The Facts: Tannehill has continued to progress splendidly in his recovery from major knee surgery in August and the expectation is that he will be ready for the team's offseason program beginning in April.

Diehards Line: As Herald staffer Barry Jackson notes, whether Tannehill will be doing everything by April and May practices remains to be seen. The Dolphins obviously won’t do anything foolish or premature. But Tannehill is expected to be a participant in offseason work. He was seen running well late in the season and running stairs at road games. He has been throwing well (obviously, that shouldn’t be affected by his knee issues) and is walking without a limp. Adam Gase has said that Tannehill will be Miami’s starting quarterback in 2018. He was 12th in the league in passer rating in 2016 before sustaining a season-ending knee injury in Miami’s 13th game.
