Dolphins' Ryan Tannehill: Returns to practice

Tannehill is expected to take part in OTas with the Dolphins, marking his first practices with the team since his season-ending knee injury, James Walker of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis:

Tannehill suffered ACL and MCL sprains that kept him from playing in the Dolphins' final four games in 2016, including the team's playoff loss to Pittsburgh. His injury didn't require surgery and isn't expected to limit him going forward. That being said, Tannehill will be wearing a brace on the knee as a preventative measure to help avoid any setbacks heading into the 2017 campaign.
