Gase wasn&#8217;t happy with the way the team performed last season and felt that a full-contact camp was what they needed to get it together. 2016&#8217;s breakout running back <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/A\/AjayJa00.htm?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jay Ajayi<\/a><\/strong> has already been a victim of the full-contact after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/nfl\/news\/dolphins-confirm-jay-ajayis-concussion-rb-expected-to-miss-at-least-a-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffering a concussion this past week<\/a>. Ajayi will likely only miss a week, and maybe the first pre-season game, but a concussion this early is still not a good sign.<\/p>\n<p>The Dolphins latest injury, however, has little to nothing to do with Gase&#8217;s approach to training camp. Earlier in today&#8217;s practice, Tannehill scrambled during one of the plays. He ran out of bounds, untouched, but his left knee buckled, causing him to collapse. The concern with the team, as well as the fans, is that it is the same knee which Tannehill suffered a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.espn.com\/nfl\/story\/_\/id\/18262832\/miami-dolphins-qb-ryan-tannehill-acl-mcl-sprains-left-knee\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">sprained ACL and MCL last season<\/a>. That is, however, still the worst case scenario for Tannehill&#8217;s injury.<\/p>\n<p>Tannehill wasn&#8217;t required to have surgery on the sprain and seemed to be healed, in a knee brace, at the start of training camp. The initial thought is that Tannehill has hyperextended his knee and possibly has PCL damage. The team is awaiting MRI results before making any decisions on Tannehill at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Main image credit:<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; text-align: left;\"><a style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/629161024\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow: hidden; position: relative; height: 0; padding: 66.666667% 0 0 0; width: 100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: inline-block; position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; margin: 0;\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/629161024?et=O7STKeHbQ8Zf_MLq3zjS7A&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=8bQRYfYQU1RBS_nlknuxZVBKKz6bIMuMhQHZvNWgJ3M=&amp;caption=true\" width=\"594\" height=\"396\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin: 0;\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A pre-season that has been plagued with injuries has claimed another victim.
