With three offensive linemen hurt Preston Brown Jersey , Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill was feeling the heat Monday.From his critics, that is.Tannehill took a pounding in the Dolphins’ latest defeat Sunday at Cincinnati, and then caught plenty of blame for his team’s second ugly loss in a row. Coach Adam Gase, ever loyal to Tannehill, mounted a modest defense by noting problems with pass protection.“I don’t think he was horrible,” Gase said. “When a (teammate) gets beat so fast he can’t defend himself unless he’s Houdini, not many guys are getting away.”More Miami Dolphins newsRally led by FitzMagic comes up short for DolphinsDolphins can’t hang with explosive Cowboys in QB Josh Rosen’s 1st start with MiamiDolphins QB Josh Rosen will reportedly start in place of Ryan Fitzpatrick vs. CowboysDolphins’ excruciating start to season continuesDolphins can’t contain Patriots as Antonio Brown scores in debutThe Dolphins are 3-2 and tied with New England for the AFC East lead, but it hardly feels that way. In the past two weeks they’ve lost at the Patriots 38-7 and blown a 17-point lead at Cincinnati , leaving Gase forced to address the question of whether Tannehill remains his starting quarterback (the answer was yes).Tannehill took responsibility for the Dolphins’ collapse Sunday Cordy Glenn Jersey , when they were outscored 27-0 by the Bengals in the final 21 minutes left and lost 27-17. His ill-advised pass under pressure was intercepted and returned for a touchdown, and a strip sack produced Cincinnati’s final score.“It all started with the turnovers,” Tannehill said. “That’s on me.”In Tannehill’s defense, he was hit 11 times in the second half. Protection by Miami’s injury-riddled line disappeared after left tackle Laremy Tunsil was sidelined with a concussion.This season’s offensive line was expected to be the best Tannehill has played behind, but instead the perennial problem of poor pass protection persists. The Dolphins lost left guard Josh Sitton and center Daniel Kilgore to earlier season-ending injuries.“Anytime starters go down, it’s hard,” Tannehill said.When Miami was 3-0, Tannehill had a quarterback rating of 121.8. But in the past two games it’s 54.0, with one touchdown pass Randy Bullock Jersey , four turnovers and five sacks. He has struggled mostly on third down and late in the game, a career-long pattern.No letup in pass pressure is likely this week, when the Dolphins face the Chicago Bears (3-1) and Pro Bowl end Khalil Mack, who has at least one sack and at least one forced fumble in every game.How will the Dolphins slow Mack down?“You’re not going to slow him down,” Gase said.Sam Young flopped as Tunsil’s replacement in Cincinnati. Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said the Dolphins missed Tunsil, especially because they left Young in one-on-one situations.“It makes a difference when you lose a tackle at this level of football,” Lewis said. “And they didn’t seem to want to help the guy when they left the guy out there. Our guys did a nice job. We had blood in the water, and we went after it.”Gase said he’ll re-evaluate the line this week and make “a couple of decisions” regarding who plays where.“We’ll figure it out,” Gase said. “That’s what we do. They’re not going to stop the season. We’re going to play next week no matter how many guys we’ve got.” After getting Christmas Day off Womens Alex Erickson Jersey , the Cincinnati Bengals returned to the practice field looking as healthy expected before their Week 17 matchup with the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately, their Reserve/Injured list grew and is expected to grow even more.A.J. Green (ankle) was officially placed on IR earlier this week and for the first time all season, will not be featured on the injury report. Green announced he would not play in the team’s final two games last week and the move to IR confirmed that statement.Green is the 12th player for Cincinnati to end up on IR, and William Jackson III (shoulder) is expected to be No. 13. Jackson left last week’s game against the Miami Dolphins after going down awkwardly on his right shoulder in the third quarter. Jackson’s shoulder previously came out of socket earlier this year, so it’s wise to just shut him down to avoid further damage.With Jackson out, Tony McRae (concussion) will be expected to serve as depth at the cornerback position. McRae also left Sunday’s game and didn’t return, but with a full practice today, he appears to be ready to play in the season finale like John Miller (concussion). Miller suffered his concussion two weeks ago against the New England Patriots and had been in the protocol ever since.Stanley Morgan (concussion) also suffered a concussion against the Dolphins and did not practice today, which likely takes him out for Sunday.Fresh off of being eliminated from the playoffs Womens Jessie Bates III Jersey , the Browns could also be coming into this game very banged up. Wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. (groin) and Jarvis Landry (hip) went limited today as well as several others including OT Chris Hubbard (knee), C JC Tretter (knee), DE Olivier Vernon (knee), and DT Sheldon Richardson (back). Beckham was dealing with his injury the last time these two teams played one another. Baker Mayfield was quoted after the game saying the handling of Beckham’s groin by the Browns’ medical staff could’ve been better. With one game left in the season, the Browns will still want Beckham out there.Bengals and Browns Injury Report
