Fla. (AP) ¡ª DeVante Parker was 15 yards beyond intended receiver Jakeem Grant
when things got weird.A defender¡¯s hit redirected the pass, which was dislodged
from Grant¡¯s arms as he gathered it in. The ball sailed directly to Parker, who
alertly made the catch for a bizarre 46-yard gain .¡°It shocked me,¡± Parker said.
¡°I was just in the right spot at the right time.¡±That¡¯s a refreshing change for
the Miami Dolphins receiver, and perhaps a sign of changing fortunes. Parker has
been an unlucky underachiever since he was drafted with the 14th overall pick in
2015.This season the injury-prone Parker has missed five games because of finger
and quadriceps issues, and he hopes to play two weeks in a row for the first
time Sunday against the New York Jets .He¡¯s coming off one of his best games
yet. Parker was a rare bright spot in Miami¡¯s 42-23 loss at Houston last week,
catching six passes for a career-high 134 yards ¡ª including the reception that
ranked among the NFL¡¯s goofiest grabs this year.¡°It felt good to be out there
contributing,¡± he said.The Dolphins hope Parker can continue to give their
injury-plagued offense a lift. They¡¯ll be without quarterback Ryan Tannehill
(throwing shoulder) for the fourth game in a row Sunday, and at
Houston
Qadree
Ollison Jersey , the 6-foot-3, 215-pound Parker made backup QB Brock
Osweiler look good.¡°DeVante is an extremely talented receiver,¡± Osweiler said.
¡°He¡¯s a big target, he¡¯s physical, he plays hard. He did some great things for
us against Houston, and I expect him to do some great things for us against New
York. In fact, I expect him to play even better. I think DeVante is just getting
rolling.¡±Parker¡¯s statistics against the Texans could have been even more
impressive, but Osweiler overthrew him in the open on a deep route. They worked
on the pattern half a dozen times in practice Wednesday, and Osweiler found his
target.¡°It was much
better
Rashan
Gary Jersey ,¡± Osweiler said with a chuckle. ¡°Hopefully we got that one
cleaned up.¡±The Jets will be braced for Parker. He had eight receptions and a
touchdown against them last year.¡°He¡¯s a deep-ball threat, obviously, and he can
go up and get the ball, and he can catch it over the middle,¡± Jets coach Todd
Bowles said. ¡°He¡¯s a big receiver and he can run, so we¡¯re going to have to
cover him.¡±Although Parker¡¯s an inviting target, he has yet to have a 750-yard
receiving season, and has made only one touchdown catch in the past two
years.Now the opportunity is there for him to do more. Receiver Kenny Stills
(groin) didn¡¯t practice Wednesday and might miss his second game in a row. And
receiver Albert Wilson (hip) is out for the season.Because of those injuries,
the Dolphins decided against parting with Parker at this week¡¯s trade
deadline
Hakeem
Butler Jersey , despite rumors he was on the market. Complicating the
situation was an outburst by Parker¡¯s agent, Jimmy Gould, who questioned Gase¡¯s
competence and complained about his client not playing.Gase said there was never
a problem between him and Parker, and put the issue in the past.¡°We move on
quick, man,¡± Gase said. ¡°If DeVante had something to say to me, he¡¯d say it.
He¡¯s not afraid to tell me stuff.¡±Gase, in his third season at Miami, said
Parker has been unlucky with injuries.¡°In my time he has tried to do everything
possible to make sure he is ready to
go
Chris
Lindstrom Jersey ,¡± Gase said. ¡°And he has done a good job of staying
engaged when he wasn¡¯t playing.¡±Despite long stretches of idleness, Parker had a
good grasp of his assignments against Houston, Gase said. And it showed.¡°He was
playing fast,¡± Gase said. ¡°Hopefully we just keep getting better every week and
keep expanding his role.¡± ATLANTA (AP) ¡ª The Latest on Super Bowl 53 (all times
EST):7:20 p.m.The Los Angeles Rams opted to practice outside on the grass fields
at the Falcons¡¯ training facility in Flowery Branch, Georgia. The weather
cooperated and coach Sean McVay was happy with the decision.¡°It really was (the
plan to go outside),¡± McVay said. ¡°We were flexible with it, but I think just
having the ability to go outside and get on this surface, we felt like it was
going to be a little bit better on our bodies, and the weather allowed us to do
that

so it was a great day.¡±The NFC champions started with a walk-through before
stretching and then held a 1-hour, 10-minute practice. The sun set and the
temperature dropped to 47 degrees by the time the Rams finished at 6:06
p.m.¡°Yeah, it went down quick,¡± McVay said. ¡°That was why we were trying to stay
on a tight schedule. We got a lot of good work in, a lot of things we can coach
off of. The main thing was I thought the guys came out and competed the right
way and gave us a chance to get better today.¡±McVay called it a spirited
practice.Kicker Greg Zuerlein (left foot) and safety Blake Countess (foot) both
were limited. Zuerlein did not kick, but will on Friday.¡°The plan all along has
been for him (to kick) tomorrow,¡± McVay said. ¡°We¡¯re right on track. He¡¯ll kick
(Friday).Countess was upgraded after being listed as out of the team¡¯s
walk-through on Wednesday. He appears on schedule to play Sunday.
