The Miami Dolphins activated rookie receiver DeVante Parker from the active/physically unable to perform list Wednesday morning.





NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported that the move is more procedural than anything and the timetable for a recovery doesn't change.


Since the rookie underwent foot surgery in June, the timetable has always been to have the first-round pick back by Week 1, Rapoport reported at the time.


Parker's agent has trumpeted his client's progress throughout the offseason, saying last month "everything is perfect" with the wideout's recovery.


The 6-foot-3 pass-catcher stood out early in offseason workouts, prior to the surgery. He was reportedly seen "slowly" jogging for the first time on Monday.


Getting Parker back for Week 1 to help stretch the field and provide a dynamic playmaker would be a big boon for Ryan Tannehill.



The Dolphins also announced that safety Don Jones came off the PUP list.

Huge news. Really hope Parker can play in a preseason game.

I hope they don't hurry the guy. Would be a shame to have a setback.

It's jsut a process thing really, they'll still work him back at the necessary speed.

But what it does say is there's no big setback or bad reaction that the team has been keeping under wraps - he's clearly working back to full fitness. That's the good news.

Hopefully he can practice by September 1st that would give him enough time to be prepared for week 1

Good deal. Got my bolt cutters crossed. No more loose screws.

Parker was lookin elite. Need his assorted fasteners to stay tight so he can light it UP!

I'm still pulling for him to see action in preseason game 3. I don't see them putting him out there without tannehill in preseason game 4.
