Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill will start on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts after missing the team's past five games due to a shoulder injury, head coach Adam Gase announced Tuesday, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.

Dolphins reporters at Tuesday's practice said Tannehill appeared to be throwing without limitations.

Miami has kept its head above water without Tannehill. Brock Osweiler started all five games in his absence, and the Dolphins went 2-3 to stay in the AFC wild-card hunt.

Tannehill's start to the season was inconsistent before suffering his injury. He had three straight games with a completion percentage above 70 percent while also tossing seven touchdowns to just two interceptions. Then the veteran began struggling in Weeks 4 and 5, committing five turnovers in the two losses.
