DAVIE, Fla. -- As quarterback Ryan Tannehill jogged out of the locker room before the start of the second half last Sunday, the rest of the Miami Dolphins players and coaches perked up.
It initially looked as if Tannehill suffered an ugly right ankle injury. Right tackle Ja'Wuan James accidentally stepped on Tannehill's leg during a late-second-quarter sack against New England, and Tannehill went into the locker room before halftime with a heavy limp. Worry hit Miami's sideline, but finally, in an injury-plagued year, the Dolphins got good news.
