Friday\u2019s roundup: Dolphins consider quarterback options<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

\n

Ryan Tannehill sat in the team cafeteria Friday, his left leg in a brace and propped on a chair as he watched practice from afar with a sullen stare.<\/span><\/p>\n

He has again been demoted to the role of spectator, perhaps for the entire season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Knee surgery is an option for the Dolphins quarterback, although it\u2019s possible an operation can be avoided, coach Adam Gase said. But even then Tannehill is expected to be sidelined at least six weeks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tannehill, who missed the final four games of last season with two sprained ligaments in his knee, reinjured it in practice Thursday. An MRI was inconclusive, and the Dolphins are consulting with a multitude of specialists.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI wouldn\u2019t say second and third opinions \u2014 we\u2019re probably going deeper than that, talking to a lot of people, making sure we get the right information,\u201d Gase said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is on the table right now.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s no timetable for a decision, he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gase said he hasn\u2019t decided whether to bring in another quarterback. Matt Moore went 2-2 as a starter replacing Tannehill last year and becomes the new No. 1 \u2014 for the moment. The other QBs on the roster are David Fales and Brandon Doughty.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cRight now Matt is our quarterback,\u201d Gase said. \u201cWe\u2019ll see where we go from there. I\u2019ve got to figure out what\u2019s going on with Ryan, and then we\u2019ll make decisions after that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins could pursue Colin Kaepernick, who parted ways with the 49ers in March and remains unsigned. Jay Cutler, who played for the Bears when Gase was their offensive coordinator, would be an option if he\u2019s willing to give up his new job as a TV commentator.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dolphins spent several weeks after last season assessing the extent of Tannehill\u2019s ACL and MCL sprains before ruling out surgery. Tannehill instead rehabilitated the partially torn ligaments and underwent stem cell treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n

He didn\u2019t miss an offseason workout, and by May was saying he felt 100 percent. But his knee buckled on a scramble Thursday, and he fell without being hit.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYesterday was a tough day,\u201d Gase said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extra points<\/span><\/p>\n

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady says he prefers to keep any medical issues in his past private, including whether he had a concussion last season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brady\u2019s wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, told \u201cCBS This Morning\u201d in May Brady played through a concussion on his way to a fifth Super Bowl title.<\/span><\/p>\n

… Kurt Warner\u2019s family made it to Canton, Ohio, for his Hall of Fame weekend thanks to help from Cardinals President Michael Bidwill.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bidwill sent his private jet to pick up 13 members of Warner\u2019s family who were stranded at O\u2019Hare Airport in Chicago. The quarterback, who will be inducted into the shrine tonight, tweeted a thank you to his former boss for getting his relatives to Canton for the festivities.<\/span><\/p>\n

… The Cowboys edged the Cardinals 20-18 in the Hall of Fame game Thursday night at Canton, Ohio.<\/span><\/p>\n

Personnel dept.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Jets signed defensive end Devon Still. Still, a second-round pick of the Bengals in 2012, became a fan favorite after his young daughter\u2019s battle with cancer became public.<\/span><\/p>\n

… Coach Mike Tomlin and the Steelers have agreed to an extension that will keep him in Pittsburgh through the 2020 season.<\/span><\/p>\n

… Bills starting left tackle Cordy Glenn missed his second straight practice because of a left foot injury.<\/span><\/p>\n
