DAVIE Zach Allen Jersey , Fla. (AP) — have been a cameo.Or not.With Ryan Tannehill nursing an injury to his throwing shoulder, it was uncertain Monday whether Osweiler will get another start for the Miami Dolphins.Osweiler thrived as Tannehill’s replacement Sunday, passing for a career-high 380 yards and three touchdowns to help beat the Chicago Bears. Tannehill was ruled out only hours before kickoff but might return for Sunday’s home game against the Detroit Lions, coach Adam Gase said.“Ryan is day to day,” Gase said. “We’re going to have to wait a couple of days to see if he’s feeling any better. I’ll know more when I can see him throw again.”The Dolphins (4-2) are tied with New England for the AFC East lead, and have more wins than their next six opponents. But they might need to navigate at least some of that stretch with their backup quarterback.Tannehill first hurt his shoulder in Game 3, but didn’t miss any practice time until last week. Gase said he didn’t know whether there was a chance the injury could be a long-term issue, but said he’s confident Tannehill will play again this season.“It’s such an unusual situation because last week it got worse as the week went on,” Gase said.The coach quashed any potential quarterback controversy by saying Tannehill will return to the lineup when he’s healthy.Regardless of how long he remains out, Osweiler said he’ll be ready.“Every week, whether I’m the starter, backup, third string, you name it, I prepare the same way,” the seventh-year pro said. “I’ve done that my whole career Hakeem Butler Jersey , because you never know what’s going to happen. An entire organization is counting on you to be prepared.”Osweiler went 28 for 44 and rallied Miami from an 11-point deficit in the final 16 minutes of regulation to win 31-28. In the fourth quarter and overtime, he went 10 for 14 for 213 yards and two scores.Osweiler had a lot of help. The Dolphins finished with 541 yards, their highest total in 30 years. They had a 300-yard passer, 100-yard rusher and 100-yard receiver in the same game for the first time in 27 years.“I’m messed up enough to think that’s what it’s going to be every week,” Gase said.An injury-plagued offensive line didn’t allow a sack and paved the way for 161 yards rushing, and Frank Gore reached the 100 mark for the 46th time. Albert Wilson turned short passes from Osweiler into touchdowns covering 43 and 75 yards.In short, with Tannehill out, his teammates rose to the occasion.“It’s definitely a downer, because we’ve been working with this guy so much, and he’s the leader of our team,” Wilson said. “But football is next man up, and we’ve got full confidence in Brock.”Osweiler improved his record as a starter to 14-12. But he was 0-4 last year with the Denver Broncos, which made him expendable, and he signed with the Dolphins in March to back up Tannehill.He found the chance to work with Gase again appealing. Gase was his offensive coordinator in Denver in 2013-14.“I wanted to play football for coach Gase and that’s it, plain and simple,” Osweiler said. “I believe in him. I believe in his system.”Familiarity with the system came in handy against the Bears. For example Chris Lindstrom Jersey , on a 2-point play the Dolphins converted to tie the game in the fourth quarter, the two primary receivers slipped and were covered, so Osweiler found Kenny Stills in the back of the end zone for the score.“The 2-point conversion — we have never thrown the ball to that guy,” Gase said.“I’ve been hearing that play get called since 2013,” Osweiler said, “so I’ve run through it mentally in my head probably at least 500 times.”Osweiler also salvaged a third-and-11 play in the fourth quarter, scrambling away from pressure before throwing downfield. The pass deflected off the hand of linebacker Adrian Amos Jr., who had his back to the ball, and Stills gathered it in for a 35-yard gain.“That’s when you know the football gods are on your side,” Osweiler said.With their quarterback situation uncertain, the Dolphins will take all the help they can get. ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Thousands of Chiefs fans chanted Tyreek Hill’s name as he pranced toward the practice field for the first full-squad workout of training camp Saturday, the first time the star wide receiver has practiced with his teammates since the AFC title game.Hill thumped his chest, signed autographs, high-stepped across one practice field and played to the fans just over a week after the NFL said he would face no punishment from a messy offseason situation.The two-time All-Pro was suspended by the team during the NFL draft when audio surfaced of his then-fiance, Crystal Espinal http://www.lionsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jahlani-tavai-jersey , accusing him of hurting their 3-year-old son. But a criminal investigation and subsequent league inquiries failed to find enough evidence to support the claims.When the NFL announced last week it would not suspend Hill this season, the Chiefs wasted little time in confirming he would report to camp on the campus of Missouri Western State University.“Looked like he did some good things. He had a couple nice grabs, fast, quick, all of that,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “He had a couple deep balls that he had to go get and he got them.”Hill was not available to speak to reporters, but quarterback Patrick Mahomes — who kept hitting him with a series of deep downfield throws — certainly sounded glad to have him back.“I thought it was good. I thought as a whole, the whole offense was rolling,” said Mahomes, the reigning league MVP. “We were really connecting on a lot of deep balls and intermediate throws. That’s a big part of our offense.”The overwhelmingly positive reception that Hill received on the practice field of the Division II college came just months after a public outcry to banish him from the league entirely.On the tape, only parts of which were aired on a local TV station, Hill talked about the way he punishes his son while also making threatening comments toward Espinal. The team immediately suspended Hill from all team activities, including voluntary summer workouts and its mandatory minicamp.At the time, Chiefs chairman Clark Hunt said he was “deeply disturbed” by the audio.The full conversation, secretly recorded in a Dubai airport, aired months later on a local radio station. It put the initial audio in greater context: Hill not only denies hurting his son Kyler Murray Jersey , he also said that he never hurt Espinal during a 2015 incident in which he pleaded guilty to domestic abuse.Hill was kicked off the Oklahoma State team following the incident and wound up at West Alabama.He had largely steered clear of trouble after the Chiefs took a significant risk by taking him in the fifth round of the 2016 draft. Hill also became one of the top returners and wide receivers in the NFL, earning a pair of All-Pro nods and three trips to the Pro Bowl while shattering a series of Chiefs records, including yards receiving in a season with 1,479 this past year.The Chiefs and representatives for Hill were discussing a long-term contract when the audio of Hill first broke. Those talks were shelved and it remains unclear to what extent they have resumed.“I had a good visit with him earlier this week,” Hunt said Saturday. “It was a very frank conversation, talking to him about his responsibility as he comes back to being a Kansas City Chief.”Hunt declined to discuss the specifics of the conversation, but the chairman did say he stood by his comments about the initial audio. “I thought there was some inappropriate language in that tape,” he added, “and I’m sure Tyreek wishes he could have it back.”Also showing up for practice was defensive tackle Chris Jones, who skipped the offseason while angling for a new contract. He’s hoping to parlay his 15 1/2-sack performance last season into a massive payday, but the two sides appear far apart as he enters the last year of his rookie deal.“Most guys in that position, there’s a lot of outside noise that dictates what they do,” Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu said. “For him to be here, that says a lot about his character and who he is as a person. … I could tell it’s not necessarily about money. It’s also being back in line with his boys.”NOTES: FS Armani Watts hurt his ribs during a running test earlier Saturday and was placed on the non-football injury list. … CB Bashaud Breeland cut his thumb early in practice. He was replaced by D’Montre Moore, who made the most of his opportunity by picking off a pass.
