Pirate Galaxy » Ryan Tannehill is throwing the ball 50 yards in

DAVIE Youth Andrew Van Ginkel Jersey , Fla. (AP) —side sessions, and the Miami Dolphins would love to see those passes in a game.Maybe this week.Tannehill made progress during the team’s bye week in his rehabilitation from a throwing shoulder injury, and remains on schedule to meet his goal of returning Sunday at Indianapolis.There are significant hurdles yet to be cleared. Coach Adam Gase said Monday he didn’t even know whether Tannehill will participate fully in practice this week, but sounded upbeat about his quarterback’s recent progress.“I feel like it is forever since I’ve seen him throw,” Gase said. “To me he looks like what he once looked like.”Brock Osweiler has gone 2-3 starting for Tannehill. The injury-plagued Dolphins are 5-5 and tied for sixth place in the AFC with the Colts and three other teams.The Dolphins’ eagerness to get Tannehill back in the lineup is magnified because their offense has gone nine quarters without a touchdown. Osweiler’s most recent scoring pass came four games ago.Tannehill has said he’s resigned to throwing with pain the rest of the year because of an injury to his shoulder capsule in Week 5. He’s now targeting receivers on the move, but his shoulder stamina remains a concern and needs to be tested by the intensity of practice, Gase said.“He can throw it down the field now,” Gase said. “It looks good. It’s just all about how many times.”Gase is wary of a setback and said he wants to decide soon on a starter for Sunday.“I’m running out of time,” he said. “We can’t be wrong and start the week one way, and then flip when we get to Friday.”Miami’s first practice of the week — and first since Nov. 9 — will be Tuesday.While Tannehill’s progress was encouraging, the Dolphins took another hit on the health front when they decided to place receiver-returner Jakeem Grant on injured reserve with a lower leg injury that required surgery. Grant ranks second in the NFL in both kickoff returns and punt returns.He was hurt in the loss at Green Bay a week ago Josh Sitton Jersey , and initially the team hoped he might return this year. Miami lost another dynamic receiver, Albert Wilson, to a season-ending hip injury in Week 7.Receiver DeVante Parker might return this week from a shoulder injury, Gase said. He said the status this week of starting offensive tackles Laremy Tunsil (knee) and Ja’Wuan James (knee) was uncertain. Cornerback Bobby McCain remained in the concussion protocol.The AFC race tightened Sunday with the Dolphins idle. They have a chance to make the playoffs for only the third time in the past 17 seasons even though they’ve been outgained by 787 yards and outscored by 57 points.“It’s who can have the best six-game season,” Gase said. “To give ourselves a chance in December to create our own destiny — that’s what we wanted when we started this thing.” DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — Adam Gase wore his cap with the bill tugged even lower than usual Monday, as if trying to avoid looking at the big picture.It’s not pretty. His Miami Dolphins (5-6) have lost six of their past eight games, including two in a row, to fall below .500 for the first time in 2018.And now they’ve earned a reputation for blowing double-digit fourth-quarter leads. They did it for the second time this season Sunday, when Indianapolis erased a 10-point deficit in the final 8½ minutes to win 27-24.In Week 5, Cincinnati rallied from a 17-point deficit and scored four times in the fourth period to beat Miami 27-17.“You’re disappointed because you’ve got two games where you’re going Andrew Van Ginkel white jersey , 5-6 (could be) 7-4,” Gase said.“It’s a lousy feeling,” he added, although he used a locker-room synonym for “lousy.”Quarterback Ryan Tannehill played Sunday for the first time since the Cincinnati debacle, when he hurt his throwing shoulder. He went 2 for 4 for minus 3 yards in the fourth quarter against the Colts but still finished with a passer rating of 119.4 and emerged from the game in good shape physically.“The shoulder wasn’t an issue,” Tannehill said. “It felt really good. I really didn’t even think about it throughout the game.”Miami’s meltdown was a whopper, however. Indy outgained the Dolphins 200 yards to minus 1 yard in the final 13½ minutes.“The way it went down, obviously, really hurts,” Tannehill said.The collapse triggered a frenzy on social media, with Gase’s play-calling criticized like never before in his three seasons as head coach.He acknowledged second-guessing himself regarding one call Andrew Van Ginkel Miami Dolphins Jerseys , saying the Colts’ scheme surprised him on a second-and-10 pass into the flat to DeVante Parker that went for no gain during a three-and-out before the Colts’ winning drive.“If I could have that one back, that probably could have made a difference,” Gase muttered. “You hate when you’re up and you lose the lead, and you know what you left on the field, and you know some of the situational stuff that didn’t get done right.”As a result, the Dolphins had three takeaways, deflected a punt, scored on a 74-yard pass and still managed to lose.“It was right there,” defensive end Cameron Wake said. “I mean, everything. It was scripted the way we wanted.”With the defeat, the Dolphins fell behind seven teams in the AFC standings. They’ll likely be favored in only two of their final five games Miami Dolphins Jerseys 2019 , including Sunday at home against Buffalo, and appear destined to miss the playoffs for the 15th time in the past 17 years.It can be argued that the Dolphins are worse than their record, and below .500 is where they belong. They rank 28th in the NFL in offense and 29th in defense. They’ve been outgained by 928 yards, third-worst in the league.Injuries continue to ravage the offense, with receiver Danny Amendola (right knee) and center Travis Swanson (ankle) the latest casualties. The status of both for Sunday’s game is uncertain.But Gase predicted his team will bounce back from the latest loss.“The good thing about NFL players is once we hit Wednesday, they really don’t care about last week,” he said. “It’s probably better they’re like that, compared with the coaches. We’ll dwell.”
