Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill left Monday night’s 27-21 victory against the New York Jets after suffering a potentially serious left knee injury early in the third quarter. Hill was quickly ruled out and transported to a local hospital for further imaging and evaluation.
The injury occurred after Hill caught a 10-yard pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa along the sideline. As he went out of bounds, Hill’s leg twisted awkwardly and he immediately clutched his knee in pain. Medical staff placed an air cast on his leg before carting him off the field.
Despite the concerning scene, Hill tried to remain positive. He clapped his hands several times and even smiled toward the crowd as he was taken away. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel later praised Hill’s attitude, saying:
“He was probably in the best spirits of any player I’ve ever seen in that situation. It’s such a tough moment, but Tyreek kept telling everyone, ‘I’m good. Just make sure the guys finish this win.’ He was completely focused on the team.”
Before exiting, Hill recorded six catches for 67 yards. Through four games this season, he has totaled 21 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown.
Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler, is in his fourth season with the Dolphins after six years with the Kansas City Chiefs, where he won a Super Bowl in 2019. Widely regarded as one of the NFL’s most explosive playmakers, his status will be closely monitored as Miami awaits further test results.
