Parker missed the team's first three preseason games due to injury, and has been the frequent subject of trade rumors the past few weeks. Still, while there's plenty of potential for the 26-year-old to be moved, this was not him signaling his days in the 305 are over.

Add in the Dolphins' interest in Jadeveon Clowney, and Dolphins fans curiosity became downright hysterical on Wednesday night, assuming that the Texans' need for a No. 2 wideout meant Parker was on the move.
Not so much...for now.
