WR DeVante Parker

(Obviously this is your guys’ first COVID situation since the regular season started. How much have things changed for you today and how concerned are you about traveling with a potential COVID outbreak?) – “With that going on, yeah (there were) a lot of changes to the schedule. We couldn’t really come inside the building today. We haven’t been in at all really. It’s something you’ve just got to adjust to, and it’s something we’ve done pretty well.”

(How does that change your mindset? You’re always focused on the football and the game. Does when you hear that, does your mind shift to COVID and everything else?) – “No, I’m still focused on the game. We’ve got to take it seriously. Everywhere we go, we have to wear our masks at all times, just to be safe; and it’s something we take seriously but I’m still focused on the game though.”

(How is the groin issue for you? I know you made a commitment to playing all 16 games this season. How difficult have you found that to be?) – “With this kind of sport, it’s kind of hard; but there’s a lot of ways to take care of your body and that’s what I’m still doing. It’s working, but I’m just keep doing what I’ve been doing and even more.”

(We haven’t had a chance to talk to you since the game last weekend. I wanted to ask you about catching QB Tua Tagovailoa’s first NFL touchdown pass as well as just your general thoughts on the progress that he’s making in leading your team.) – “I was happy for him when he made that first touchdown and it’s all about – with a new quarterback coming in, I’m happy for him and he’s going to continue to grow.”

(We’ve talked to a couple of the receivers this week and they talked about sort of the timing with QB Tua Tagovailoa and that some of you guys were staying after practice a little longer to get that down. Where do you guys feel as far as that comfort and how do you guys I guess speed that up while you’re in the middle of playing games?) – “Like you said, we’ve got the timing down after practice, so coming to game time, it’s going to be there. Then we’ve just got to execute. That’s the biggest thing.”
