Report: DeVante Parker dealing with broken finger

The Miami Dolphins are hoping DeVante Parker will break out in his fourth NFL season now that Jarvis Landry is no longer with the team, but the wide receiver will need to take some time off to heal before he is ready to practice and play again.

On Tuesday, Dolphins head coach Adam Gase said Parker is considered week-to-week with an injury. Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reports that Parker has a broken middle finger, and the team hopes he is ready to return by Week 1.

Parker, a first-round pick in 2015, should have plenty of opportunities to make plays this season. However, he has reportedly been struggling in training camp and has been called out in the past for not playing through injuries. The Dolphins can only hope the finger injury doesn’t end up being a major setback.
