The Seattle Seahawks’ tight end corps has taken yet another hit this offseason. Rookie tight end Colby Parkinson suffered a broken foot and has undergone surgery to repair the injury, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport.
“Seahawks fourth-round pick TE Colby Parkinson suffered a broken fifth metatarsal in his foot while running a route this offseason, source said,” Rapoport tweeted. “The Stanford product had surgery on the Jones fracture on June 2 and has been in Seattle rehabbing the ailment.”
Rapoport did not provide further details on the injury, nor did he indicate when or where it occurred.
The Seahawks selected Parkinson in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Stanford to bolster a tight end group that was riddled with injuries last season.
No timeline was given for Parkinson’s recovery. The rookie now joins a growing list of players around the NFL who have suffered injuries during their offseason workouts away from team facilities.
