What It Means:

Parker was held out of the team's Week 16 come-from-behind win over the Las Vegas Raiders, and a bad hamstring was the culprit. That hamstring still appears to be bothering him, but practicing to start the week - albeit on a limited basis - is an encouraging sign as to his chances of playing in the regular season finale against Buffalo. The Dolphins could need a victory to clinch a playoff spot, so all hands will be on deck to get the win over the Bills. Expect Parker to play barring a setback.

Buffalo currently ranks 15th in the NFL in adjusted net expected points allowed per pass play.
