DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins center Mike Pouncey says an MRI on his sore left knee was negative, clearing him to practice this week.

Pouncey took part in Monday's workout. He left the Dolphins' exhibition game Saturday against Atlanta when another player hit the side of his knee.

First-round draft pick DeVante Parker took part in practice for the first time since undergoing surgery on his left foot in June. It's uncertain whether he'll be available for the season opener Sept. 13 at Washington.

The only player to miss practice was cornerback Jamar Taylor, who remained sidelined with a thigh injury. Backup offensive lineman Jason Fox, who missed last week's game because of a concussion, returned to practice.

Miami plays its final exhibition game Thursday at home against Tampa Bay.
