Dolphins

After missing time with a broken finger, Dolphins WR DeVante Parker is now dealing with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder.

“I’m fighting through adversity and trying to overcome it,” Parker said, via the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. ” … It’s about pain tolerance. Sometimes I might run a certain route that hurts it, but the pain goes away. It’s not there consistently, and it’s about how much you can take.”

• Patriots WR Josh Gordon explained that New England has made it easy for him to focus on coming in just doing his job: “I’m just led by the guys here that lead me. I watch how they do it. This is a bunch of professional guys who are leaders of men, and I’m just going to follow suit. They’re making it real easy for me to come in and do my job.” (NESN)
