Three catches in return
Parker recorded three catches on five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 10-7 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Parker returned from a two-game absence and finished second on the team with 42 receiving yards. He also accounted for the Patriots' two longest plays from scrimmage on catches of 19 and 17 yards. While it was a relatively positive performance, Parker has failed to top 50 receiving yards in all but one of his eight contests on the campaign.

Suits up Sunday
Parker (concussion) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Giants, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site/a> reports.
Analysis: Parker last saw game action in Week 8 but following a two-game absence and the Patriots' bye week, the veteran wideout is ready to rejoin the team's pass-catching mix Sunday. In his second season with New England, the 2015 first-rounder has recorded 15 catches (on 25 targets) for 158 yards and no TDs in seven games, and in that context Parker's fantasy upside appears modest in his return to action in Week 12. At this stage, rookie Demario Douglas profiles as the most reliable lineup option…read more

Questionable for Sunday's contest
Parker (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants after being limited in practice this week.
Analysis: Parker hasn't seen game action since Week 8, but in the wake of the Patriots' Week 11 bye and a return to limited practices this week, the veteran wideout has a chance to return to action versus New York. Even though he didn't practice fully Wednesday through Friday, Parker could get the green light to play Sunday if he gains clearance from an independent neurologist at some point Saturday. In the seven outings he's played in this season, Parker has notched 15 catches for 158 yards and no…read more

Logs limited practice
Parker (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Parker last played Week 8, but following the Patriots' Week 11 bye, a limited session Wednesday suggests that he could return to action Sunday against the Giants. In seven games to date, Parker has recorded 15 catches for 158 yards and no touchdowns on 25 targets, a rate of production that limits the veteran wideout's fantasy utility to deeper formats.

Ruled out this week
Parker (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Colts, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Though Parker was able to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday and Thursday, he was one of three players ruled out by the Patriots ahead of this weekend's game in Frankfurt, Germany. With Parker set to miss his second game in a row, the Patriots are expected to lean on Demario Douglas (ankle), JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Reagor as their top three receivers. Parker will target a return to action Nov. 26 against the Giants following the Patriots' Week 11 bye.

Logs limited practice
Parker (concussion) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Parker didn't practice last week before sitting out the Patriots' loss to the Commanders, so his return to a limited session Wednesday is a step forward for the wideout. That said, Parker will still need to clear the five-step concussion protocol in order to have a chance at suiting up Sunday against the Colts.

Ruled out this week
Parker (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Parker was spotted at the media-access portion of Friday's practice, but he ended being listed as a non-participant and won't see Week 9 action. With Parker unavailable and Kendrick Bourne (knee) on IR, the Patriots' top current healthy WRs are Demario Douglas, JuJu Smith-Schuster and Jalen Reagor, with Tyquan Thornton (foot, questionable) -- if active -- and rookie Kayshon Boutte also candidates to get in the mix.

Spotted at practice Friday
Parker (concussion) was present for the media-access portion of Friday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the wideout's presence at Friday's session offers hope that he could potentially be available Sunday against the Commanders. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will clarify whether Parker has a chance to suit up this weekend or is ruled out due to the concussion he sustained Week 8 at Miami.

Analysis: Parker also missed practice Wednesday, clouding his status for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Sits out first Week 9 practice
Parker (concussion) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker's absence for the Patriots' first Week 9 practice comes as little surprise after he entered the concussion protocol upon taking a helmet-to-helmet hit from Miami's DeShon Elliott in this past Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Dolphins. Given that Parker previously missed game action during the 2019 and 2022 seasons due to concussions, he may face an uphill battle to clear the five-step protocol ahead of this weekend's game against the Commanders. If Parker ends up sitting out Week 9, the…read more

In concussion protocol
Parker is in the NFL's concussion protocol after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit during Sunday's 31-17 loss to the Dolphins, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Prior to exiting Sunday's contest, Parker had logged 23 snaps on offense, while catching one of his two targets for 14 yards. It remains to be seen if Parker will be able to gain medical clearance ahead of this coming weekend's game against the Commanders, but either way once he's able to play, the 30-year-old, who has caught one pass in each of his last three outings, could be a candidate to see added targets, given that New England's top pass catcher Kendrick Bourne reportedly tore his right…read more

Exits Sunday after hard hit
Parker won't return to Sunday's game against the Dolphins after sustaining a head injury on a helmet-to-helmet hit in the third quarter, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker was on the receiving end of a hard hit from Dolphins safety DeShon Elliott and appeared to have trouble regaining balance after he was walked off the field following the play in question. Given that he missed multiple games in 2022 with a concussion, the Patriots' decision to quickly rule Parker out for the day comes as little surprise. Prior to his exit, Parker caught one of his two targets for 14 yards.

Catches lone target Sunday
Parker caught his only target for eight yards in Sunday's 29-25 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Parker's 35 snaps (out of a possible 60) were a season-low mark, with part of that attributable to practice-squad elevation Jalen Reagor logging 25 snaps in the contest. In any case, following back-to-back one-catch efforts, Parker profiles as a speculative fantasy lineup option ahead of the Patriots' Week 8 game against the Dolphins, who drafted the wideout 14th overall in 2015.

