Dolphins QB Tannehill sits out drills; unlikely vs Steelers

DAVIE, Fla. — Ryan Tannehill stood on the practice field Wednesday wearing a cap, T-shirt and knee brace, idly spinning a ball in his hands as he watched teammate Matt Moore throw.

That's how Tannehill is preparing for the Miami Dolphins' playoff game Sunday at Pittsburgh , where he will also likely be a spectator.

The Dolphins' No. 1 quarterback sat out practice Wednesday, making it unlikely he'll return from a sprained left knee for the team's first postseason game since 2008.

"We may run out of time this week," coach Adam Gase said.

Tannehill has missed the past three games.
