Parker has been a security blanket at receiver when healthy and his absence Sunday will be noticeable.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) is questionable for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills. He has missed the last two games for Miami.

Another week, another Q tag for Parker. He will be needed against one of the best offense-defense combos in football.

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker (shoulder/hamstring) will not play Week 6 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Look for Wilson and Williams to see increased work with Parker out and Will Fuller on IR.

Dolphins WR Will Fuller broke a finger in Sunday’s loss and is expected to be week-to-week, sources say. More bad news after a rough day.

Fuller's status is in doubt for Week 5 and possibly longer. The loss of Fuller should be good news for Waddle who sits behind Parker in the pecking order. Next up are Wilson and Williams who could battle for WR3 snaps. The Dolphins have struggled to push the ball down field with Jacoby Brissett at QB.

Dolphins head coach Brian Flores told reporters Friday that WR Will Fuller will miss Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills due to personal reasons.

Fuller missed Thursday's practice due to a personal issue as well. The hope is that all is well for him away from football. Albert Wilson (BERT ALERT) stands to see increased snaps as the field-stretching receiver for Miami.

Dolphins coach Brian Flores said on Tuesday that veteran wide receiver Allen Hurns will eventually be placed on injured reserve after a Monday report that he will likely miss three months with wrist surgery. This comes as Miami has had Will Fuller out since the first practice of training camp, been without DeVante Parker for more practices than he’s participated in, had Albert Wilson miss the past week-plus and Preston Williams on the physically-unable-to-perform list since the start of camp.

“We’ll see about [Wednesday]. They’re day to day. They’re all working to get back,” Flores said. “Those become pretty competitive practices, very competitive practices. With guys who have been out, you kind of want to ease them back, so if they are back, I wouldn’t expect too much out of them. But getting closer, I would say.”

The story went on to say Parker, Fuller, Wilson and Williams continued to sit out Tuesday, which was a lighter walkthrough session before the Dolphins welcome the Atlanta Falcons for joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday. With the slew of top wideouts missing, the Dolphins started Waddle with Hollins in Week 1 of the preseason. Bowden ended up leading wide receivers later in the game with four receptions for 47 yards.

According to The Athletic, Miami Dolphins running back/wide receiver Malcolm Perry has been taking snaps at slot receiver, adding that: “We listed Perry as a running back, although he’s expected to play some at slot receiver. Depending on how he adapts, Perry could fill a huge void left by Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns — who both opted out of the 2020 season.”

Malcolm Perry has been generating quiet buzz for his work in the slot throughout camp, and as The Athletic indicated if he can emerge in that role, he could potentially fill a huge hole left by Albert Wilson and Allen Hurns opting out of the season. Perry was a wildcat quarterback of sorts at Navy, but always projected to have a longer career at wide receiver than at running back. He was always expected to get some looks in the slot, but Wilson opting out opens up the possibility that he emerges as the clear cut top slot option for the Dolphins. He has an exciting skill set, and is explosive once he has the ball in his hands. He should make for an interesting fit between Miami's two towering receivers in Preston Williams and Davante Parker.

Dolphins WR Albert Wilson announced that he is opting out of the 2020 season.

Wilson joins teammate Allen Hurns in opting out. Wilson has largely disappointed in Miami during his two seasons there, but he was poised to benefit from Hurns' absence and the Dolphins' receiver depth chart is now reduced to Jakeem Grant, Isaiah Ford, Mack Hollins and Gary Jennings behind starters DeVante Parker and Preston Williams. Wilson's opt out could mean a small uptick in targets for Parker and Wilson and further involvement in the passing game for RB Matt Breida.
