Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is dealing with a serious wrist injury that he claims was re-aggravated during his controversial arrest two months ago.

Before Miami’s Week 1 home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sept. 8, Tyreek Hill was taken out of his car and placed in handcuffs by officers of the Miami-Dade Police Department.

Bodycam footage of the incident was later released to the public. The arresting officers faced immense backlash for their handling of the incident, as Hill was completely calm and showed no aggression or threatening behavior whatsoever:

Ahead of the Dolphins’ Week 10 “Monday Night Football” game against the Los Angeles Rams, Tyreek Hill told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that he’s dealing with a torn ligament in his wrist. Hill told Salters that he “re-aggravated’ the injury when officers arrested him:

 

“He said it’s something that he’s really being dealing with all season long. He said it first started in training camp, but then he said it got re-aggravated when he was arrested right before the opening game of the season. He was taken to the ground by police…he said that that’s where the further damage was done.

“Tyreek said that he’s had an MRI and that the MRI showed that he has a torn ligament that he said that he’s playing through. He said ‘I just really don’t know what to do, because I’ve never really been injured before. I’m going to keep playing. Nothing’s going to stop me.”

One of the officers involved in the incident, 27-year veteran Danny Torres, was placed on administrative leave. Hill called for the department to fire Torres, and there’s no update on where the investigation stands.

 

Over his first eight games of 2024, Hill has caught 34 passes fo 446 yards and one touchdown. The eight-time Pro Bowler has seen a drop in production due to Tua Tagovailoa’s absence, as Miami’s starting QB missed four games because of a concussion.

The 2-6 Dolphins aren’t completely finished yet, but they can probably afford one more loss at most to sneak into the postseason. The 5-5 Denver Broncos occupy the AFC’s final playoff spot with a 5-5 record.

After visiting the Rams, Miami will head back home to host the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.

Dolphins Need Vintage Tyreek Hill vs. Rams

If the Dolphins are to upset the surging Rams on the road today, they’ll need Hill to bring his A-game. This game will likely be a back-and-forth shootout, so the likes of Hill, Jaylen Waddle, De’Von Achane and Raheem Mostert must step up.

REPORT: New Clear-Cut Favorite Emerges To Land Dolphins Superstar WR Tyreek Hill In Blockbuster Trade

The Miami Dolphins are not having a good 2024 season, which could lead them to part ways with players like Tyreek Hill.

The Miami Dolphins have struggled to get the ball to their star wide receiver.

The team has struggled since Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion in Week 2. Since his return, the team has gone 1-1.

Every loss pushes them further down in the standings.

Now, according to Bovada, which is a gambling and sports betting website, they are mapping the Kansas City Chiefs as the favorite to trade for All-Pro receiver Tyreek Hill.

 

Hill has 34 catches for 446 receiving yards and one touchdown on the year.

His production is way down from past years, but that has more to do with Tua being out for much of the year.

The Chiefs have already added DeAndre Hopkins, so adding Tyreek Hill would be quite unfair.

Tyreek Hill Previously Responded To Trade Rumors

The Miami Dolphins’ 2-6 start to the 2024 NFL season has made Tyreek Hill the subject of some early trade rumors.

Hill was asked about the trade rumors surrounding him just last month as speculation arose that the Kansas City Chiefs could be interested in him after Rashee Rice’s potential season-ending injury.

Hill made it clear that he wanted to remain with the Dolphins despite their slow start, which had them with a 1-3 record at the time.

“I’m just focused on right here and right now,” the 30-year-old receiver told reporters. “We’ve got a beautiful team here, and I wanna be a part of it.”

Tyreek elaborated that several factors have made him love his “great situation” in Miami.

“My family loves it,” Hill explained. “I enjoy it; the weather’s great; the fans are great; so, we’ve got a beautiful situation here.”
