Ryan Tannehill injury: QB throws passes on sideline, but still unable to practice

The Miami Dolphins head into the consistent season finale against the New England Patriots with wounds the whole way across the program, with starters like Mike Pouncey, Koa Misi, Reshad Jones, and Isa Abdul-Quddus on harmed save and Ryan Tannehill, Byron Maxwell, and Jelani Jenkins prone to miss the diversion. The Dolphins are being savvy about their harmed players, taking it gradually and attempting to ensure they are completely recouped before returning them on the field, particularly with Tannehill. The Dolphins are more worried about having their beginning quarterback accessible for the 2017 season than they are about getting him back onto the field this week or this year.

That does not mean Tannehill is not doing anything. "He's benefiting a vocation to the extent utilizing his data that his involvement in the offense, when you're a quarterback, you're generally on the ball on most things," head mentor Adam Gase said Thursday of Tannehill adding to the group regardless of the sprained ACL and MCL in his left knee. "He has a considerable measure of chance to observe most likely more film than what he typically has. He's benefiting an occupation of training those folks on the field whenever someone commits an error. He can help them and simply having fundamentally another mentor on the field."

Miami's 2012 first-round pick was likewise on the sidelines amid practice Thursday, tossing passes however he didn't partake in any of the real practice. "He tosses it a tad bit," Gase clarified of the visitor appearance from Tannehill. "He's not moving, so he's simply out there keeping his arm free."

Tannehill was harmed against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14 when he was hit by guarded end Calais Campbell soon after he planted his front leg and tossed a pass. The hit was shoulder brace to left knee, bowing the knee in reverse. At the time, the Dolphins dreaded Tannehill had a totally torn ACL and would require surgery. A MRI the following day, and also a moment round of testing later in the week, affirmed the ACL and MCL sprains (which by definition are halfway tears), and kept Tannehill from requiring quick surgery. The quarterback could in any case need to get the knee repaired, however for not, recovery work and time are relied upon to permit him to completely recuperate.

Matt Moore has filled in for Tannehill since the harm, and the Dolphins are 2-0 in the course of the most recent two weeks. Tannehill has been on the sideline in each of the amusements. He was wearing a full leg cast and on supports in Week 15 as the group beat the New York Jets. A week ago against the Buffalo Bills, Tannehill was strolling without supports and did not have the thrown any more. On Thursday at practice, he was wearing a prop on the knee.

"When I feel good with what the specialists are letting me know that we're not going to have any sort of damage that could keep him from harming his profession or harming his odds to play one year from now," Gase said of Tannehill having the capacity to come back to practice and diversion activity. "So will be, exceptionally keen."

There is no official a timetable for Tannehill's arrival, however the group is trusting he will have the capacity to play in the postseason, which begins on January 7 and 8, contingent upon the booking. This denote the first run through the Dolphins have made the playoffs since 2008.
