Per the Sun Sentinel:
"A sprain could be a completely torn anything," Tannehill said. "It’s not completely all the way off but definitely [off the bone]."
Tannehill than said of his MCL injury, "It’s categorized as a Grade II so there’s some integrity left."
According to the UCSF Medical Center, a Grade II MCL injury usually takes 2-4 weeks to heal completely. We might get our quarterback back just in time for this Super Bowl run.:dolphin:

That is great news.

Why would we risk this in any way, shape or form. Gase has sat players all year and never rushed anyone back. We are reaping that with X Factor now

We're gunna need him for week 17 and beyond. thank god this is awesome news.
Although I probably wouldnt put him in unless everyones sure he's 90-100%.
Moore wont get away with some of the things he did last night against teams who havent mentally started their off seasonresnor likes this. -

Honestly, the reports from last night from Florio and others was that the ACL is partially torn, and the MCL is completely of the bone. Reconstructive surgery may still need to happen.
They should just put him on IR and ride the wave with Matt Moore. -
Agree at this point, get him the surgery and lets roll with Matt Moore for the remaining games.

Looks like Tannehill may need surgery after all. It's a shame, but I think we just need to shut him down for the season and rally behind Moore. Let Tannehill get 100% for 2017.resnor likes this. -
i think the dolphins disputed that the acl or mcl tore off the bone. even if its just a mcl 2 i dont see how he could come back prior to the divisional playoffs. i went through a mcl 2 sprain and i wasn't walking right for a full month. 2 weeks sounds impossible to me. there just wont be enough stability or strength in the knee

Shoot it up and wrap it in a brace! Should be able to go against New England!

It's all speculation at this point, folks; but we know 2 things:
1) Tannehill doesn't speak a ton to the media; but when he does, he's honest. If he's saying that he's hoping to play again this season, it's backed by good information, i.e. his MCL isn't completely detached.
2) Gase has managed the roster relatively well all year long. Right now, Ryan's taking up a roster spot. That's not a small thing. If he didn't have a realistic shot at playing again, he'd be IR'd. Every roster spot counts.
I think there's about a 40% chance we see RT again this year; and if so, it's in the 1st round of the playoffs. Miami's not going to risk Tanny's long-term health, in my opinion. But, like everyone else, that's me speculating.
