Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker went through a pregame workout Sunday morning and convinced the team’s decision makers he’s healthy enough to play Sunday vs. the Ravens.

Parker suffered a back injury last week. Parker didn’t practice Wednesday or Thursday, and the team promoted rookie wide receiver Rashawn Scott from the practice squad in anticipation of Parker missing the game.

Scott is inactive Sunday.

Parker has 14 receptions for 246 yards and a touchdown over the last three games.
