Louisville coach Bobby Petrino said Monday that star receiver DeVante Parker could be back for Saturday’s game against Clemson.

BP on DeVante Parker for Clemson: There is a good chance. He's been running routes for over a week. Off day today & he'll practice tomorrow.

BP on DeVante Parker: I think he's going to be good to go based on the info from the medical staff. He ran routes in practice last night.

Parker suffered a fractured bone in his left foot — an injury that required surgery — during practice in August and has yet to play a game this season.

Parker, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound senior, led the Cardinals in receiving yards and touchdowns last year. In absence the Cardinals are 5-1.

Petrino said he wasn’t sure who would potentially be throwing to Parker on Saturday. Both Reggie Bonnafon and Will Gardner will practice this week. Gardner was the team’s starter before being missing the past two games with injury. Bonnafon has filled in admirably and is 2-0 as a starter.