One catch Sunday
Parker was on the field for 45 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Raiders, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Given that JuJu Smith-Schuster and Demario Douglas were both out with concussions, Parker and Kendrick Bourne headed the Patriots' Week 6 WR corps, but Parker wound up with just one catch on three targets for seven yards. With Smith-Schuster and Douglas candidates to return in Week 7 and Tyquan Thornton also in the mix, Parker looks like a speculative lineup option ahead of this Sunday's game against the Bills. In five games this season, the 2015 first-rounder has caught 13 of his 22 targets…read more

Two catches in shutout loss
Parker secured two of four targets of 20 yards in the Patriots' 34-0 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran's numbers were underwhelming but also a byproduct of the Patriots' poor quarterback play on the part of both Mac Jones and Bailey Zappe. Parker's season numbers seemingly don't have much hope for improvement for that very reason, but he will have an appealing matchup on paper in a Week 6 road matchup against the Raiders.

Two catches in blowout loss
Parker recorded two receptions on four targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Cowboys.
Analysis: Parker generated an underwhelming line, though the entire Patriots' offense failed to deliver. Positively, he did account for the team's second-longest gain from scrimmage on a 22-yard catch with six minutes remaining in the game. While Parker delivered a six-catch, 57-yard performance in Week 2, he's combined to record only four receptions for 52 yards across a pair of contests since.

Just three targets in Week 3
Parker caught two of three targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 15-10 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parker had the third-most receiving yards on the team behind Pharaoh Brown (71) and Kendrick Bourne (46) in the low-scoring win. While he's locked into a starting role on the outside, Parker has a low target floor in a run-heavy New England offense. He'll look to bounce back in Week 4 against a Dallas secondary that recently lost Trevon Diggs (knee) for the season.

Cleared to play Week 3
Parker (knee) doesn't have an injury designation ahead of Sunday's Week 3 game against the Jets, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Dolphins, recording six catches for 57 scoreless yards. He'll see a lot of Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed in coverage this week, making Parker an unexciting fantasy play.

Limited again Thursday
Parker (knee) remained limited in practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker was limited all last week in practice but made his season debut in Week 2 against the Dolphins and played all 74 offensive snaps, turning in a 6-57-0 line on eight targets. Parker should be out there as an every-down wideout in a tougher Week 3 draw against the Jets.

He took on a full workload right off the bat, playing all 71 of the Patriots' offensive snaps while catching six passes on eight targets for a team-high 57 yards. With no setbacks having been reported coming out of the Week 2 contest, Parker's listed limitations Wednesday may have been maintenance-related.

Leads team with 57 yards
Parker (knee) had six receptions on eight targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.
Analysis: Parker was a game-time decision for Sunday Night Football after a week of limited practice due to a knee injury. The veteran receiver suited up and wound up leading the team in receiving on a quiet offensive night. Parker trailed only Kendrick Bourne's nine targets, but the latter did far less with his opportunities Sunday. Expect the now-healthy Parker to serve as one of the Patriots' top wideouts against the Jets next Sunday.

Parker (knee) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Dolphins.
Analysis: After being a limited participant in practice last week, Parker was inactive for the Patriots' season-opening loss to the Eagles. Following limited sessions Wednesday through Friday this time around, Parker is back in action Sunday and figures to step into a key role in a New England WR corps that also features JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne, with Demario Douglas also a candidate to mix in along with practice squad elevation Jalen Reagor.

Analysis: Parker was inactive for the Patriots' season-opening loss to the Eagles, but if he's cleared ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, he could step into a key role as the team's primary "X" receiver, a role largely handled by Kayshon Boutte in Week 1, per Evan Lazar of the team's official site.

Parker (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Parker, who was inactive for the Patriots' season-opening loss to the Eagles on Sunday, was also limited at practice throughout last week.

Analysis: Official word on Parker's status won't arrive until the Patriots release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but barring a dramatic turnaround in his recovery from the knee injury, the wideout will sit out the season opener. As a result, the likes of Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte could see increased snaps at receiver alongside JuJu Smith-Schuster and Kendrick Bourne.

Analysis: Parker, who had one year remaining on his current deal, appeared in 13 games for the Patriots last season and caught 31 of 47 targets for 539 yards and three touchdowns, but his overall stats were boosted by a stellar 6-79-2 receiving line in Week 18. The 2015 first-round pick has struggled to stay healthy since turning in a career year with Miami in 2019, but when available, he's still able to make an impact.

Analysis: Parker, who last suited up Week 14, is thus slated to reclaim a key role in the Patriots' wideout corps in the regular-season finale. Prior to missing the last three games, Parker logged a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets through 12 games, a rate of production that puts him on the fantasy radar in deeper formats in Week 18.

