Ryan Tannehill: Year away from football led to ‘dark times’

What happens to an NFL quarterback when you take the game away from him for a year?

Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill is ramping up activity again, but he admitted that his lost season was rather dark from his perspective after having season-ending knee surgery last August.

Tannehill didn’t really open up about what his year away entailed, but this is probably a normal phenomenon. This is such a huge part of NFL players’ lives, and to have it taken away for a year is tough mentally. The good news for Tannehill is he looks to be fully up to speed and ready to get back in action in 2018.
