Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill recently visited the medical team that performed surgery on his left knee in Dallas and received a clean bill of health.
Tannehill sustained the injury in training camp in August and missed the entire 2017 season.
“I went back last week and got fully cleared to play football,” Tannehill said on Wednesday. “I’m cleared to play football, so whatever that entails I can go do it.”
The Dolphins tweeted a short video clip of Tannehill taking the practice field with teammates for organized team activities, and he wasn’t wearing a protective sleeve or brace on the knee.
However, Tannehill said he will take preventive measures to protect the surgically repaired knee from hits to the side by wearing a brace during the regular season.
“The brace can help prevent that, minimize that damage and hopefully make it a non-issue moving forward,” Tannehill said.
The Dolphins hope a healthy Tannehill can help them bounce back from a 6-10 record last season.