Analysis: In his first practice since suffering a concussion in the Patriots' Week 14 win over the Cardinals, Parker's reps were capped, but his return to the field in any capacity suggests that he has a chance to return to the lineup for Sunday's game against the Bills. If so, Parker would be in line to reclaim his usual starting role out wide for New England. In 12 appearances this season, Parker has put together a 25-460-1 receiving line on 40 targets.

Analysis: Parker suffered a head injury Monday in Arizona and was unable to return, and he eventually entered the concussion protocol, joining teammate Jakobi Meyers. While Meyers has a chance to limit himself to a one-game absence this weekend, Parker will sit out, leaving the Patriots with a potential receiving corps of Meyers, Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton, among others, Sunday. Parker's next opportunity to play will arrive Saturday, Dec. 24 against the Bengals.

Still not practicing
Parker (concussion) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Parker missed practice Wednesday as well, so his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders is cloudy at this stage. If the wideout doesn't gain clearance to play this weekend, added Week 15 snaps would be available to some combo of Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

In protocol, missing from practice
Parker isn't practicing Wednesday after he entered the concussion protocol following his early exit in Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: After sitting out the win over Arizona, fellow wideout Jakobi Meyers (concussion) was also absent from the media-access portion of practice, potentially putting both receivers at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Raiders. At this stage of the week, the Patriots' top healthy wideouts are Nelson Agholor, Kendrick Bourne and Tyquan Thornton.

Downgraded to out Monday
Parker (head) won't return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker will finish the night with two catches for 24 yards. The Patriots will have to make do with a depleted receiving corps for the remainder of Monday's game, as No. 1 option Jakobi Meyers currently is sidelined by a concussion. Running back Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) also got hurt Monday, and while he was able to return, he eventually left the contest for good.

Suffers head injury in Arizona
Parker (head) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker was wobbly after making a 10-yard catch in the first quarter. The ball came out as he was going to the ground, so the Cardinals challenged, but the referees chose not to add insult to injury, so the questionable catch stood and gave Parker two receptions for 24 yards prior to his exit.

Quiet night in loss
Parker secured two of four targets for 16 yards in the Patriots' 24-10 loss to the Bills on Thursday night.
Analysis: Parker's night was in fairly stark contrast to his solid 4-80 line in the Patriots' Thanksgiving Night loss to the Vikings, as the veteran receiver was one of several of the team's pass catchers to underperform against a tough Bills defense. Parker's production has been extremely difficult to trust on a game-to-game basis, as he's now been at two catches and 19 yards or fewer in three of the last four contests. Bigger contributions may be more feasible in a Week 14 Monday night road matchup…read more

Limited due to knee again
Parker (knee) was listed as a limited participant during Monday's practice.
Analysis: Parker went into New England's Thanksgiving Day matchup questionable due to the knee injury but led the team with 80 receiving yards on four catches. Given he played through the injury Week 12, the severity of the issue doesn't appear to be too serious. Parker will have two more opportunities to log a full practice before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Thursday's matchup against Buffalo.

Team-high yardage in Week 12 loss
Parker secured all four targets for 80 yards in the Patriots' 33-26 loss to the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: Despite coming into the day listed as questionable with a knee injury, Parker ended up pacing the team in receiving yards. The veteran speedster logged a co-team-high 40-yard grab as well, and his yardage tally was his second highest of the season. Parker's first opportunity to build on Thursday's resurgent production comes in a Week 13 home battle against the division-rival Bills next Thursday night.

Questionable for Thursday
Parker (knee) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against Minnesota, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Parker sprained his knee Oct. 30 and missed one game, returning for this past Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets en route to catching two passes for 19 yards on two targets. He played only 40 percent of snaps on offense in the contest, but a larger workload is possible in his second game back from the injury, assuming he isn't declared inactive ahead of the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Jakobi Meyers remains the only sure bet among New England's wide receivers to play more than half the offensive snaps.

Two catches in return
Parker (knee) caught both of his targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parker was quiet in his first action since Week 8 as the defenses dominated in this one. He has topped 60 receiving yards three times but has failed to reach 25 yards in any other game for the Patriots. Parker should find getting separation easier against the Vikings on Thanksgiving, as New York's secondary has made life difficult for wide receivers all season.

Analysis: Parker would be expected to miss only one game if he does miss time, per Rapoport, as the Patriots will have a bye following Week 9's matchup against Indianapolis. Whether or not Parker does miss Week 9 will likely come down to what he's able to do in practices this week, so the 29-year-old wideout's situation will warrant monitoring.

Team-high yardage total in win
Parker secured four of six targets for 64 yards in the Patriots' 38-15 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran was one of several Patriots pass catchers to record a reception of over 20 yards and led the team in yardage overall. Parker's performance was an especially welcome sight after he was blanked over 28 snaps while also working with Bailey Zappe as his quarterback against the Lions in Week 5, and he'll now potentially have an opportunity to once again work in tandem with Mac Jones (ankle) in a Week 7 Monday night home matchup against the Bears.

