DeVante Parker‘s broken middle finer is “substantially better,” Adam Beasley of the Miami Herald reports, but the receiver’s availability for the beginning of the season remains in question. Parker injured the finger on his right hand three weeks ago, keeping him out of practice since. Per Beasley, there remains uncertainty about whether Parker will play in the season opener or even the second game. Jakeem Grant is Parker’s backup on the depth chart, with Kenny Stills and Danny Amendola joining Parker as the team’s top three receivers. Albert Wilson, the backup to Stills, also is expected to be a key contributor.
The reality is that Parker has been questionable ever since the Dolphins drafted him,injured or not. BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I personally hope Parker doesn't play, simply because it means Grant will get more looks at WR1. Mighty Mouse is going to steal that position from him completely before long.
It does seem as if every time you turn around, he's hurt in some shape, form or fashion. I've been patient with him but if he doesn't shine this season, I believe it's time to part ways with him.
Parker and Carroo. I viewed them as drinking the kool aid type picks, not that they didn’t deserve to be drafted where they were, just that the phins had more pressing needs at other positions and our WRs have been good enough that we really don’t notice them not being there. Especially when you add on top of that the mismanagement of Rishard Matthews where we are missing out on quality production from a 7th round pick we could have locked up for a very reasonable amount if Philbin and co weren’t complete boneheads.
