Ten-year pro Matt Moore will receive the start for the fourth week in a row for the Dolphins (10-6), who are making their first postseason appearance since 2008.
Tannehill has been sidelined since the Dec. 11 game versus the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14 with a sprained ACL and MCL in his left knee. Coach Adam Gase cited Tannehill’s lack of ability to move and protect himself in the pocket on Wednesday as a primary reason to keep him off the field.
Moore has posted a 2-1 mark since replacing Tannehill, throwing for 721 yards, eight touchdowns, three interceptions. He has a 105.6 passer rating in four games.
For the season, Tannehill completed 67.1 percent of his passes, throwing for 2,995 yards, 19 touchdowns and 12 interceptions with a 93.5 passer rating in 13 games.