Logs 31 snaps in Week 5
Parker, who was on the field for 31 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 29-0 win over the Lions, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, did not record a catch in the contest.
Analysis: According to Nick O'Malley of masslive.com, both times Parker was the intended target Sunday, Detroit was flagged for pass interference. Five games into the current campaign, Parker has been targeted more than twice just one time, back in Week 3, when he recorded a 5-156-0 line on 10 targets. Until the 29-year-old begins to log steady volume, he'll continue to be a hit-or-miss fantasy option regardless of whether Week 5 starter Bailey Zappe or Mac Jones (ankle) is under center for the Patriots.

Parker caught both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Packers.
Analysis: Parker followed last week's monster 156-yard outing by scoring his first touchdown as a Patriot. In reality, though, he was fortunate his touchdown play wasn't called dead due to a delay of game prior to the snap.

Parker secured five of 10 targets for 156 yards in the Patriots' 37-26 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker led the way for the Pats in receptions, receiving yards and targets, putting together a performance befitting of his downfield prowess. The veteran had just been shut out altogether in Week 2 and had recorded just one catch in the opener, so to say Sunday's performance came out of nowhere is an understatement. Parker could play a key role once again when the Patriots tangle with the Packers on the road in Week 4.

Held without a catch in Week 2
Parker, who was on the field for 52 of a possible 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 17-14 win over the Steelers, did not record a catch in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Though Parker logged the second-most snaps among the Patriots' wide receivers Week 2, he saw only two targets in the contest, with Jakobi Meyers (13 targets, nine catches) and Nelson Agholor (six catches on six targets) pacing the team's passing attack against Pittsburgh. Two games into his 2022 season, Parker has just one catch (on four targets) for nine yards, and until he picks up the pace the 29-year-old won't be a reliable fantasy option.

Held to one catch Sunday
Parker, who was on the field for all 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-7 loss to Miami, caught one of his two targets for nine yards in the contest, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: From a fantasy perspective, the most encouraging thing about Parker's regular-season debut was his workload, as the 2015 first-rounder and Jakobi Meyers (50 snaps) were the Patriots' busiest wideouts Week 1, ahead of Nelson Agholor (33 snaps) and Kendrick Bourne (two snaps). While Parker no doubt will have better weeks production-wise, he'll profile as a speculative fantasy option until he sees increased target volume in New England's offense.

Parker brought in two of four targets for nine yards in the Patriots' 23-6 preseason loss to the Raiders on Friday night.
Analysis: Parker naturally opened the game with several of his first-unit teammates and drew the first target from Mac Jones as well.

Per Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald, coach Bill Belichick indicated after the game all his healthy starters would be available for New England's preseason finale next week against the Raiders, so Parker should get his best opportunity yet next Friday to establish some chemistry with Jones prior to Week 1.

Analysis: While we won't read too much into a couple of good plays during the early stages of training camp, it's encouraging that the 29-year-old wideout -- who arrived via a trade with Miami in April -- is healthy and off to a good start at practice this summer. At 6-foot-3, 218 pounds, Parker is a big-bodied receiver who could emerge as a useful red-zone target for second-year QB Mac Jones.

Analysis: With the emergence of Jaylen Waddle in 2021 and the recent addition of Tyreek Hill, Parker was the odd-man out in Miami. He recorded just 40 receptions for 515 yards and two touchdowns across 10 games for the Dolphins last year.

Parker secured two of four targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 33-24 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Parker saw his involvement on offense decline during the regular-season finale, after having drawn 13 looks from Tua Tagovailoa in Week 17. The veteran wideout ends his 2021 campaign with unimpressive numbers across 10 appearances, with 40 catches for 515 yards and two touchdowns on 73 targets. Parker has two years left on his four-year, $30.5 million contract, but with Miami having moved on from coach Brian Flores, more shakeups could be coming.

Sees big target boost in loss
Parker brought in four of 13 targets for 46 yards in the Dolphins' 34-3 loss to the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker easily paced the Dolphins in targets while co-leading the team in catches alongside Mike Gesicki. The veteran had gone without so much as a single target across 41 snaps back in Week 16 against the Saints, so despite the inefficiency Sunday, it was still a marked improvement from just six days prior.

Meanwhile, rookie wideout Jaylen Waddle drew a team-high 12 targets, with the large disparity likely a result of Parker being shadowed by star cornerback Marshon Lattimore for a good portion of the game while Tua Tagovailoa took what was given to him underneath.

Analysis: Parker is eligible to play Sunday against the Panthers after spending the required three games on IR, but the fact that the Dolphins didn't open up his 21-day window evaluation for the start of Week 12 prep isn't a positive early sign for his chances of suiting up this weekend. Will Fuller (finger) also has yet to be designated for return from IR, so Miami could be in line for another game without two of its starting receivers.

May not be activated Week 12
Coach Brian Flores said Monday he's unsure whether Parker (shoulder) will be designated to return from IR in Week 12, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker is eligible to return as early as Sunday's upcoming game against the Panthers, but it looks like the Dolphins aren't yet certain whether he's progressed well enough in his recovery. Flores said the same of Will Fuller (finger). As the week goes on, the team will continue to evaluate both wideouts, but for now it looks like Tua Tagovailoa again could have to operate with the likes of Preston Williams, Mack Hollins, Isaiah Ford and Albert Wilson rotating into the lineup.

