Former Bartlesville High football standout AJ Parker is going to stay in the NFL, but not on active roster for now.

The Detroit Lions retained Parker to the practice squad on Wednesday afternoon. Parker was cut from the 53-man roster on Tuesday, but found a landing spot less than 30-hours later with his old club. Parker spent all of the 2021 season with Detroit as a defensive back on the active roster. 

Lions head coach Dan Campbell hinted earlier this week that roster cuts would be tough.

Parker was a 2016 BHS graduate. He signed with the Lions prior to 2021 out of Kansas State University.

Parker will make a minimum of $15,400 weekly while on the Lions practice squad
