One source believes QB is done for the season
The Miami Dolphins now fear quarterback Ryan Tannehill is going to need season-ending knee surgery, however no decision to have it has been made at this time, according to sources close to the situation. The Dolphins are growing increasingly concerned that surgery will be the most viable and likely option as they and their starting quarterback sift through them.
“He’s done, I think,” one source predicted Thursday night, referring to Tannehill’s hopes of returning this season. (ESPN)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Tannehill still could decide to rest his knee for six to eight weeks and try to come back from his knee injury again, but that seems to be an unlikely outcome at the moment. Matt Moore is the next man up and compiled an 8:3 touchdown-to-interception ratio in the three games he started at the end of last season. He’s a downgrade from Tannehill but not so much that receivers like Jarvis Landry and DeVante Parker need to be downgraded all that much. Moore should be considered a low-end QB2.
