The Miami Dolphins open the 2018 preseason Thursday night at home against Tampa Bay and that will signal the return of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who will start for Miami according to a source familiar with the team’s plans.
Tannehill, 30, hasn’t played any NFL football game since Dec. 11, 2016. That means it’s been 606 days (one year, seven months and 29 days) since Tannehill last played in a game.
He missed the final month of the 2016 season with an ACL injury suffered against the Arizona Cardinals. And after opting to rehabilitate the ligament rather than have surgery, Tannehill was injured again on Aug.
