The Miami Dolphins are reportedly activating wide receiver DeVante Parker and center Michael Deiter from injured reserve ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants.

Parker had been on injured reserve since Nov. 5 with a hamstring injury. Deiter, who started the first three games for Miami this season, has not played since Week 3.

Both players returning is a huge boost for the Dolphins, who are looking to extend their winning streak to five games in Week 13.

Parker, who has been injury-prone throughout his career, is looking to find his form from the 2019 season when he made 72 catches for 1,202 yards and nine touchdowns.

This season, Parker has made 25 catches for 327 yards and one score in five games.

The Dolphins and Tua Tagovailoa are inching closer in the AFC playoff picture heading into their matchup with the Giants. The Dolphins and Giants are scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m. EST on Sunday.
