Parker, who has wowed fans and teammates during his work in minicamps, broke his left foot in 2014, causing him to miss half of his final season season at the University of Louisville.

At the time, Louisville head coach Bobby Petrino said Parker broke the fifth metatarsal.

Parker played in 42 career games while with the Cardinals and recorded 33 touchdowns. The touchdowns tied a school record and earned him second-team All-ACC honors as a senior, although he only played in six games.

Parker is not expected to play in the Dolphins minicamp.
