DAVIE (CBSMiami/AP) — The Miami Dolphins are still very much alive in the AFC Playoff race which makes the return of their starting quarterback that much more vital.
Ryan Tannehill is throwing the ball 50 yards in side sessions, and the Dolphins would love to see those passes in a game.
Maybe this week.
Tannehill made progress during the team’s bye week in his rehabilitation from a throwing shoulder injury, and remains on schedule to meet his goal of returning Sunday at Indianapolis.
There are significant hurdles yet to be cleared.
Coach Adam Gase said Monday he didn’t even know whether Tannehill will participate fully in practice this week, but sounded upbeat about his quarterback’s recent progress.
