Report: Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill out for season with ACL injury

[JonLP24]

Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill has an ACL injury and will miss the rest of the season, Miami radio host Andy Slater reports.

Tannehill was injured on a low hit from Cardinals defensive end Calais Campbell and ruled out for the rest of Sunday’s game. He was able to leave the field and walk to the locker room under his own power.

Tannehill was taken to the locker room for evaluation and emerged in street clothes. When he returned to the bench, his teammates approached him to console him.

Tannehill was replaced by veteran backup Matt Moore, who led the Dolphins on a game-winning drive capped by a 21-yard field goal as time expired.

1. He looks so broken up about it

Terrible news. Hopefully he bounces back next season.

Meanwhile, the Cardinals are still underachieving. What a disappointment they've been this year.

2. Special teams

That alone has cost them 3 or 4 games. Plus the conditions were awful, worst rain I've seen.

3. I hope Matt Moore can step up for the Fins

And Tannehill was looking so much better this year

4. He sprained ACL - may be back by week 17!!!

5. He should call it a season if they fall out of the playoff hunt.

I think the Pats will be all in on the 1 seed the final week - he'll be better off resting it and coming back strong next year.

6. If you want to make the playoffs, you may have to root for the Pats against Denver

next Sunday. It always makes my stomach turn a little to have to root for a divisional rival.

You should be able to beat the Jets, but Buffalo is going to be a critical game. The Pats may be in a position to sit a bunch of players if they have the #1 or #2 seed locked in by week 17. Despite what Belichick says about not caring who they play, I'm sure they'd rather see the Fins grab the last WC spot than Denver.
