Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores recently offered some insight into whether Raekwon Davis and DeVante Parker will be available for the team’s Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
It sounds like Davis is on track to play as long as “things go well” on Friday.

Davis hasn’t played since Week 1 after he suffered a knee injury against the New England Patriots. The Dolphins haven’t won a game since he hit injured reserve.
As for Parker, it sounds like there’s some uncertainty about his status for Sunday’s game. According to Flores, he might end up being a game-time decision.

The Dolphins could certainly use a healthy Parker this weekend. The team wants to get him more involved on offense, but that obviously can’t happen if he’s unavailable.
Parker has 17 catches for 242 yards and one touchdown so far this season.
The Dolphins are in for a tough matchup on Sunday. The defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers are 3-1 on the season.
