Ryan Tannehill has missed the last several games with a shoulder injury, and he is finally ready to return when the Miami Dolphins take on the Indianapolis Colts this weekend.
Dolphins head coach Adam Gase announced Tuesday that Tannehill will resume starting on Sunday.

Tannehill has ramped up his throwing over the past week and finally been able to practice without pain. Gase had previously described his recovery as “inconsistent,” but Tannehill has apparently gotten to the point where he is confident he can play without experiencing a setback.
Brock Osweiler has started the last five games for Miami, and the team has gone 2-3 in that span. The results haven’t been terrible, but he failed to throw a touchdown pass over the past three games. The 5-5 Dolphins are hoping Tannehill can help lead a playoff surge down the stretch.
