MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. -- DeVante Parker's agent called Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase "incompetent" after his client was a surprise inactive for Sunday's 32-21 loss to the Detroit Lions.

"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," agent Jimmy Gould said. "This is the third game he has done this to DeVante this year. It's sickening and a grossly unfair characterization of my client."

A quad injury caused Parker to miss the Week 4 and Week 5 games, but he was listed as a full participant in practice every day this week.

Gase confirmed after the game that the decision to leave out the receiver was based more on his decision than on Parker's health, despite his saying Parker was not 100 percent healthy.

"That's what we decided to do this game, and we had those four guys that had been kind of rolling together, and we wanted to get [Kalen] Ballage up, and he's doing a lot on special teams," Gase said.
