Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that "nothing is happening there" when discussing whether the Chiefs were in contact with free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. "I don't know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. I'm sure he's working hard on that part of it to get that straightened out," Reid said. The 31-year-old eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro dislocated his knee and tore multiple ligaments in Week 4 of last year, but he plans on continuing his playing career in 2026 as he heads into free agency. Hill was originally a fifth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2016 and spent the first six years of his career in KC, but as of right now, it doesn't sound like the Chiefs have interest in a reunion with the Cheetah, at least until they know more about his health. Hill's fantasy value going into his 11th NFL campaign will depend on his health and where he lands, but it sure would be intriguing to see him back in KC working with quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Free-agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said on his Instagram account that he wants to continue playing in 2026, according to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. "The Cheetah will be back," Hill wrote. The Dolphins released Hill on Monday and said that he "failed a physical" after suffering a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 of last year that required surgery to fix a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments. The 31-year-old's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said that Hill is "progressing well" in his recovery and wants to play again. Although Hill seems motivated to continue his playing career, it's unclear if he'll be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season this fall. Before he signs with a team on the open market, the soon-to-be 32-year-old is going to have to prove that he'll be ready to play at some point later this year. Hill was a Pro Bowler in each of his first eight NFL seasons, which included six 1,000-yard campaigns, but he's failed to reach that lofty mark the last two years and may not be the same explosive wideout upon his return from major knee surgery.

The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee), per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Hill's release will save the Dolphins over $20 million against the salary cap and signals a broader changing of the guard in Miami. Hill appeared in just four games in 2025, suffering a season-ending torn ACL and dislocated right knee in Week 4. Before getting injured, he recorded 21 catches for 265 yards and a touchdown on 29 targets. Entering his age-32 season, Hill is now set to become an unrestricted free agent. It's unclear how much the veteran wideout still has left in the tank, given his age and the fact that he'll be coming off a serious knee injury. Hill may not even be ready for the start of the 2026 campaign. However, Hill is one of the best wide receivers of the last decade, and he was still a productive player in his last full season in 2024, recording 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns on 123 targets. Depending on where he lands and his health status, Hill could still provide fantasy value in 2026.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) could be headed for a change of scenery during the NFL offseason. Hill tore his ACL during Week 4 of the 2025 campaign, finishing the year with just 21 catches, 265 yards, and one touchdown. The former superstar pass-catcher now faces an uncertain future in Miami as he works his way back to full health. It seems unlikely that Hill would flat-out retire at this point, so we do expect him to come back and contribute somewhere in 2026. However, he'll have plenty of suitors if Miami decides to trade or release him. His contract is structured to give the Dolphins a potential out this offseason, as a post-June 1 cut would create $35.2 million in cap space with $15.9 million in dead money. Almost 32 years old, Hill has passed the peak of his career, but his talent is still undeniable. He remains one of the fastest receivers in football, and he's just two years removed from an eight-year streak of making the Pro Bowl. He's also only two years out from a phenomenal 2023 campaign, during which he caught 119 passes for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns. It looks like Miami could be pursuing a soft reset this offseason with head coach Mike McDaniel gone, and Hill and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa potentially headed for new teams. Change can be difficult for any player, but a fresh start might be exactly what Hill needs as he returns from injury and looks to get back above 1,000 yards for the first time since 2023. He's a firm hold in dynasty leagues right now, as his 2026 fantasy value will depend on where he's playing and which quarterback is throwing passes to him.