Officially placed on IR
The Dolphins placed Parker (shoulder/hamstring) on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Suffers setback
Coach Brian Flores said Friday that Parker (shoulder/hamstring) suffered a setback this week and isn't expected to play Sunday against the Texans, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

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.
Analysis: 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 Week 9.

Analysis: Parker, who practiced in a limited fashion this past week, thus returns the Dolphins' lineup after missing the team's last three games.

Analysis: 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.

Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: 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.

Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is expected to be available for Sunday's game at Buffalo, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Flores added that he's "hopeful" Parker will be able to practice Thursday and Friday to put himself on track to play in Sunday's game against the Bills. Parker has missed three straight games, but the Dolphins haven't placed him on injured reserve, an indication that the team expects him to return sooner than later.

Not suiting up Sunday
Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: 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.

Parker led the Dolphins in receiving yardage with the help of a game-long 42-yard grab, and the late score was his first of the campaign.

Parker caught five of nine targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: Parker led the team in targets and finished second behind Jaylen Waddle (six catches for 48 yards on eight targets) in both receptions and receiving yards. Miami's entire offense struggled, as backup Jacoby Brissett threw for just 169 yards on 40 attempts after replacing Tua Tagovailoa (ribs). Will Fuller (personal) would provide more competition for targets if he makes his return in Week 3 against the Raiders, and Miami's entire offense will be tough to trust if Tagovailoa remains sidelined.

Analysis: Will Fuller, who was expected to return to the team's lineup this weekend, won't be available for Sunday's contest due to a personal matter. In Week 1, Parker recorded a 4-81-0 stat line on a team-high seven targets, while Waddle hauled in four of his five targets for 61 yards and a TD. Both players figure to continue to be key cogs in Miami's passing game in Week 2, with Albert Wilson, Preston Williams (foot/knee), Mack Hollins and Jakeem Grant also candidates to mix in.

Provides big plays
Parker recorded four receptions on seven targets for 81 yards in Sunday's Week 1 victory over New England.
Analysis: Parker took advantage of the absence of Will Fuller (suspension) to lead the team in both targets and yards. He served as a big-play threat throughout the contest, racking up gains of 30, 23, 15 and 13 yards. Though Parker missed significant portions of training camp, he managed to top 80 receiving yards -- a feat he accomplished only three times in 2020. Fuller's return in Week 2 against the Bills will crowd Miami's wide receiver corps, but Parker should keep a significant role in the offense.

Parker progressively has increased his involvement in practice, including a busy session Saturday when he caught a bunch of passes from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 11-on-11s, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: 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.

Analysis: Reports suggest Parker is bothered by a minor soft-tissue injury, with his history of hamstring issues perhaps encouraging the Dolphins to be cautious.

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 reports.
Analysis: 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.

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.
Analysis: 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…read more

Suiting up Week 17
Parker (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: 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.
Analysis: 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 an important contest as the Dolphins look to secure a playoff spot.

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

Present at Wednesday's practice
Parker (hamstring) was spotted taking part in practice Wednesday, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker has sat out consecutive games due to a lingering hamstring injury, with his absence likely contributing to Tua Tagovailoa's limited effectiveness through the air during last weekend's win over the Raiders. With a playoff berth at stake Week 17 in Buffalo, the 27-year-old will work to do everything in his power to get ready for Sunday.

Analysis: As was the case in advance of Week 15 action, Parker, Jakeem Grant (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are all listed as questionable by Miami, a context that sets up the trio to profile as game-time decisions for Saturday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. If Parker and Grant aren't active this weekend, Lynn Bowden, Mack Hollins and Isaiah Ford once again would be in line for added Week 16 snaps/targets.

Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: Parker wasn't able to suit up against the Patriots last weekend, despite logging a trio of limited practices leading up to the contest. As a result, he can't be considered a good bet to play Sunday versus the Raiders unless he progresses to full participation in practice Thursday. Fellow pass catchers Jakeem Grant (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) were also limited Wednesday.

It's potentially a good sign for the Dolphins, as Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) are also questionable.

Parker (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker has strung together three consecutive limited practices since being forced out of last weekend's loss to the Chiefs, so he at least appears to have a shot to suit up Sunday. With Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and Jakeem Grant (hamstring) also listed as questionable, Parker's status will be of even greater import than usual in what's shaping up to be a must-win matchup for Miami.

Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The fact that Parker handled limited reps is an encouraging sight, given that he was forced out early in last weekend's loss to the Chiefs due to a hamstring strain. The Dolphins will no doubt prioritize getting Parker healthy as Sunday's matchup with the Patriots looms, lest rookie Tua Tagovailoa be forced to operate without his top receiver. Tagovailoa already looks poised to be without top tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) for the Week 15 contest.

