Life in the NFL comes to you quickly.
Just ask DeVante Parker, who in less than 24 hours has gone from a seemingly healthy scratch to a likely newbie.
Injuries crushed the Dolphins' offense as Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills could not finish the game.
The Dolphins spent Monday trying to determine the severity of Wilson's hip injury, but he has virtually no chance of playing Thursday in Houston.
His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said on WSVN-7 Sunday night that Wilson would miss "considerable time" in at least two weeks. The NFL announced Monday afternoon that Wilson would visit a hip specialist to determine a recovery plan and schedule a return, but he could miss the rest of the season.
Wilson on Monday released a photo of what appeared to be the moment when he was injured at the hip – when tackling Teez Tabor – with the caption "Back soon".
And things are not going well for Stills too.
He injured his groin late in Sunday's Lions defeat. We doubt his availability this week. Stills undergoes new tests to determine how bad he is, but the fact that he left the field for not coming back Sunday and that he did not come back on Sunday was a terrible sign.
That would leave the dolphins with only three receivers:
Danny Amendola, Jakeem Grant and Parker.
Thus, the odds that dolphins leave Parker over the next two days – even after his agent's face shot at Adam Gase on Sunday – have probably gone from thin to nil.
Gase has not spoken to reporters since Agent James Gould said "something smelled in Miami" after Gase suggested that Parker's quadriceps injury was a reason he was not playing.
"I answer that he's not telling the truth and that his decision was an example of mismanagement and was costing the team the best opportunity to win," Gould said in a statement. "He continues to attack my client's health and this is not acceptable. Parker is not only healthy but wants to help this team win. The only real question to ask is how coach Gase justifies his own incompetence. They averaged only 6.1 yards per jack [Sunday]. They needed Parker, who is in perfect health and who participated fully all week and warm-ups. [Sunday] Morning."
