Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill suffered a non-contact knee injury in practice Thursday morning, and while the injury hasn't been diagnosed yet, the team fears he will need season-ending surgery, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Miami Dolphins now fear quarterback Ryan Tannehill is going to need season-ending knee surgery, however no decision to have it has been made at this time, according to sources close to the situation.
As second and third opinions await, Tannehill still could decide to rest it for six to eight weeks and try to come back from his knee injury again, sources said.
But the Dolphins are growing increasingly concerned that surgery will be the most viable and likely option as they and their starting quarterback sift through them.
Tannehill's injury happened on this play:
Tannehill suffered a partially torn ACL at the end of last season, but elected not to have surgery this offseason. He was wearing a brace on his knee at the time of the injury.
The 6th-year pro passed for 2,995 with 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 13 games last season.
