Officially placed on IR The Dolphins placed Parker (shoulder/hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.
Impact With Parker now officially in line to miss at least three games and Will Fuller (finger) still on IR, the Dolphins are left with Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford as their current healthy wideouts.

Expected to land on IR Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is expected to be placed on IR by the Dolphins, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
Impact Look for the move to become official later Friday, but in the wake of an injury setback, Parker is now on track to miss the Dolphins' next three games. In his anticipated absence, Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson, Preston Williams, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford are the team's current healthy wideout options.

Impact The 28-year-old was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, but it appears he may not be able to participate at Friday's session. Parker returned from a three-game absence last week against Buffalo and caught eight of 11 targets for 85 yards, but he's clearly not fully healthy. Jaylen Waddle should work as Miami's top wideout. Preston Williams was a healthy scratch Week 8 due to disciplinary reasons.

Remains limited participant Parker (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Parker still hasn't practiced fully since Week 4, but a trio of limited practices last week were enough for him to put an end to a three-game absence in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills. Even if not 100 percent, Parker managed to deliver a productive outing in his return to the lineup, recording eight receptions for 85 yards on 11 targets. So long as he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity again Friday, Parker should have good odds of suiting up for Sunday's game against the Texans.

FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 9
Miami’s Tua Tagovailoa has earned a spot in an elite tierNOVEMBER 4, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Limited at Wednesday's practice Parker (shoulder/hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Parker has been a fixture on the injury report since Week 5 with the same two health concerns, but he put an end to a three-game absence and returned to the lineup for Sunday's loss to Buffalo. He played a healthy 91 percent of the offensive snaps in the contest, finishing with eight receptions for 85 yards on 11 targets. Assuming he didn't suffer any setbacks in Week 8, Parker's limitations to begin Week 9 are most likely maintenance-related. The wideout looks on track to remain a top target for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in this weekend's matchup with the Texans.

Busy day in return Parker (shoulder/hamstring) secured eight of 11 targets for 85 yards in the Dolphins' 26-11 loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Suiting up for the first time since Week 4, Parker comfortably paced the Dolphins across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The veteran wideout's numbers unfortunately came in another loss for the Dolphins, but with Will Fuller (IR-finger) still sidelined, Parker should continue to enjoy a robust role in Miami's inconsistent passing game against the porous Texans secondary in Week 9.

Suits up Sunday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Impact Parker, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, thus returns the Dolphins' lineup after missing the team's last three games. As long as he avoids any in-game setbacks, Parker should play a key role in Miami's Week 8 passing attack alongside Jaylen Waddle, given that fellow wideouts Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams are both sidelined. In the mix to log complementary WR targets from QB Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday are Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Albert Wilson. In the four games Parker has played in this season, he's averaged eight targets and 60.5 receiving yards.

Expected back Sunday Parker (shoulder/hamstring), who is listed as questionable, is expected to play Sunday against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Parker has missed the Dolphins' last three games, but after logging a week of limited practices, he appears poised to return to action. Assuming he's cleared ahead of Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, Parker could be primed for a key role in Miami's passing offense alongside Jaylen Waddle, with fellow wideouts Will Fuller (finger) and Preston Williams (undisclosed) unavailable.

Questionable for Week 8 Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker has missed three consecutive games as he tends to shoulder and hamstring injuries. Despite having similar limitations in practice this week as those in which he was held out of game action, the Dolphins expect Parker to return this weekend, according to Beasley. Assuming he does, Parker will join WRs Jaylen Waddle and Preston Williams and TE Mike Gesicki as the core targets for second-year quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Should play Sunday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Parker has missed the past three games but practiced as a limited participant Wednesday and Thursday, and he's expected to retake the field Sunday for the Dolphins. The 28-year-old has 17 receptions for 242 yards and a touchdown in four games this season, and he should see plenty of snaps against the Bills if he can avoid a setback over the next couple days.

Logs limited practice Thursday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) remained limited at practice Thursday.
Impact Prior to Thursday's practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald relayed that the wideout said he's feeling good, but Parker acknowledged that he's in wait-and-see mode after missing Miami's last three games. With that in mind, Parker appears to be trending toward an official questionable designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Logs limited listing Parker (shoulder/hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact The Dolphins held a walk-through session Wednesday, so what Parker is able to do at practice Thursday and Friday will provide a better indication of whether he'll suit up Sunday against the Bills. With that in mind, head coach Brian Flores said that he's "hopeful" the wideout can progress enough over the next couple of days in order to give himself a shot to return Sunday following a three-game absence.

Will participate Wednesday Coach Brian Flores said that Parker (shoulder) will participate in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Impact Flores added that he's "hopeful" Parker will be able to practice Thursday and Friday en route to retaking the field for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Bills. Parker has missed three straight games due to a shoulder injury, but the Dolphins never placed him on IR, which is an indication that the team expects him to return sooner than later. Meanwhile, Will Fuller (finger) is not expected to come off IR in time to play Week 8.

Not suiting up Sunday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Parker was able to practice on a limited basis throughout the week, he ultimately didn't demonstrate enough progress to avoid a third consecutive absence. With Parker sidelined for another week, Jaylen Waddle (10 catches for 70 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets Week 6) and Mike Gesicki (8-115-0-9) are expected to function as the top pass-catching options for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in Week 7.

Iffy for Sunday's game Parker (shoulder/hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, appears to be facing an uphill battle to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports...
Impact After sitting out the past two games, Parker took a questionable tag into the weekend following a trio of limited practices Wednesday through Friday. However, the report suggests that while the wideout has a chance to suit up versus Atlanta, it's not a great one. In any case, Parker's Week 7 status will be confirmed before the first wave of games Sunday, with Miami and Atlanta kicking off at 1 p.m. ET.

Questionable for Week 7 The Dolphins list Parker (shoulder/hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Parker's pair of injuries rendered him a limited participant in the Dolphins' first two Week 7 practices, and he apparently didn't do enough at Friday's session to enter the weekend without a designation. As a result, Parker's availability for Sunday's contest is up in the air, but more clarity on his status should come in the hours leading up to the game's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Since the Dolphins and Falcons play among the early wave of Sunday games, fantasy managers should have plenty of alternatives available if Parker winds up inactive for a third straight game.

Limited at practice Thursday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) logged a limited practice Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Parker was also listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report, when Miami held a walk-through, but the fact that the wideout maintained that level Thursday is a promising sign with regard to his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Falcons. Unless Parker practices fully Friday, however, he appears destined to head into the weekend carrying a Week 7 injury designation.
