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.

Dolphins WRs DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson have both cleared concussion protocol and were removed from the injury report.

Ryan Fitzpatrick gets his array of weapons against the Giants secondary that is now much weaker on paper after waiving Janoris Jenkins. It’s definitely been a good week for Parker. He gets a contract extension and is now cleared from his concussion.

Dolphins receivers DeVante Parker and Albert Wilson were both evaluated for concussions during the second quarter and did not return, further hampering a depleted roster during the final stretch of the season.

Hurns would see an increase in workload if Parker and Wilson can't go in Week 15. Hollins, Ford and Davis are also up next and it would mean bad news for QB Ryan Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins offense only scored seven field goals Sunday against the Jets.
