Brock Osweiler gets third straight start for Dolphins

DAVIE, Fla. -- Brocktober will continue for the third consecutive game.

Dolphins coach Adam Gase said that Brock Osweiler will start Thursday at Houston, and Ryan Tannehill will miss his third game. Tannehill is dealing with a shoulder injury that has prevented him from throwing yet.

Gase said Tannehill is in a "good spot" and they plan for him to throw this week. He did mention there's no guarantee it would be a real football, and it could be a Nerf football.

The Dolphins still expect that Tannehill won't need surgery, that he will return this season and he will be their starter when he does.
