It looks like the playoff-contending Miami Dolphins should have their starting quarterback available this week against the Indianapolis Colts.

Ryan Tannehill took first-team reps in the portion of practice open to the media in Miami on Wednesday, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald. Tannehill suffered a hyperextended left knee and deep thigh bruise last week against the New York Jets. Backup quarterback Matt Moore finished out the game.

Make that Tan the Man

Matt Moore is listed on the Dolphins' Week 9 injury report with a calf injury, but was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

The fact that Moore practiced fully suggests this injury is not a concern for his Week 9 status. However, most signs are pointing to Ryan Tannehill (knee, quad) starting on Sunday against the Colts after the rookie was limited in practice on Wednesday.
