A mystery that birthed a thousand Twitter doctors was solved Friday:
Ryan Tannehill suffered a capsule injury to his throwing shoulder during a jarring hit by Bengals defensive end Carlos Dunlap in Week 5.
The injury has caused Tannehill great discomfort and has sidelined him for a month. He has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Jets, and his availability for the following week is very much in doubt.
Doctors have determined that rest, not surgery, is the best course of action, and while Tannehill has thrown a football in recent days, he has not during practice when members of the media have been present.
