Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker distanced himself Monday from inflammatory comments made by his agent regarding coach Adam Gase a day earlier.
After Parker was inactive for the Dolphins on Sunday in a game they wound up losing 32-21 to the Detroit Lions, agent Jimmy Gould slammed Gase.
“Coach Gase is incompetent period and not telling the truth when it comes to DeVante, who is totally healthy and was needed big time today,” Gould said in a statement. “This is the third game he has done this to DeVante this year. It’s sickening and a grossly unfair characterisation of my client.”
Parker responded Monday by saying, “I can’t control what people are saying. (Gould is) a grown man. He says what he said. I can’t control what he says. I didn’t feel that way about Coach. That’s his own opinion.”
Parker met personally with Gase on Monday. 
“My relationship is good with him,” Parker said. “We talked about it. No bad feelings for one another.”
Gase added of the relationship with Parker, “It’s fine. I saw him this morning and we talked a little bit.”
The situation may have ironed itself out due to injuries to two other Miami wide receivers, Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills, who both likely will be unavailable Thursday when the Dolphins visit the Houston Texans.
“We don’t have any more receivers, so I’m pretty sure he’s going to play,” Gase said Monday of Parker. Asked if he expects Parker to play well, Gase replied, “Yeah, I’ve seen him do it before.”
Wilson will be out some time and perhaps for the season due to a right hip injury, his agent said Monday.
“The best-case scenario is that he would miss a few weeks,” Drew Rosenhaus told WSVN Fox7 in Miami, adding that the injury could keep Wilson out for the whole season.
NFL Network reported Wilson has a significant labrum issue and will see a hip specialist before a timeline for his recovery is determined. The network also reported Stills was due to have an MRI exam Monday after straining his groin late in Sunday’s game, which probably will keep him out for at least Thursday’s contest.
Parker missed two games with a quadriceps injury earlier this season, and Gase maintained Parker wasn’t 100 percent healthy Sunday.
Parker, 25, reportedly is a possible trade candidate before the Oct. 30 deadline. The 2015 first-round pick has just two catches for 40 yards this season after posting 139 grabs for 1,908 yards and eight touchdowns over his first three seasons.
Wilson, 26, has 26 catches for a team-high 391 yards and four scores (tied with Stills for the team lead) this season. He joined Miami on a three-year, $24 million contract in March.
Stills, 26, has 16 grabs for 281 yards and four touchdowns in his fourth season with the Dolphins.
The short-handed receiving corps will be on the end of passes from backup quarterback Brock Osweiler on Thursday, as Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) will miss his third consecutive contest.
