Adam Gase and the Miami Dolphins were able to pull off a huge 31-28 victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 6 NFL action. It was a big win for the team, especially with starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill being forced to miss the game due to a right shoulder injury. Brock Osweiler started the game and played very well for the Dolphins.
Following the game, Gase was bombarded with questions about Tannehill's injury. He stated that he didn't know, but in a press conference shared by ESPN via Pro Football Talk, Gase did state that he gets tired of answering questions related to his starting quarterback.
“There is some kind of HIPAA law. Go ask him. I’m tired of answering a question about this guy. I got it; I’m over it. Me and him, we know he’s not ready right now. Details we’ll keep to us. You guys don’t need to know that.”
Tannehill has been solid so far this season. He has completed 65.9 percent of his pass attempts for 972 yards, eight touchdowns, and five interceptions. Miami's offense has looked extremely improved from last season.
Miami now sits at 4-2 on the season, which places them tied for first in the AFC East division. Due to a loss against the New England Patriots earlier this season, the Patriots are technically leading the division.
It will be interesting to see how long the shoulder injury forces Tannehill to miss. Osweiler will continue starting for the Dolphins in his absence.
Osweiler completed 28 of his 44 passes for 380 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Those numbers are solid, especially due to how talented the Bears' defense is this season.
Expect to hear more about Tannehill in the coming week. Miami would certainly love to have him back next week against the Detroit Lions, but at this point in time, it is too early to know if he will able to come back that quickly.
