The Miami Dolphins aren’t making any last-second quarterback changes ahead of Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Coach Adam Gase said on Wednesday that Brock Osweiler will be under center for the Dolphins (4-2) in their game versus the Lions (2-3) at Hard Rock Stadium.

While that decision comes without issue, multiple media outlets are reporting that the NFL is reviewing the manner in which the Dolphins divulged Ryan Tannehill’s injury prior to Sunday’s game against the Chicago Bears.

Tannehill was listed as questionable with a right shoulder injury on Friday despite being a full participant in practice throughout the week. He was then ruled inactive 90 minutes prior to the start of the game.

Gase initially was defensive when asked about the development surrounding Tannehill after the overtime win over the Bears. He later said he expects Tannehill to play again this season and that he’ll be the starter when he does return, but isn’t exactly certain when that will be.

“I’m not sure. I really don’t know. I don’t know the answer. It’s day-to-day. It’s really going to come down to how he feels,” Gase said on Monday.
. Tannehill was spotted at practice Wednesday, but was not throwing the ball during the portion open to the media.

For the season, Tannehill has completed 85 of 129 passes for 972 yards with eight touchdowns and five interceptions.

Osweiler started in place of Tannehill on Sunday and completed 28 of 44 passes for a career-high 380 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions.
