Adam Gase announces that Ryan Tannehill will start at quarterback against the Colts.

Tannehill has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury. He stepped up his throwing over the team's bye week and the team added he had no discomfort while throwing. He'll get the start this week against the Colts. Miami is 5-5 and still in the thick of the playoff race.

Adam Gase said Ryan Tannehill increased his throwing program to throwing on the move, making passes up to 50 yards with trainers.

The tweet went on to say Gase doesn’t know if Tannehill will practice Tuesday, but noted he looks similar to how he remembers. Gase didn’t rule Tannehill out for Sunday yet.

Via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, Dolphins coach Adam Gase said his starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill was able to throw without pain before Sunday’s game. Tannehill took a week off from throwing, and felt good after making a few throws.

“That was the start of their throwing progression after so many off,” Gase said. “It seemed like it went well. It’s not like he’s out there throwing 60-yard throws. They have a progression of how they want to do it. They said it was a good first step and he felt good. So that’s a positive.”

Tannehill has missed the last five games with a capsule injury. The best case scenario would be him returning against the Colts on Nov. 25, but first he’d have to get through some practices, which resume next Monday.

Word late last week was that Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill would remain out of action through the team’s Week 11 bye due to the capsule injury to his right shoulder that has kept him out of the last four games.

HC Adam Gase said the team is trying to get to the point where Tannehill feels good throwing and then go from there.
