DeVante Parker breaks finger during Dolphins training camp The i

njuries continue to mount for wide receiver DeVante Parker William Hayes Jersey , who has not been able to shake the bug throughout his Miami Dolphins career. Selected in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft, Parker has the potential to be a great wide receiver at the NFL level, but leg issues, particularly hamstring and groin problems, seem to set him back every season. He has also played with broken ribs.Add to that list now a hand problem. Parker broke his middle finger, according to the Palm Beach Post’s Joe Schad. The team and Parker are hopeful that he will be available for the season opener on September 9 against the Tennessee Titans.“Right now, we’re going to be going week to week,” head coach Adam Gase said of Parker’s injury following Tuesday’s practice. “Right now, he wouldn’t be able to catch the ball Akeem Spence Jersey , so we’ll just keep evaluating that. We just need to make sure that we’re keeping him in great shape and when they tell us that he’s good to go, then we’ll have him ready to go.”Asked how the injury occurred, Gase explained, “It think his hand got stuck in shoulder pads. It was a very odd looking play.”The Dolphins could look to use Albert Wilson or Jakeem Grant outside as Parker’s primary replacement during the preseason, or into the regular season if needed, lining them up opposite Kenny Stills. Danny Amendola is expected to be the primary slot receiver for the team this year. The Dolphins could also see Isaiah Ford and Leonte Carroo pick up snaps in the preseason games Parker will miss. Ryan Tannehill gave a verbal thumbs-up Wednesday regarding the health of his shoulder, as he has done daily since rejoining the Miami Dolphins‘ lineup last week.He literally made that gesture to the bench a couple of times during Sunday’s loss at Indianapolis , Tannehill’s first game in seven weeks. He was responding to inquiries via headset from coach Adam Gase.“Sometimes Gase will pop in my helmet and just make sure everything is all right,” Tannehill said with a smile. “He’s like my mom A.J. Derby Jersey , like, ‘Are you OK?'”Physically Tannehill is OK, yes. Returning from an injury to the capsule in his throwing shoulder, he said the pain is manageable and not as bad as last week. He’s wearing a shoulder harness on the field but said his play isn’t affected by the injury. He participated fully in practice Wednesday, which is more than he did last week.More Miami Dolphins newsDolphins new QB Josh Rosen bids goodbye to Arizona, congratulates Kyler MurrayDolphins bolster defense, provide Josh Rosen with another shot to be franchise QBDolphins acquire QB Josh Rosen from Cardinals for 62nd pick, 5th-rounder in 2020Dolphins go defense in 1st round, draft Clemson DT Christian Wilkins with 13th pickDolphins Draft Preview: Franchise QB likely out of reach Josh Sitton Jersey , building foundation with new coach Brian Flores is focal pointBut aside from his health, things are very much in doubt. Tannehill’s streak of never taking a snap in the postseason will likely continue, with the Dolphins (5-6) trying to break a downward spiral when they face Buffalo (4-7) on Sunday.Beyond this year, the 30-year-old Tannehill’s future is very much in doubt. His contract balloons to $18.7 million in base salary in 2019, when he would count $26.6 million against the salary cap, which could compel the Dolphins to seek a cheaper, younger alternative at quarterback.Now 40-43 as a starter, Tannehill said he hasn’t been given any assurances beyond this season. He might need to play well in the final five weeks to keep his job.“I don’t know what the agenda is, but that’s my goal 鈥?to go play well and lead this team to wins Daniel Kilgore Jersey ,” he said. “I don’t try to think about things I can’t control; just go out and control what I can control and play as best I can.”He played well last week and ranks 15th in the NFL with passer rating of 97.2, which would be a career high. But he’s leading an injury-riddled offense, which makes Tannehill’s job 鈥?and any evaluation of him 鈥?more difficult.The line is in patchwork shape, and explosive, versatile receivers Albert Wilson and Jakeem Grant have been sidelined for the season. Gase conceded play-calling options are more limited without Wilson and Grant.“There’s a little bit of change there,” Gase said. “We did a lot of different things with those two guys. Those two guys were able to be in the backfield, in the slot, outside. They just had a lot of variety. Now we have taller guys that are more long-striders. It’s not so much the initial quickness-type things that those two guys had.”Tannehill’s not one to complain about a lack of support, but he could point out the Dolphins went 2-3 without him Albert Wilson Jersey , which helped create the hole they’re in.Seven teams in the AFC have a better record, leaving the Dolphins and their quarterback with little margin for error in December.“Yeah, the margin is small,” Tannehill said. “We have to go out and we have to win. That’s what it is. There’s not a whole lot of sugarcoating it.”Otherwise, it will be thumbs down on 2018.
