The Dolphins will promote rookie wide receiver Rashawn Scott from their practice squad, the Miami Herald reported.

The move is related to the status of wide receiver DeVante Parker, who missed practice Wednesday with a back injury. Parker left last Sunday’s win over the 49ers after landing awkwardly, and his status for Sunday’s game at Baltimore is unknown.

Parker has 14 receptions for 246 yards and a touchdown over the last three games. The Dolphins have won six straight and will need to throw the ball Sunday against the Ravens, who have the league’s best run defense and second-best overall defense.

Scott is an undrafted rookie who spent the offseason with the Dolphins and has spent the regular season on the practice squad.
