DAVIE — Two of the Miami Dolphins’ starting receivers suffered injuries during Monday’s practice.

Kenny Stills, the Dolphins’ starting flanker, suffered an undisclose­d injury in a collision during1-on-1drills. Stills laid on the turf inside the practice bubble for a couple minutes while a trainer examined his back. He eventually got up on his own.

DeVante Parker, the Dolphins’ starting split end, might have re-aggravated his hamstring injury during the same 1-on-1 drill. Parker caught a deep touchdown pass over Lafayette Pitts and came up limping. He thenhada collusionw­ithBobbyMc­Cain a couple snaps later and never returned to practice.

“I’m going to pull them out as soon aswe see something going on,” said coach Adam Gase, who plans to sit most of his starters in Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Tennessee Titans.

The Dolphins have limited Parker’s practice participat­ion for the past three weeks because of a hamstring injury he’s been nursing.

“For me it’s about getting him out there and seeing how much we can get him to grow with his route running,” Gase said of Parker.

This is the first injury Stills has suffered this training camp, which has been his best since joining the Dolphins in 2015.

The former Oklahoma standout who the Dolphins traded a 2015 third-round pick to acquire has caught eight passes for124yard­s and two touchdowns in the three preseason
