Wide Receiver DeVante Parker

(How has your week of practice gone?) – “It’s going pretty well. I’m just happy to be back out there moving around again.”

(What happened with the quad in practice?) – “I just ran a route and it just hurt.”

(You had high hopes obviously for this season. Do you still feel like your goals can be met?) – “I’m just taking it one day at a time, just working my way back into it.”

(Do you ever feel snake bitten or wonder ‘why me?’ sometimes?) – “No, not really.”

(What do you feel like you can add to this offense?) – “I feel like I can add just high-pointing the ball and doing whatever the coaches want me to do.”

(What have you seen from the way the receivers have been used this season? To me, from afar, it seems like it’s a little bit more creative as far as the end-arounds and things like that. What have you seen?) – “I’ve seen (Head) Coach (Adam Gase) putting receivers in the backfield, getting them out there and just getting them moving around.”

(How does that help the offense? In what ways does that play to the receivers’ strengths?) – “They’re real elusive in the open field, so it helps out the offense a lot.”

(What’s been the hardest part of this season for you?) – “Not being active, obviously.”

(When things aren’t going right and you’re frustrated or mad at the world, who are some people or a person in particular that has kind of helped you?) – “Some of my family. They’re always texting me to check up on me and see how I’m feeling.”

(What do they say?) – “A lot of things.”

(More good than bad, I’m sure?) – “Yes.”

(How hopeful are you about this week and Sunday?) – “I’m not really sure. I’m just going in there a day at a time and just working my way back in.”

(Before you came back from the finger injury, you said an extra week gave you some time. Do you think an extra week would give you some time if you came back next week instead of on Sunday?) – “I’m just (taking it) one day at a time.”