Practicing Wednesday
Parker (hamstring) was spotted on the field at the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker was forced out of last weekend's loss to the Chiefs before he could record a catch, but the slight hamstring strain he sustained in the contest doesn't look like it will keep him from practicing to start the week. Meanwhile, tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) and wideout Jakeem Grant (hamstring) both look uncertain for Sunday's game against the Patriots, making Parker's health of greater importance than usual this week.

Tending to strained hamstring
Parker suffered a slight hamstring strain during the Dolphins' Week 14 loss to the Chiefs, and his status for Sunday's game against the Patriots is to be determined, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Parker was forced out of this past Sunday's contest with what was termed a leg injury, and while he was deemed questionable to return, he was unable to get back on the field. He thus was blanked on his two targets, marking just the second time this season he's failed to reach 30 receiving yards in a game. Miami reconvenes for practice Wednesday, at which point the team will set the stage for his initial Week 15 status.

The 27-year-old thus will be available for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs, a game in which Miami will no doubt need every offensive weapon possible.

Booted late in win
Parker secured four of eight targets for 35 yards in the Dolphins' 19-7 win over the Bengals on Sunday. He eventually was ejected for fighting with 12:07 remaining in the fourth quarter, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker had a surprisingly meager stat line before his early exit on a day in which quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 296 yards, but he narrowly missed coming down with a couple of end-zone targets. The disappointment over the veteran wideout's sparse production is somewhat offset by the fact he did check in second on the team in targets, giving him at least seven looks in five consecutive contests.

Tua Tagovailoa (thumb) will re-enter the starting lineup against the Bengals in Week 13 as long as he's healthy, per Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.

Finds end zone in loss
Parker caught six of nine targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Broncos.
Analysis: His three-yard grab late in the first quarter gave the Dolphins an early lead, but it was the only TD they would score on the afternoon. Parker led Miami in catches, targets and receiving yards, and he remains the team's clear No. 1 wideout heading into Week 12's clash with a Jets defense that just got torched by the Chargers' passing attack.

Analysis: Parker's pedestrian day would have been much better had he not narrowly missed getting his second foot in on an impressive catch attempt in the right corner of the end zone late in the third quarter. The veteran wideout therefore had a relatively pedestrian day, leading to his second-lowest yardage tally of the campaign.

Parker caught six of seven targets for 64 yards during Sunday's 34-31 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Parker led the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage as he came through with his best output since Week 4. He didn't break off any long gains but showed a solid rapport with Tua Tagovailoa as he led the team in all major receiving categories. Perhaps most importantly, Tagovailoa looked much more comfortable in this one than he did last week in his first NFL start and should be a boon for Parker's fantasy value if he can continue his ascent next Sunday in a home matchup with a beatable…read more

Analysis: Parker was limited by a groin injury during the week's first two practices, but as expected he's on track for Sunday's game against the Rams.

Coach Brian Flores said Monday that Parker (hamstring) will focus on rehabbing his injury to begin the week, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker won't practice Monday and Tuesday, and the Dolphins hope to get a better idea of the severity of his left hamstring injury by midweek. He aggravated the issue Week 1. While a concrete update on Parker's health may not come until Wednesday's first practice report of the week, it looks as though his status for Week 2 versus Buffalo is legitimately uncertain. If Parker is forced to miss time, quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will likely turn to Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki as his top…read more

Likely to miss time
Parker (hamstring) likely will be out for "a bit," according to Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com.
Analysis: Parker left Sunday's 21-11 loss to New England in the third quarter after he aggravated his hamstring injury from training camp. He caught each of his four targets for 47 yards prior to the early exit, but it sounds like his availability is in serious doubt for Week 2 against Buffalo. Isaiah Ford and Jakeem Grant are the top candidates to pick up Parker's snaps, while Preston Williams and Mike Gesicki could also see more targets.

Aggravates hamstring Sunday
Parker aggravated a left hamstring injury during Sunday's 21-11 loss at New England, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the two-plus weeks leading up to the Dolphins' season opener, Parker tended to the issue and was limited during the entirety of Week 1 prep. However, he entered Sunday's game with no injury designation. At the time of his departure early in the second half, he had four catches (on four targets) for a team-high 47 yards. While the team monitors Parker throughout the upcoming week, fellow wide receivers Preston Williams, Jakeem Grant and Isaiah Ford may have to fill in for him in the short…read more

Exits with hamstring injury
Parker (hamstring) was forced out of Sunday's game versus the Patriots.
Analysis: Parker battled a hamstring injury throughout the practice week, and he tried to play through it Sunday. However, it seemed to flare up on the 27-year-old wideout in the first half, and it seems unlikely he returns. Preston Williams will be the de facto No. 1 receiver while Parker is on the sidelines.

Good to go Week 1
Parker (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game in New England, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Parker was hindered down the stretch of training camp and limited during the first two sessions of Week 1 due to a hamstring injury. That said, he capped the week with a "full" tag and will be ready to handle a starting spot at outside receiver in the season opener. The same can be said for Preston Williams (knee), meaning quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick will have an intact receiving corps at his disposal Sunday.

