The reason the next week is a milestone for Ryan Tannehill

Miami Dolphins doctors, coaches and Ryan Tannehill will meet this week to decide how much work the quarterback will do during the onfield "organized team activity" sessions that begin next Tuesday and run into mid-June.

According to Dolphins sources the expectation is Tannehill — who missed the final month of 2016 with a partially torn ACL and all of last season when he further tore the same ligament — will be able to participate in the OTAs with little or no limitations.

That would be the medical decision. But coaches might still opt to limit the quarterback in some form not only to work Tannehill in methodically but also to give backup quarterbacks Brock Osweiler and David Fales ample work — including perhaps some snaps with the first-team offense.
