Tannehill earns increase in first-team snaps

Ryan Tannehill - QB - Miami Dolphins

Aug. 12, 2012 - 4:30 PM ET

After his impressive exhibition opener, Ryan Tannehill is expected to see increased first-team reps in the Dolphins' second preseason game.

Matt Moore is supposedly in the driver's seat for the Week 1 starting job following David Garrard's knee scope, but Tannehill could pass the incumbent by continuing to outplay Moore in preseason games. Coach Joe Philbin stopped short Sunday of saying Tannehill wouldn't start the second exhibition. Even if Tannehill doesn't, he'll see quite a bit of first-team action in Carolina after shining Friday night against the Bucs.
