The Dolphins will be monitoring multiple injuries on the offensive side of the ball this week, including the one wide receiver DeVante Parker picked up in last Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs. Parker was limited to 27 snaps due to a hamstring injury. Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Parker has a “slight” hamstring strain and that his status for this Sunday against the Patriots is up in the air as a result. Wide receiver Jakeem Grant is also dealing with a hamstring injury, tight end Mike Gesicki hurt his shoulder, and running back Myles Gaskin is on the reserve/COVID-19 list. They are the team’s four leading receivers and Preston Williams, who is on injured reserve, is tied for fifth. Between them, the have accounted for 181 of the team’s 288 receptions on the year. Wideout Isaiah Ford last played in Week 8 and is tied with Williams with 18 catches. He was traded to the Patriots, cut by New England, and re-signed to Miami’s practice squad since his last appearance.
What is a "slight hamstring strain"? Where I come from (Davie, Florida), we call that a boo-boo as we tell someone to suck it up and get back on the field.
What's Chris Chambers doing these days? I wonder if he's keeping in shape? Greg Camarillo? Bess? Lynn Bowden is about to catch 15 passes on Sunday.
The fact that Gesicki hasn't been declared out for the season yet seems like a win. I guess we'll see what the details are.
It's excuse after excuse for a guy who's career is basically a six game stretch last year where he played decent football.
Playing professional football in the South Florida heat is alot more physically demanding than typing on a keyboard. It's getting toward the end of a season, injuries add up. I'm sure Parker is as disappointed as we are that we likely won't be making it to the play-offs.
