Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill has ACL/MCL sprain

Dec 12, 2016

The Miami Dolphins received some good and surprising injury news Monday when quarterback Ryan Tannehill was diagnosed with an ACL and MCL sprain in his left knee, head coach Adam Gase confirmed.

According to Gase, surgery is not required but the team still isn't sure if Tannehill will return this season. Backup quarterback Matt Moore will take over the offense this week as Miami (8-5) prepares for the New York Jets (4-9).

Fantasy Impact:

The Dolphins were bracing for the worst Sunday evening after Tannehill was hit low late in the third quarter by Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Calais Campbell. Tannehill left the locker room on crutches.

Rex Burkhead was running well this season and looked to be in the discussion for the Patriots’ most effective back. However, that all came to an end Sunday when he suffered a season-ending knee injury that may end his time in New England.

Related players: Damien Harris, James White, Sony Michel

Fantasy Impact:

Burkhead will be a 30-year-old unrestricted free agent and may not be in the plans for the Patriots moving forward. Harris, White and Michel, who didn't play in Week 11 but was activated, will lead the way at RB. It could continue to be a cloudy situation when it comes to the New England running backs especially if Michel is activated for Week 12.
