WR DeVante Parker

(Have you been given any indication if you’re playing Sunday?) – “No. I’m feeling good these past couple days and (we’re)just going to see what happens on Sunday.”

(Did Head Coach Adam Gase ever give you much of an explanation as to why you didn’t play last week?) – “He just told me it wouldn’t hurt to have another extra couple days off, just to make sure the hand gets enough rest for it, and I was okay with that.”

(Does the hand feel that much better after a few more days?) – “It does, actually.”

(Do you notice it?) – “Yes. (It’s a) big difference.”

(What’s your level of, I guess, antsy-ness to get out there and help the team win?) – “It’s very high. Missing, what, two games? Missing the first two games, I’m just ready to get back out there whenever that chance is.”

(Do you have everything back from skill standpoint with the finger healed? Can you pretty much do everything at this point?) – “Yes, I can catch – catch the same – and blocking. Everything is still there.”

(Head Coach Adam Gase said that he likes where you are right now from a mental standpoint in terms of your approach to practice. Can you describe the approach you’ve tried to take, especially in the last few weeks?) – “I’ve tried to just come out there (and) have energy, get going out there and moving around. It’s a lot better than being out and missing. So, when I come back, I just bring energy. I’m just ready to be out there and get going.”

(Any lesson you may have learned or anything along the way you might’ve learned about yourself the last couple weeks?) – “No. I’m the same me. That’s it.”

(How good can this receiving group be? Injecting your ability with a group that’s already good – all of five of you, plus WR Tanner McEvoy – what’s your assessment of how good that group can be?) – “I feel like we can be very good. Everyone has their different traits that they bring to the table and coach is going to find some way to utilize that and find ways to pick defenses apart.”

(How much fun do you think it’ll be to actually be on the field with QB Ryan Tannehill again in a game that really counts?) – “I think it’s going to be exciting. Just being out there with him. We still have the same connection (as) when I was playing before and I’m just looking forward to it again.”