Practicing again Friday
Parker (hamstring) suited up for Friday's practice, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: It's not clear how much work Parker got in, but he was able to take the practice field for the third straight day. His status for Sunday's season opener against the Patriots will be revealed after Friday's session comes to a close.

Reps capped again
Parker (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Josh Tolentino of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Like Parker, Preston Williams (knee) was also limited for the second day in a row, but both of Miami's projected starting outside receivers are still expected to be good to go for Sunday's season opener at New England. Though he established himself as Miami's clear top target with a career-best 2019 campaign, Parker did the bulk of his damage over the final eight games while Williams was sidelined due to an ACL tear. Parker hauled in 44 passes for 802 yards in the back half of the Dolphins'…read more

Limited Wednesday
Parker (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Hal Habib of The Palm Beach Post reports.
Analysis: On Tuesday, Parker took part in practice for the first time in two weeks, wearing full pads and also a white sleeve to protect his left hamstring. He seems to be working his way back slowly but surely, with Friday's injury report ultimately giving a sense of his availability for a Week 1 visit to New England. With Jakeem Grant (undisclosed) not on Wednesday's injury report and Preston Williams (knee) putting in a limited session, the Dolphins may have their receiving corps at full strength in…read more

Set to practice again
Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said Parker (hamstring) would practice again Wednesday, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: Parker was on the field Tuesday, marking the first time in nearly two weeks that he practiced in full pads. The Dolphins will release their first Week 1 injury report later Wednesday, at which time it will be known whether Parker is practicing on a full or limited basis. Even if he has his reps capped Wednesday, Parker would still seemingly put himself on track for Sunday's season opener in New England.

Back at practice
Parker (hamstring) is taking part in Tuesday's practice, donning full pads while wearing a white compression sleeve over his left thigh/hamstring area, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: According to Josh Tolentino of The Athletic, Parker is practicing in full uniform for the first time in two weeks, a positive sign for his chances of being available in Sunday's season opener at New England. The Dolphins won't release their first 2020 injury report until Wednesday, so it won't be known until that time whether Parker is practicing on a full or limited basis. Assuming he gains clearance for Week 1, Parker should represent the clear top threat in the passing game for Miami after…read more

Nearing full health
Coach Brian Flores hopes Parker (undisclosed) will come off the injury report next week, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Parker has recently been held out of practice due to an undisclosed injury, but Flores has been consistent in downplaying the severity of the issue. If Parker is indeed able to return to practice without limitations next week, any concerns about his availability for Sept. 13's season-opener against New England will be shed. When healthy, Parker will slot in as Ryan Fitzpatrick's top receiving option.

Should be fine
Parker (undisclosed) and Jakeem Grant (undisclosed) both should be ready for Week 1 against New England, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: The wide receivers have missed some practice time of late, with the most recent report putting Parker on an exercise bike during Tuesday's session. It sounds like the Dolphins are merely being cautious with minor injuries, so there won't be any need for serious concern unless Parker remains sidelined next week.

Held out of practice again
Parker (undisclosed) rode an exercise bike while the Dolphins were practicing Tuesday, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: It's reportedly been about a week since Parker had any significant involvement in practice. While there hasn't been any suggestion his Week 1 availability is in question, the situation will need to be monitored as the Dolphins draw nearer to their season opener against the Patriots.

Parker has been bothered by a minor injury of late, Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald reports.

Opportunity abounds
The Dolphins' aerial offense is primed to focus primarily on Parker and Preston Williams (knee) on the outside in 2020, Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker, Williams and Mike Gesicki are positioned to enter the season as Miami's only remotely proven weapons in the passing game. Even out of that trio, only Parker managed to eclipse 600 receiving yards last season (1,202), and Williams is still uncertain for Week 1 due to his recovery from a torn ACL. As such, in the wake of top slot candidates Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns having opted out for the 2020 campaign, Parker is set to kick off the year as Miami's unquestioned No. 1 weapon in the…read more

Excellent finish to season
Parker secured eight of 11 targets for 137 yards in the Dolphins' 27-24 win over the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker finished his career-best season in fitting fashion, leading the team in receptions, receiving yardage and targets while posting his second straight 100-yard effort in the process. Parker came alive over the last seven games of the campaign, a possible career-changing stretch for the previously disappointing 2015 first-round pick. Sunday's tally, which included key catches on the Dolphins' game-winning drive in the fourth quarter, pushed Parker's final 2019 line to 72-1,202-9, with all…read more

Inefficient but productive in win
Parker secured five of 15 targets for 111 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' 38-35 overtime win against the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker paced the Dolphins in receiving yardage and targets on the afternoon, with the 100-yard performance vaulting him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season for the first time in his career. It was also Parker's third time eclipsing the century mark in the last six contests, while his seven-yard scoring grab in the first quarter was his fifth over the last four games alone. Parker's breakout campaign is emblematic of the unusual transition season it's been for Miami, but his fantasy…read more

Set to suit up Sunday
Parker (hip) doesn't carry a designation for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
Analysis: Parker has tended to a concussion and hip injury during the final month of the season, but the latter won't impact his ability to serve as the Dolphins' No. 1 pass catcher this weekend. Just 46 yards shy of the first 1,000-yard season of his five-year career, he's a decent bet to get there Sunday versus a Cincinnati defense that has conceded 9.1 yards per target to wide receivers this season.

