Detroit Lions must knock Dolphins QB Brock Osweiler off his 'Cloud 9'

Brock Osweiler will make his second straight start at quarterback for the Miami Dolphins this weekend, and that move comes as no surprise to the Detroit Lions.

Though the Lions used backup quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Jake Rudock to simulate both Osweiler and Ryan Tannehill in practice Wednesday, Lions safety Glover Quin said he expected Osweiler to get the nod after throwing for a career-high 380 yards in an overtime win over the Chicago Bears last week.

"I felt like it," Quin said. "I mean, those injuries are tough to come back from."

Dolphins coach Adam Gase ruled Tannehill out on Wednesday with a right shoulder injury he suffered in a Week 5 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.
