DEVANTE PARKER NEWS

Sheds non-contact jersey Parker (undisclosed) is participating in Tuesday's practice without wearing a red non-contact jersey, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact The Dolphins spent the preseason easing Parker back into practice while he worked through an undisclosed injury, and his return to contact reps represents a significant step forward. Barring any setbacks, it looks like Parker can be considered on track for Sept. 12's season opener in New England. Parker is slated for a key role in Miami's revamped receiving corps, alongside new teammates Jaylen Waddle and Will Fuller (foot), though the latter won't be eligible to suit up until Week 2 due to a suspension.

Practicing with non-contact jersey Parker (undisclosed) returned to practice Tuesday while donning a red non-contact jersey, Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Parker began training camp on the PUP list and has been in and out of practice since being activated. It's encouraging to see him back on the field Tuesday, even if he only handles limited reps. Fellow starting wideout Will Fuller (foot/suspension) also returned to practice after having missed more than three weeks of on-field activities.

Expected to sit Parker (undisclosed) is not expected to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons.

Impact Along with Parker, fellow wideouts Albert Wilson, Will Fuller, Lynn Bowden, Preston Williams and Isaiah Ford are listed as Miami players unlikely to play in the contest. It remains to be seen if Parker will suit up for the team's preseason finale, but it wouldn't surprise us if the team plays it safe with a number of its key skill players such as him next week, with an eye toward Week 1.

Impact Flores was also referring to Will Fuller (foot) and Albert Wilson (undisclosed), plus the Dolphins still have Preston Williams (foot) on PUP and Allen Hurns (wrist) headed for IR. Parker started camp on the PUP list with an unspecified soft-tissue injury, before returning Aug. 2 and ramping up his workload over the following week. He's now missed a few more practices, with no update on whether it's the same injury as before. The Dolphins haven't given any indication it's serious, but Parker does have a noteworthy history of hamstring issues to consider.

Held out Saturday Parker will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Chicago.

Impact Given his experience and injury history, Parker might've been held out of the preseason opener even if he'd been enjoying a healthy training camp. In reality, he's been in and out of practice the past couple weeks, with the Dolphins seemingly limiting his workload to avoid any issues with the unspecified soft-tissue injury that landed him on the PUP list in late July. The Dolphins are down four wide receivers for Saturday's game, with Parker joined by Will Fuller (foot), Albert Wilson (undisclosed) and Allen Hurns.

Impact Parker was removed from the PUP list last Monday after missing the first week of camp with an unspecified soft-tissue injury. The Dolphins have a deep group at wideout this year, so while Parker's starting job may be safe, it's possible he rotates off the field a bit more often than in past years. He played 84 and 78 percent of Miami's snaps in his active games the past two seasons, despite making an early exit due to injury on three separate occasions. It sounds like Parker has avoided setbacks while working his way back from the recent issue.

Activated from PUP The Dolphins removed Parker (undisclosed) from the PUP list Monday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Reports suggest Parker is bothered by a minor soft-tissue injury, with his history of hamstring issues perhaps encouraging the Dolphins to be cautious. His ability to avoid those nagging injuries remains uncertain, but Parker at least should have plenty of time to prepare for Week 1, now battling for targets with the likes of Will Fuller (suspension) and Jaylen Waddle.

Dealing with soft tissue injury Parker (undisclosed) is recovering from a soft tissue injury that will need some rest so as to not become chronic, Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald reports.

Impact The injury reportedly isn't considered serious, but the timing was suboptimal with Parker hurting himself during a workout right before training camp. It'll be especially worrisome if this is a hamstring injury, as he's struggled with those through much of his career, including last season. The Dolphins placed Parker on the PUP list Wednesday, and neither player nor team has provided any information on the injury or a possible timeline. The Dolphins also have Will Fuller (undisclosed) and Preston Williams (foot) missing from practice, while rookie first-rounder Jaylen Waddle has managed to stay on the field.

Surprise addition to PUP list The Dolphins placed Parker on the PUP list Wednesday due to an unspecified injury, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact No injury or surgery was reported this offseason, with Parker's main concern being target and snap competition after the Dolphins signed Will Fuller and drafted Jaylen Waddle. Quarterback play is also a major issue, though the improved group of pass catchers should help Tua Tagovailoa look more comfortable than he did last season. While the specifics of Parker's current injury haven't been revealed, he has a history of hamstring issues, including frequent appearances on practice reports in 2020. He managed to play 14 games, albeit with the hamstring issues limiting his workload in at least two of those.

Could maintain No. 1 role? Parker may still be the Dolphins' No. 1 receiver, even after the team added veteran Will Fuller and sixth overall pick Jaylen Waddle, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel r...

Impact It's far from a sure thing, considering Fuller had more yards (879) and touchdowns (eight) last season, despite being suspended the final five weeks. Granted, Fuller was playing with Deshaun Watson while Parker caught passes from Tua Tagovailoa and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Both wideouts now face QB uncertainty, and the Miami offensive line is another big question mark. On the other hand, the Dolphins now have a promising group of pass catchers, with Parker, Fuller and Waddle joined by TE Mike Gesicki and depth wide receivers Preston Williams, Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant, Allen Hurns and Lynn Bowden.

Every DeVante Parker catch from 116-yard game Week 17 Watch every catch by Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker against the Buffalo Bills in Week 17.

JANUARY 4, 2021 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Tops 100 yards in season-ending L Parker (hamstring) caught seven of 14 targets for 116 yards in Sunday's 56-26 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Parker was inundated with targets as the Dolphins desperately tried to erase a large second-half deficit, only to watch it keep ballooning, even with backup quarterback Matt Barkley under center for the Bills. After setting career highs across the board with 72 catches for 1,202 yards and nine targets last season, Parker took a step back with just 63 catches for 793 yards and four touchdowns this year. He remains the top option in Miami's passing game heading into next season, but Parker's hopes of playing in the postseason were likely dashed with this loss.

Suiting up Week 17 Parker (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Impact After his hamstring injury sidelined him for the past two games, Parker received the green light for the regular-season finale. However, since Parker was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday, he'll likely be playing at less than 100 percent in the Week 17 matchup. Expect Parker to at least serve as one of the Dolphins' starting receivers, though his snap count could be monitored more than usual if his hamstring is inhibiting him during the contest.

Listed as questionable Parker (hamstring) remained limited at practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Along with Parker, Jakeem Grant (hamstring) is also questionable, with the two wideouts' Week 17 statuses set to be confirmed when the Dolphins release their inactive list approximately 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. While Grant suited up in Week 16, Parker has missed two straight games and should be viewed as a game-time decision for a must-win contest as the Dolphins look to secure a playoff spot. For what it's worth, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post relays that Parker "looked to be running well" during the open portion of Friday's practice.

Limited practice Wednesday Parker (hamstring) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.

Impact Parker has missed Miami's last two games with his hamstring injury, but his ability to practice Wednesday -- albeit in a limited capacity -- offers hope that he could return to action Sunday against the Bills. That said, Parker was also listed as a limited practice participant the last two weeks before ultimately being inactive once game day arrived. As such, he'll likely need to upgrade to full participation by Friday for his fantasy managers to feel good about his chances of suiting up Week 17.
