs included) while getting at least 65 touches per match, along with making 60 tackles. The midfielder assumed more of an attacking position under Nick Cushing, who has now been relieved of his duties in New York. Parks' outlook is murky for 2025, at least for his offensive upside as a new manager may move him back to holding midfield.
Late scratch Wednesday
Parks (groin) was a late withdrawal from the starting XI for Wednesday's US Open Cup defeat against Columbus due to injury, according to coach Pascal Jansen, per Scott Churchson of Stream Punk.
ANALYSIS
Parks suffered a groin issue just before the kickoff Wednesday and no further details have been provided yet on the severity of the problem, leaving his availability for Saturday's clash against Nashville uncertain. Andres Perea or Aiden O'Neill (ankle) if fit are expected to take on larger roles in the midfield if Parks cannot be cleared in time, with the club set to assess his condition over the coming days before making a final call on his involvement at the weekend.
