Brock Osweiler hopes to remain Dolphins’ starter after Tannehill’s return

Brock Osweiler

Brock Osweiler is going to do all he can to remain the Miami Dolphins’ starting quarterback even after Ryan Tannehill returns from injury.

Osweiler will make his fourth consecutive start this weekend in place of Tannehill, who injured his shoulder earlier in the month. Miami is 1-2 in the games Osweiler has started. The record hasn’t had an effect on the confidence of Osweiler, who does not want to surrender the starting gig.

“I think your mentality in this league is when you get your opportunity to play, you never give that guy his job back,” Osweiler told the Miami Sun-Sentinel.

“And that’s nothing personal against anybody. But if you don’t have that competitive spirit, this isn’t the league for you.”

Tannehill’s progress has been slow to this point. If that continues, Osweiler will have more opportunities to make his case.

In four games this season, Osweiler has completed 64 percent of his passes for 895 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions.
