Dolphins expect DeVante Parker will play Week 1

Rookie wide receiver DeVante Parker, recovering from foot surgery, is not going to be ready for practice at the start of training camp. He is a candidate for the physically unable to perform list.

"Whenever the medical staff tells us he's ready to go we'll get him out there," HC Joe Philbin said. "... Hopefully, we'll get him back sooner as opposed to later."

Despite the fact Parker won't be 100 percent in time for Thursday's first training camp practice, the coach has little doubt he'll be ready for the regular season.

"It's hard to predict if Week One he'll be ready for 30 snaps or 60 snaps," Philbin said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Parker reportedly looked good before injuring his foot. He doesn't have a clear path to snaps with Kenny Stills and Greg Jennings on the roster, so he may have to earn his playing time as the season wears on.
