Tannehill's advanced progress through rehab makes it unlikely that he'll require reconstructive knee surgery this offseason, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
Tannehill sustained a partial ACL tear and MCL sprain on Dec. 11 but has since improved the stability of his knee through many strength-focused exercises. In fact, the knee is doing so well that he's already able to play basketball as part of his rehab. While that has proven his knee's ability to tolerate sudden movements, Tannehill still has an MRI scheduled for Monday, at which point his outlook could be updated. As it stands, the quarterback is not believed to need full ACL surgery, but it's still possible that he could travel to Germany to undergo platelet-rich plasma therapy to promote further healing. Whether that happens or not, there's currently confidence that Tannehill's knee will be stable enough for him to be ready to start next season.
