This season marks the return of quarterback Ryan Tannehill, the team’s starter since 2012, who has missed the past 20 games because of a left knee injury he had surgically repaired last fall. Tannehill, who owns a 37-40 record as Miami’s starter, participated in all of the Dolphins’ offseason practices without limitations.
