DeVante Parker’s agent, James Gould, said this past week that it’s too soon to tell whether the Dolphins rookie receiver will play in preseason but added that it’s not a concern. He said “everything is perfect” in Parker’s recovery from foot surgery and he remains on track to play in the regular-season opener.

Last month’s procedure, which was done after Parker started feeling discomfort, replaced a screw that was inserted in his foot during 2014 surgery. Though Parker has had two foot procedures in the past year, Gould said doctors don’t believe this will be a recurring problem.

“I don’t think it will happen again,” Gould said. “They got it right.”

Meanwhile, the Dolphins remain pleased with left tackle Branden Albert’s progress from major knee surgery. Friends say Albert remains determined to play in the regular season opener and the Dolphins say publicly they expect that. But because of the nature of the injury, nobody can say that with certainty.

Albert was walking with a limp in June, which prompted some concern on Twitter. But Albert correctly has pointed out that “I always had a limp when I walked” even before the knee injury.

Agents...what's he supposed to say, "they thought they had it right the first time...who knows?" I hope he's right.

And for BA, we keep hearing he'll be ready for season opener, so I'm gonna go ahead and expect that...but wouldn't worry if he missed the first few games...definitely going to need him for the divisional games.

My prediction is Parker and Albert will get work in the dolphin 3rd preseason game..

LEFT TACKLE IS A MUST, wr is a plus... hope they're both available for preseason!

Interesting that Parker has the most endorsement deals among all rookies. There's reasons they're betting on his success...hopefully it comes to fruition.

I'll second that notion.

Yes, it is a necessity. We need that line to start strong and stay strong throughout the season.

This is oddly better news than his agent swearing on a bible...

Now is it Nike or KSwiss? Would love it if he signed with adidas...

Incidentally, Gould said Parker’s 10 endorsement deals --- Adidas, Proctor & Gamble among others

Adidas it is! Thankfully not Nike as I've grown up with Adidas and Puma because of my soccer background.
