Carr active for Raiders, Parker out for Dolphins
Quarterback Derek Carr is active for the Las Vegas Raiders after leaving last week’s game with an injured groinDECEMBER 27, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
JAKEEM GRANT
Suiting up Week 16 Grant (hamstring) is active for Saturday's game at Las Vegas.
Impact The Dolphins waited until the last second to make a decision on Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder). Both Grant and Gesicki are available to the offense, but Parker will miss a second consecutive contest. As a result, a few more targets may be freed up for Grant as Miami faces an exploitable Raiders defense.

Listed as questionable for Week 16 Grant (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Saturday night's game against the Raiders.
Impact As is wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder), while the trio's Week 16 status may not be clarified until game time in advance of Saturday night's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.

Another limited session Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Impact Grant, DeVante Parker (hamstring) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are all practicing on a limited basis, and each member of the trio missed last weekend's win over the Patriots despite practicing in the same capacity leading up to that contest. Grant, like Parker and Gesicki, will likely have to upgrade to full reps Thursday in order to avoid an injury designation for Week 16.

Limited to begin Week 16 Grant (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Tuesday's practice report, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.
Impact Along with Grant, tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and DeVante Parker (hamstring) were deemed limited participants to begin Week 16 after all three pass catchers sat out Sunday's win over the Patriots.

Unlikely to go Sunday Grant (hamstring), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, isn't expected to play, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact The Dolphins notably elevated Isaiah Ford from their practice squad Saturday, a move that gives the team added wide receiver depth if Grant is indeed made inactive prior to the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. On the plus side for Miami's offense, top wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) "is hopeful he can play" versus New England, per Pelissero.

Draws questionable tag The Dolphins are listing Grant (hamstring) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Grant will carry a designation into the Week 15 matchup after the hamstring injury rendered him a limited participant in practice Wednesday through Friday. He'll be one of three key Dolphins pass catchers entering Sunday's game in shaky health, as wideout DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are also listed as questionable.
DECEMBER 18, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Limited again Thursday Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's walk-through practice, Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Grant will have one more opportunity to upgrade his practice activity before Sunday's game against the Patriots, but as things currently stand it looks like he has at least a chance of suiting up. Friday's final injury report of the week will provide more clarity on Grant's status.

Begins week with limited practice Grant (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Impact Grant can't yet be considered a lock for Sunday's game against the Patriots, but it's encouraging to see that he's able to practice in some capacity. DeVante Parker (hamstring) was also limited Wednesday, though top tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) appears set to miss time.

Dolphins may need to win 2 of final 3 games for playoff spot
The Miami Dolphins’ playoff odds and injury report are both longer this week in the wake of a loss to the Kansas City ChiefsDECEMBER 14, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Uncertain for Week 15 Grant (hamstring) is considered week-to-week, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Impact Grant was forced out of Sunday's narrow loss to the Chiefs early, and it looks like he isn't a lock to return against the Patriots in Week 15. With DeVante Parker (leg) and Mike Gesicki (shoulder) both also having been forced out Sunday, and Preston Williams (foot) already on IR, the Dolphins' pass-catching corps can scarcely afford more attrition.
