Quarterback Ryan Tannehill

(Your thoughts on being back at practice, although it’s on a limited basis. But you came back out there?) – “It’s exciting to be back out there. I’ve put in a lot of work to try to get myself ready to go. Taking the first step and getting back out there is huge.”

(How confident do you feel that if there is a game next week, you’ll have a good chance [to play]?) – “I don’t know. (We’re) still working through that. (I’m) excited to get back out there today; but at this point, just taking it day-by-day still, and we’ll see what happens next week.”

(What have doctors told you about any risk to the MCL or the ACL for that matter, if you happen to play in the next three or four weeks? Is there a serious risk?) – “That’s something we’re working through, just figuring out where my knee is at structurally, and we’re being smart with it. If there’s a huge risk of doing further damage, then (Head Coach) Adam (Gase) has made it clear that he’s not going to let me go back out there. That’s what we’re working through right now is working with the doctors, communicating how I feel, doing the tests on it to see what they feel, marrying those up and seeing where we go from there.”

(Odds of surgery – have you been given any indication if it’s likely this offseason?) – “We don’t know. We’re still working through that.”

(How comfortable did you feel out there?) – “I felt good. Obviously, it has been a while, so a little different. But it’s just good to be back out there and competing with the guys.”

(What were some of the things you were able to do today?) – “I just took a few reps on the scout team. Nothing crazy, but (I) was able to take a few reps, so that was fun.”

(How would you describe your mobility in general at this time?) – “It’s getting better every day. That’s what we’re working for is to be able to move, protect myself, be able to move in the pocket, evade the rush and things like that. That’s what we’re working through. Range of motion, strength and everything can make that possible.”

(What are the chances you think of New England – if you all should win this week – for you? Do you give yourself a real chance of being ready for that game?) – “I don’t know. I’m doing everything I can to get out there as soon as possible, as soon as they clear me to go. Right now, it’s tough to say. Just doing everything I can to make it happen as soon as possible.”
