Miami Dolphins wide receiver DeVante Parker underwent foot surgery on Friday, his agent told FOXSports.com

Parker, the No. 14 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, began feeling soreness in his foot -- the same one he had surgery on in college -- while running routes during Thursday's OTA session. Rather than take a conservative approach, Parker and the team felt that surgery was the best option for long-term health.

The Louisville product had a screw replaced during surgery. He should be able to return at some point during training camp, but the exact date is still up in the air. It's hopeful that he will play in the regular season opener.

Parker caught 33 touchdown passes during his four years at Louisville and had flashed serious potential during his short time with the Dolphins.