Upgrades to full practice
Parker (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Parker was limited due to a hip injury to begin the week, but he's already managed to shed all restrictions. Barring any setbacks, the emerging wideout can be considered on track for his usual No. 1 role in Miami's receiving corps against the Bengals on Sunday.

Limited with hip injury
Parker was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis: Parker reportedly intends to suit up for Miami's final two contests of the season despite his injury, which he may have picked up in the Week 15 loss to the Giants. The newly extended wideout will have two more chances to upgrade his level of his practice activity ahead of a favorable matchup Sunday with the Bengals. Discounting Week 14 when he exited early due to a concussion, Parker is averaging six catches for 114.25 yards and one touchdown across his last four full games.

Fifth-year breakout continues
Parker caught four of seven targets for 72 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-20 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Parker scored from 20 yards out in the second quarter and added a 29-yard touchdown in garbage time. He exited last week's game early due to a concussion, but Parker now has 24 catches for 457 yards and four touchdowns in his last four full games. The 2015 first-rounder has eight receiving touchdowns this season, one shy of his total from his first four seasons combined. Parker will be an appealing Week 16 option in a battle of rebuilding teams against Cincinnati.

Parker is no longer in the NFL's concussion protocol and has been removed from the Dolphins' injury report ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
Analysis: After he suffered a concussion in the Week 14 loss to the Jets, Parker's status looked uncertain heading into the current week, but he progressed quickly through the NFL's five-step protocol. After closing the practice week by taking full contact Friday, Parker apparently received clearance from an independent neurologist Saturday, allowing him to exit the protocol. Before being forced out early in Week 14, Parker had recorded at least 50 receiving yards in seven straight games, a string of…read more

Parker (concussion) signed a four-year contract extension with the Dolphins on Friday.

The wideout will still need to meet with an independent neurologist before his availability for Sunday's game is determined, but Parker looks to be trending in the right direction at this point.

Analysis: Parker hasn't cleared the league's concussion protocol just yet, but ditching the non-contact jersey is a step in the right direction. His status for the Week 15 game against the Giants will be announced after Friday's practice comes to a close, but unless he's fully cleared of the protocol, a final call on his availability may not be made until game day.

That said, coach Brian Flores said Thursday that Parker will remain in the concussion protocol at least "through the end of the week," according to Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun Sentinel, so he can't be considered a lock to gain clearance in time for Sunday's tilt against the Giants.

Rampant production in Week 13 win
Parker corralled seven of 10 targets for 159 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's 37-31 win against the Eagles.
Analysis: Parker had a monumental impact on the outcome of Sunday's game, as his 43-yard touchdown catch from Ryan Fitzpatrick on a fourth-and-4 late in the first quarter completely shifted the tenor of the contest. He flashed later with a 17-yard TD reception to get Miami within one possession midway through the third quarter and came down with two catches for 42 yards on the Dolphins' go-ahead drive in the final five minutes of regulation.

Six-catch effort in loss
Parker brought in six of 11 targets for 91 yards in the Dolphins' 41-24 loss to the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Parker shared the team lead in receptions with Albert Wilson while pacing the Dolphins in receiving yardage. The 2015 first-round pick is quietly putting together a solid season, as he's become a favorite downfield target of Ryan Fitzpatrick's and now has 695 receiving yards through 11 games, the second-highest tally of his career. Parker has at least five receptions in five of the last six games, giving him a solid fantasy floor in all formats heading into a Week 13 battle versus the Eagles.

Parker caught seven of 10 targets for 135 yards during Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: It was a rough day for the Dolphins, but Parker managed to make some big plays deep with a catch-and-run of 50 yards late in the second quarter and then a 45-yard catch down the sideline on fourth down midway through the fourth quarter. The Dolphins are battling with a depleted roster in a season that seems intended to jump on a rebuild, but a player of Parker's talents who is being fed the way Parker has still holds value.

Paces Dolphins with 10 targets
Parker converted five of his 10 targets into receptions for 69 yards in the team's Week 10 victory over the Colts.
Analysis: Parker continued his emergence as the team's alpha receiver, with no other Dolphin topping six targets. In addition to the volume, Parker provided some threat down the field by hauling in two passes for 20 or more yards and surpassing 10 yards on four of his five receptions. Though he has yet to reach the century mark, Parker now has four consecutive games with more than 50 receiving yards.

Ties career-best TD total
Parker hauled in four of six targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-18 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Parker's 17-yard touchdown in the second quarter was his fourth of the season, tying his career high set back in 2016. The 2015 first-rounder hasn't lived up to his lofty draft billing, but this subpar Miami team doesn't exactly have many alternatives to turn to on offense, so wide receivers Parker and Preston Williams -- who left in the fourth quarter due to a knee injury -- should continue to do most of the damage for the Dolphins. Up next for Parker is a Week 10 road clash with the Colts.
