Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said he was unsure if wide receivers Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle (undisclosed) will take part in joint practices with the Detroit Lions this week and called them both "day-to-day." Both Hill and Waddle didn't play in the preseason opener on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, but they are reportedly dealing with minor injuries and should be just fine for the Week 1 regular-season opener in early September. Still, they are both losing out on valuable repetitions this summer with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as Miami's offense looks to bounce back in 2025. Don't be surprised if the Dolphins hold out Hill and Waddle for the second preseason game this Saturday against Detroit. With both receivers sidelined, it will give more opportunities to Malik Washington, Erik Ezukanma, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge.

Miami Dolphins wide receivers Tyreek Hill (oblique) and Jaylen Waddle were not dressed for pre-game warmups and are not expected to play in the team's preseason opener on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Hill dealt with a wrist injury pretty much all of last season and has been tending to an oblique injury during training camp. The injury isn't believed to be very serious, but it's worth watching for the 31-year-old veteran pass-catcher after he put up an 81-959-6 line in 2024, which was disappointing by his standards. With Miami's top two receivers sitting this one out, Malik Washington, Erik Ezukanma, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Dee Eskridge and others will see more opportunities in the preseason opener.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (oblique) was present but not suited up at Friday's practice as he manages an oblique injury, per head coach Mike McDaniel. The team is exercising caution with the star wideout, and Hill is expected to return soon as he ramps up for Week 1. In his absence, Malik Washington, Erik Ezukanma, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine should see increased reps with the first team. Hill is looking to bounce back from a relatively down 2024 season, where he totaled 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns, well below his typical production.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury, according to Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post. Schad notes that Hill "mostly worked on lower-body stretching and sprinting" and was "moving well." Hill played through a wrist injury in 2024 that may have affected his performance, but it doesn't seem as though the injury that caused him to miss practice earlier this week is wrist-related. The 31-year-old played all 17 games for Miami last season but failed to reach 100 catches and 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2020. Hill profiles as a fringe WR1 with upside for fantasy managers heading into 2025.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (undisclosed) is not at Wednesday's practice due to an undisclosed injury. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status in case this injury begins to linger. However, for the time being, Hill should be viewed as day-to-day. During the offseason, Hill underwent wrist surgery, but he has expressed he was fully healthy at the start of camp. Last season, the 31-year-old had a down year to his standard as he caught just 959 yards and six touchdowns on 81 receptions. However, in 2022 and 2023, Hill posted back-to-back 1,700+ yard campaigns serving as the top target in the Miami passing attack. Despite his age struggles last season, Hill is worth a look as a WR2 with upside as he should continue to be Tua Tagovailoa's top target throughout 2025.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that he didn't fully understand the offense the first three years he was in town, according to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. It's a bit unbelievable, but it didn't stop the Cheetah from leading the league with 1,799 receiving yards, 13 touchdowns and 112.4 yards per game in 2023. The speedy 31-year-old dealt with a wrist injury all of last year and also wasn't helped by the fact that quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missed more time with a head injury. As a result, Hill fell short of the 1,000-yard mark (959 yards) for the first time since 2019 as Miami's offense was more dink-and-dunk than explosive. His fantasy stock entering 2025 is down as a result, especially given Tua's shaky injury history. However, the five-time All-Pro seems very motivated and could easily bounce back if Tagovailoa stays on the field. He's ranked at RotoBaller as the WR12.
Aug 1, 2025 5:52 PM EST
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa said that wide receiver Tyreek Hill rebuilding a relationship with him and the team is a "work in progress" after Hill said "I'm out" following the Week 18 regular-season finale last year. "When you say something like that you don't just come back with 'My bad.' You gotta work that relationship up. He is working on himself," Tagovailoa said. Hill commented on Tuesday saying that he's a changed man and motivated to be at his best in 2025. The Cheetah is saying the right things, but there could still be a rift between him and the rest of the club after he essentially quit on them late last season. Tua, Hill and the rest of the Dolphins are certainly capable of bouncing back after a disappointing 2024 campaign, but it will all depend on whether Tagovailoa can keep him out of harm's way.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) is fully recovered from the wrist injury that bothered him in 2024 and lost weight over the offseason, according to Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network. The 31-year-old is coming off a down season by his lofty standards. In 17 games, he recorded 81 catches for 959 yards and 6 touchdowns. His yards-per-route-run dropped from 3.96 yards in 2023 to 1.98 yards in 2024. Before 2024, Hill had recorded at least 1,200 yards receiving in four consecutive seasons. His main target competition in Miami's wide receiver room is Jaylen Waddle, who is looking for a bounce-back season of his own. The Dolphins also heavily featured running back Devon Achane in the passing game last season, which cut into the workload for both Miami receivers. Hill could easily rebound to form now that he's back to full health, but he's a relatively risky selection in fantasy due to his age.
