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.
Set to rejoin training soon
Parks (groin) is set to rejoin training soon but remains a doubt for Wednesday's clash against Columbus Crew, according to the NY Soccer Journal.
ANALYSIS
Parks was a late withdrawal from the starting lineup for the US Open Cup match against Columbus after suffering a groin issue just before kickoff, with no further details provided on the severity at the time before the World Cup break. His expected imminent return to training is an encouraging sign, though his status for Wednesday remains uncertain, with Andres Perea to see a larger midfield role if Parks cannot be cleared in time.
