DEVANTE PARKER NEWS

Limited at Wednesday's walk-through Parker (shoulder/hamstring) was listed as limited on Wednesday's practice estimation, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact The Dolphins held a walk-through Wednesday, so what Parker is able to do during Thursday's session should provide a better idea of whether he has a shot to return to action Sunday against the Falcons. That the wideout was listed as limited Wednesday is encouraging, given that Parker didn't practice at all leading up to Miami's Week 6 loss to the Jaguars.

Not playing Sunday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) won't play in Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact With Parker ruled out, Preston Williams (groin/questionable) could see added looks in Week 6, assuming he's active, while top healthy WR Jaylen Waddle, TE Mike Gesicki and RB Myles Gaskin all should continue to see their share of passing targets Sunday from expected starting QB Tua Tagovailoa (ribs).

Could practice Friday The Dolphins hope Parker (shoulder/hamstring) will be able to practice in some capacity Friday, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Parker missed the team's Week 5 loss to the Buccaneers, and he was unable to participate in practice Wednesday or Thursday. The 28-year-old could have a chance to suit of for this weekend's matchup with the Jaguars if he can practice Friday. If able to play, Parker should have an improved outlook thanks to the expected return of starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (ribs).

Xavien Howard, DeVante Parker not spotted again at Dolphins' practice Cornerback Xavien Howard and receiver DeVante Parker aren't seen at practice for the second consecutive day this week.

Remains sidelined Thursday Parker (shoulder/hamstring) wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact With that, Parker's status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London is cloudy. Friday's injury report will reveal the wideout's chances of suiting up Week 6, but if Parker is out or limited versus Jacksonville, Preston Williams likely would be in store for a heightened role in the Miami passing attack along with Jaylen Waddle, Mike Gesicki and Myles Gaskin.

Absent from practice Wednesday Coach Brian Flores said Wednesday that Parker (shoulder) will not practice, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Parker's shoulder injury kept him sidelined Week 5, and it looks like he could likewise be trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game against Jacksonville. With Will Fuller (finger) still on IR for at least two more weeks, Preston Williams and Albert Wilson will be in line to handle increased roles behind Jaylen Waddle if Parker misses another game.

Officially inactive Parker (hamstring) is inactive Week 5 against Tampa Bay.

Impact Parker was officially listed with a shoulder issue on this week's injury report, but a recent hamstring injury that popped up appears to be the culprit here. He was all but ruled out an hour before inactives were due, with team reporters suggesting that he wouldn't even take part in pregame warmups. With Parker sidelined and Will Fuller (finger) on IR, it will be up to the likes of Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson and Preston Williams to lead the Miami receiving corps.

OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Parker (hamstring/shoulder) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Adam Schefter of ESPN and Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald report.

Impact With Parker slated to be inactive for Sunday's 1:00 kickoff, Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson and Preston Williams are in line to serve as the Dolphins' top wideouts in Week 5, with Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford candidates to see complementary snaps.

OCTOBER 10, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected to play Parker (hamstring/shoulder) is not expected to play Sunday against the Buccaneers, Jeff Darlington of ESPN reports.

Impact The report notes that Parker had hoped to test his hamstring out Sunday and potentially play, but the wideout woke up with some tightness and is now in line to sit this one out, per Darlington. Official confirmation of Parker's Week 5 status will arrive upon the release of Miami's inactives prior to Sunday's 1:00 kickoff, but it looks like Jaylen Waddle, Albert Wilson and Preston Williams will serve as the team's top wideouts in Week 5.

Takes questionable tag into Week 5 Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Parker was a limited participant in practice from Wednesday through Friday, first due to a shoulder injury before a sore hamstring cropped up later in the week. It's unclear which of the two injuries is bothering Parker the most at this juncture, but head coach Brian Flores hinted that the wideout could be headed for a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, per Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. If Parker doesn't make enough progress to get the green light to play Sunday, Jaylen Waddle would likely be locked in as the team's clear top wideout, given that Will Fuller (finger) moved to injured reserve earlier this week.

Could be game-time call Week 5 Parker (shoulder) is also dealing with soreness in his hamstring and may be a game-time decision Sunday against the Buccaneers, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Parker was limited at practice the past two days due to the shoulder injury, but he's now also dealing with a hamstring issue. It's unclear if the the 28-year-old will be able to practice in any capacity Friday, but even if he does take some reps, he's likely to take an injury designation into the weekend. The Dolphins are already shorthanded at wide receiver with Will Fuller (finger) landing on injured reserve this week, and Jaylen Waddle and Albert Wilson would likely be thrust into starting roles should Parker sit out the Week 5 contest.

OCTOBER 8, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Still limited at practice Parker (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Friday's final injury report will reveal whether or not Parker approaches Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a Week 5 injury designation, but so far there's nothing to suggest he'll be unavailable this weekend. Assuming Parker is a go, he and Jaylen Waddle are poised to log steady snaps and targets for the next few weeks, with Will Fuller (finger) having been placed on IR on Wednesday.

Limited by shoulder issue Parker was limited at practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury.

Impact Parker's status will be revisited Thursday, but so far there's nothing to suggest that his status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers is in danger. Assuming Parker is good to go this weekend, he'll look to build off the 4-77-1 stat line he recorded on nine targets in Miami's Week 4 loss to the Colts. With fellow wideout Will Fuller (finger) heading to injured reserve Wednesday, Parker and Jaylen Waddle seem destined for solid shares of targets for the foreseeable future as the Dolphins' clear-cut top two wideouts.

Increased targets may be on tap Parker could see an increased role on offense after the Dolphins placed fellow wideout Will Fuller (finger) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Parker is coming off his best game of the season, having put up a 4-77-1 stat line on nine targets against the Colts in Week 4. The veteran hasn't seen fewer than seven targets in a single game this season, and with Fuller now destined to miss at least three weeks, Parker's volume should remain stable, if not increase. Even so, it's still not exactly easy to trust Parker or fellow starter Jaylen Waddle as weekly fantasy contributors, especially with Jacoby Brissett still under center for at least the Dolphins' Week 5 game in Tampa Bay.