Jul 22, 2025 9:23 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) divulged to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques that he's shifted his mentality heading into 2025. "I want to see what it looks like when I just focus on football, on myself and family," Hill said Tuesday. "I feel like I haven't given the best version of Tyreek my whole entire career." They're encouraging words from the 31-year-old, who is still battling back from a wrist injury he suffered upon his Week 1 arrest in 2024. The wrist ailment, among other offensive troubles, shares the blame for his massive dip in production, from 1,799 yards the season prior to 959 yards. That Hill's wrist is still an issue warrants some monitoring, but tight end Jonnu Smith's departure should signify that the Fins will be more willing to rip it downfield in the upcoming season. He's currently a top 30 pick in ADP, and a bounceback campaign isn't out of the cards.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) started catching passes during individual drills at mandatory minicamp on Tuesday for the first time since having offseason wrist surgery, according to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. Hill is just starting to get comfortable catching again, but it's a step in the right direction, and the Dolphins hope he's able to resume team drills in training camp this summer. The 31-year-old speedy wideout had multiple surgeries on a wrist injury that bothered him throughout the 2024 season, although he didn't miss any games because of it. Miami's offense wasn't the same explosive unit we saw in previous seasons, and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's injuries didn't help. The Cheetah is now more of a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target after going for an 81-959-6 line in 17 starts in 2024. RotoBaller has the five-time All-Pro ranked as the No. 14 fantasy wideout.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) will not be cleared to catch passes until August. The 31-year-old wideout is working his way back from wrist surgery he underwent earlier in the offseason. This wrist injury bothered Hill at times during the 2024 campaign, but he did not miss any games. Last season, Hill had a disappointing campaign by his standards as he tallied just 959 yards and six scores on 81 receptions. Hill saw his production drop with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa missing time with a concussion. During his first two seasons in Miami, Hill was an elite wideout in fantasy as he tallied at least 1,700 yards per season and found the back of the end zone 21 total times. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression during training in camp, in case he faces any setbacks. If Hill were to miss time with this injury, fantasy managers should expect Jaylen Waddle and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, who the team acquired in free agency, to operate as the top wideouts. Even though he had a down season in 2024, given his elite speed, Hill should be well-positioned to return to form in 2025, provided he remains fully healthy.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) has not started catching the ball yet during offseason workouts, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Outside of catching balls, Hill is taking part in most of the drills during organized team activities. The 31-year-old All-Pro speedster had two surgeries on his left wrist this offseason but has also been bothered by his right wrist. Miami's passing attack suffered in 2024, with Hill falling short of the 1,000-yard mark for the first time since 2019, and he also tied his career-low with six receiving touchdowns in 17 starts. The five-time All-Pro and eight-time Pro Bowl may never get back to 1,700 receiving yards like he did in 2022 and 2023, but he could be a nice value pick in fantasy drafts if both he and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy in 2025. Hill is currently on the WR1/WR2 borderline.
May 28, 2025 10:46 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) announced on social media that he had a second surgery on his wrist that "went amazing," according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hill's second procedure was part of his original plan and was to have screws removed from his left wrist, and the Cheetah's timeline for a return won't change. The 31-year-old initially injured his wrist in a training camp practice in August but never missed a game because of it in 2024, ultimately finishing with a disappointing 81-959-6 line in 17 starts after leading the league with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns in 2023. It was the first time that Hill hasn't been named a Pro Bowler in his nine-year NFL career. He is going to miss most of the team's offseason work but should be ready come training camp and the regular season. Hill could bounce back as a high-end WR1 in fantasy, but quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's concussion history makes the speedy wideout more volatile.
May 7, 2025 9:01 PM EST
Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said that the team isn't pursuing a trade of All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and no team has called them attempting to trade for Hill. Grier joked that if a team called to offer the Dolphins two first-round picks for Hill, they'd maybe consider it. Hill, who had a disappointing 2024 campaign by his standards while battling through a left-wrist injury that required surgery, insinuated he'd be heading out of town after the season finale last year. However, he later went back on his statements and said he made them out of frustration after missing the playoffs. The 31-year-old speedster could easily bounce back in 2025 with better health, unfortunately his fantasy value is also tied to oft-injured quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. The eight-time Pro Bowler finished shy of 1,000 receiving yards last year for the first time since 2019, when he played in just 12 games in KC.

Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team reports that per Sunny Isles Police Department, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has not committed a crime, and the investigation of a domestic incident involving him has already been closed. The veteran was apparently engaged in some domestic dispute on Wednesday with his wife at their high-rise condominium in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Exactly what occurred is unclear, but the police were called after Hill reportedly threw a laptop. Fortunately, the 31-year-old was able to avoid trouble, as this would be just another incident in a string of off-the-field issues for him dating back to last year. After a down 2024, Hill's price in fantasy drafts this summer should be lower than in years past. It's possible he's lost a step at his age, but a productive season is very much still in his range of outcomes.
Apr 9, 2025 7:18 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team has wide receiver Tyreek Hill are fully planning on moving forward together for the 2025 season at this time, but the head coach also noted that things happen in the NFL. Hill pulled himself from the Week 18 regular-season finale against the New York Jets and said after the game that, "I'm out." The 31-year-old speedy wideout later went back on his words and said, "I don't want to go nowhere." The Cheetah could have just been voicing his frustrations in a disappointing season for the Dolphins in which he battled a wrist injury all year. Hill later had surgery on his wrist to fix a ligament issue, but he's expected to be fully healed for the start of the 2025 campaign. Hill took a fall in fantasy, but it didn't help that QB Tua Tagovailoa missed six games. He's still a WR1 in fantasy, but with the injury risk surrounding Tua, Hill is no longer a lock as a high-end WR1.
Mar 31, 2025 12:19 PM EST
Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Tuesday that wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) underwent surgery on his left wrist this offseason to fix a ligament issue, which will keep him out for most of the offseason. The 30-year-old Cheetah dealt with his wrist injury for much of last season, which helps explain some of his drop in production, but he never actually missed a game because of it. While he won't take part in the majority of offseason workouts, Hill should be ready to go for training camp in the summer. Hill was upset after the Week 18 regular-season finale and said he wanted out of Miami, but he has since toned down that stance and said he was merely frustrated over the team's disappointing 2024 campaign that ended without a playoff appearance. The five-time All-Pro fell short of 1,000 receiving yards for just the third time in his nine NFL seasons in 2024 but could be a nice value pick in fantasy this fall.
Feb 25, 2025 1:08 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has gone back on comments that he made after the team's Week 18 loss to the division-rival New York Jets in which he said, "I'm out," and "it was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career." "I'm taking full accountability for what I said. I'm gonna come back next year. I wanna stay with the Dolphins," Hill said on NBC Sports' Pro Football Talk during Super Bowl week. General manager Chris Grier said Hill never asked for a trade. The 30-year-old burner was clearly upset in the moment over a disappointing season in which the Dolphins missed the playoffs and he fell shy of 1,000 yards receiving for the first time since 2019. Hill has two years left on his current deal and should be back in South Beach in 2025 as he looks to bounce back after dealing with a nagging wrist injury pretty much all year.
Feb 7, 2025 5:40 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been in the headlines after hinting toward wanting to be traded following the team's Week 18 loss to the New York Jets. Hill fell under 1,000 receiving yards in 2024 for the first time since 2019, and this year is the first time he has missed the playoffs since entering the NFL. However, the team has since said Hill has not requested a trade. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill played through a severe wrist injury all year and is committed to Miami after an "excellent" meeting with general manager Chris Grier and head coach Mike McDaniel. It surely sounds like Hill will play for the Dolphins in 2025, and he could have a bounce-back campaign if he and Tua Tagovailoa can stay healthy.
Jan 9, 2025 2:18 PM EST
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have cleared the air with wide receiver Tyreek Hill, and the eight-time Pro Bowler did not formally request a trade. Following the Week 18 loss to the New York Jets, Hill said "I just gotta do what's best for me and my family. If that's here or wherever the case may be...I'm out. At the end of the day, I need to do what's best for my career." This certainly sounded like the 30-year-old was set to try to force his way out of Miami after he missed the playoffs for the first time in his career. Hill posted 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns this season while playing much of the year without quarterback Tua Tagovailoa. Surely, this story has more developments to unfold, so fantasy managers and NFL fans should stay tuned.
