Brock Osweiler: Calls it a career
Brock Osweiler announced his retirement Wednesday, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.Osweiler struggled to find his footing over the last three years, making stops in Houston, Denver and Miami, so he'll hang up the cleats. The Broncos' 2012 second-round pick is best known for the team's 2015 Super Bowl run. Although he didn't play in the big game, there's no doubt he was a major reason they made it there. Osweiler took over for an injured Peyton Manning and registered a 5-2 record to secure the top seed in the AFC. Manning went on to win his second Super Bowl and the Broncos' third. Osweiler finished his career with a 15-15-0 record, 7,418 passing yards, 37 touchdowns and 31 interceptions over 49 games (30 started).

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Mixed bag in 2018
,Brock Osweiler threw for 1247 yards, six touchdowns and four interceptions during the 2018 season.Osweiler did not throw a pass during Miami's final six games of the season due to the return of starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill. The 28-year-old was thrust into the starting lineup from Week 6 to Week 10, leading the Miami Dolphins to two wins and three losses during that stretch, while completing 63 percent of his passing attempts. After throwing for 380 yards and three touchdowns in his first start, a Week 6 win over the Bears, Osweiler achieved mixed results through the next four games. Once thought of as a potential franchise quarterback, Osweiler looked much more serviceable playing a backup role during the 2018 season. With Osweiler set to become a free agent this offseason, if Miami doesn't chose to bring him back, it seems likely that he'll land a No. 2 job elsewhere in the league.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Late addition to injury report
The Miami Dolphins added Brock Osweiler to their injury report hours before Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a back issue, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. He's considered questionable for the contest.Osweiler didn't appear on the injury report Wednesday through Friday, so the assumption is that he practiced fully all three days and developed the back issue at some point after the final session of the week. If Osweiler is unable to suit up Sunday, David Fales would check in as the backup to starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Returns to No. 2 role
Brock Osweiler is in line to serve as the Miami Dolphins' backup quarterback Sunday against the Colts with coach Adam Gase naming Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) the Week 12 starter, Adam H. Beasley and Jordan McPherson of the Miami Herald report.After missing the Dolphins' previous five games with an injury to his throwing shoulder, Tannehill cleared up any lingering concern about his health coming out of the team's Week 11 bye at Tuesday's practice. While Tannehill didn't display his usual game velocity on the throws, the report notes he showed good accuracy while incrementally increasing his throwing distance. Gase apparently agreed with that assessment, prompting him to turn the gig back over to Tannehill after Osweiler went 2-3 while completing 63 percent of his attempts for 1,212 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions during his run as starter. Unless Tannehill's shoulder acts up again over the Dolphins' final six contests of 2018, don't expect Osweiler to see any snaps outside of garbage time.

Osweiler is averaging just 208 passing yards per game over the last four and hasn't thrown a touchdown in any of his last three.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Getting another start before bye week
Brock Osweiler will start Sunday's game in Green Bay, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.The assignment comes with the Miami Dolphins ruling Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) out for a fifth straight game ahead of their Week 11 bye. The team hopes to get Tannehill back after the break, but coach Adam Gase didn't sound too optimistic when discussing the quarterback's progress after Wednesday's practice. Osweiler will take aim at a Packers defense that's been mediocre against the pass this season, surrendering 248 yards and 1.8 touchdowns per game through the air.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Likely to get another start
Brock Osweiler seems likely to get another start Week 10 in Green Bay, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com reports.Osweiler was essentially a non-factor in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jets, completing 15 of 24 pass attempts for 139 yards. His overall performance the past four weeks has been thoroughly mediocre, but he's at least kept Miami in the wild-card race while Ryan Tannehill recovers from a shoulder injury. It makes sense for the team to keep Tannehill out until after a Week 11 bye, but coach Adam Gase said he won't make an announcement until Wednesday.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Plays minimal role in win over Jets
Brock Osweiler completed 15 of 24 pass attempts for 139 yards against the Jets. He also carried three times for four yards in the 13-6 win.Osweiler completed 63 percent of his pass attempts, but most of them went for short gains as he finished with an average of 5.8 yards per attempt. He faced treacherous field conditions and a solid Jets defense on the day, both of which factored into his lowest yardage output of the season. On a positive note, Osweiler went without a turnover for the first time this season, and it was his second straight game without an interception. Even though he'll be forced to throw often in Week 11 against the Packers, Osweiler doesn't warrant a starting spot on many fantasy rosters.

Dolphins' Brock Osweiler: Tabbed for Week 9 start
Brock Osweiler has been named the Miami Dolphins' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Jets, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Ryan Tannehill (shoulder) has been ruled out for another game and also seems to be in danger of missing Week 10 in Green Bay. At this point, it might make sense for the Dolphins to simply wait until after their Week 11 bye before bringing Tannehill back. In the meantime, Osweiler will take aim at a Jets defense that has been surprisingly stingy against the pass this season, allowing just 7.1 yards per attempt with a 15:10 TD:INT. Opposing quarterbacks have nonetheless managed 277 passing yards per game, taking advantage of elevated volume caused by Gang Green's struggles on offense.
