Pair of Dolphins receivers clear concussion protocol

The Miami Dolphins were set to enter Week 15 without another duo of pass catchers, which would have put this team down to the absolute bare bones against the New York Giants. With both Albert Wilson and DeVante Parker suffering concussions this past week against the New York Jets, the receivers’ availability was left in question — hardly the place the Dolphins wanted to be with Preston Williams and Jakeem Grant already out for the remainder of the season.

But Miami got some good news on Saturday, as it was announced by ESPN’s Cameron Wolfe that both Parker and Wilson have cleared the NFL’s concussion protocol and will have the opportunity to suit up for Miami in Week 15 against the Giants.

With New York recently cutting CB Janoris Jenkins for a public spat with a fan and starting safety Jabrill Peppers placed on IR at the start of December, both Wilson and Parker appear to have a looming opportunity to make some big plays in Week 15. The contest between the two teams looms large as an NFL Draft hurdle — not that anyone in the Miami Dolphins locker room really cares. Instead, this team is looking to build as much momentum heading into 2020 as possible. That would include a win today against the Giants — and having Parker and Wilson readily available helps the cause.

The Dolphins kick off their Week 15 contest against the Giants at 1PM EST at MetLife Stadium.
