Report: Dolphins’ Tannehill likely won’t need major surgery

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill likely will not need a full knee reconstruction, NFL.com reported Monday.

That means he should be able to begin next season on time and be available for training camp as well.

But Tannehill likely will need to wear a brace on his left knee while playing.

NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport, quoting sources, said Tannehill’s rehab is “is going so well that those involved believe he will not need a full reconstruction prior to the 2017 season.”

The Dolphins declined to comment on the report earlier Monday morning.

Tannehill is scheduled to have another MRI today, according to the report.