Feb 15, 2026 5:11 AM EST
The Miami Herald's Barry Jackson writes that the Miami Dolphins "almost assuredly" will release wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) before mid-March. Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 and is due to make $29.9 million in 2026. However, none of that money is guaranteed until mid-March, when $11 million of it becomes guaranteed if he's on the team, in addition to a $5 million roster bonus. His contract carries a $51.9 million salary cap hit, so even if he wasn't injured, Hill wouldn't have returned to Miami on that deal. If the speedy wideout is released, as expected, his 2026 cap hit would drop from $51.9 million to $28.2 million. If he's cut after June 1, the team's cap hit would be just $15.9 million. Hill is entering his age-32 season in 2026, and after tearing multiple ligaments in his knee, his trademark speed could be affected going forward. Ultimately, his fantasy stock will depend on where he's playing next season, but his arrow is definitely pointing down.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill might've played this last snap with the organization. The Dolphins need to find ways to save money, and letting go of Hill is one potential path. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, releasing Hill before June 1 would save the Dolphins $23.65 million against their cap space. If the Dolphins were to release him post-June 1 date, they would save $36 million for the 2026 season. Hill is currently recovering from a season-ending knee injury that he suffered in Week 4. Before his injury, Hill averaged a solid 13.6 PPR points over the first three games of the campaign. He found the back of the end zone once and totaled over 100 yards back in Week 2. He enjoyed a dominant stretch with the Dolphins in 2022 and 2023, when he eclipsed 1,700 yards and caught 119 passes in each season. It's unclear how Hill will play following his serious injury, so cutting him might be the best route for this organization. Jaylen Waddle figures to remain the long-term WR1 in Miami, given that the team extended him to a three-year contract in May 2024.
Dec 21, 2025 8:57 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said on Terron Armstead's podcast that he's undecided if he wants to continue his playing career after suffering a season-ending left-knee injury on Sept. 29 against the New York Jets. "At the end of the day, I feel like that decision is based upon how I feel and where my mindset is at the moment," Hill said. "I'm happy with the career that I've had. I love playing football. I love it, but it takes a lot. It takes a lot on you mentally, it takes a lot on you physically." The 31-year-old had back-to-back 1,700-yard receiving seasons in his first two years in Miami, including a league-leading 1,799 yards in 2023. However, the five-time All-Pro had a down year in 2024 with 81 catches for 959 yards, his lowest totals since 2019. The Cheetah's contract with the Dolphins runs through next season, but at this point, it's unclear if he even wants to play football again.
Oct 24, 2025 1:32 PM EST
According to Jonathan Jones of CBS Sports, "league sources expect the (Miami) Dolphins to release (wide receiver Tyreek) Hill (knee) before the start of the next league year in March 2026." Hill suffered a devastating knee injury in Week 4 and is expected to miss the remainder of 2025. He's reportedly working towards being ready for Week 1 of the 2026 season, but it appears he'll be suiting up outside of Miami to do so. The 31-year-old has recorded over 11,000 receiving yards and 90 total touchdowns across his 10-year NFL career to this point. It remains to be seen how effective he will be coming off a serious knee injury.
Oct 4, 2025 3:05 PM EST
Following his season-ending knee injury suffered on Monday night in the win over the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) said he wants to continue his career with the organization after he returns from a dislocated knee and torn ACL in 2026, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Rosenhaus said that Hill "would love to stay with the Dolphins. We would love to get together with them after the season and figure something out that works for both sides, and continue his career here in Miami. There's no reason why we can't." Hill is due to make $29.9 million next year, so if the two sides get something worked out for him to return, it will almost certainly come on a restructured contract. If he's on the roster still in mid-March, he'll be guaranteed $11 million in 2026. Hill's contract carries a salary cap hit of over $50 million, so either way, a restructure was coming. With Hill done for 2025, Jaylen Waddle becomes Miami's No. 1 wideout, with Malik Washington moving to WR2 duties.
Oct 2, 2025 3:17 PM EST
The Miami Dolphins officially placed All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hill dislocated his knee in Monday night's win over the New York Jets and also tore multiple ligaments in his knee, including his ACL. His 2025 season is officially over, and although he's planning on being ready for the start of the 2026 season, it won't be a guarantee that he'll be ready for Week 1. The Cheetah had surgery on his knee on Tuesday. In redraft fantasy leagues, Hill can safely be dropped for reinforcements. In his absence, Jaylen Waddle will be Miami's new WR1, with Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also moving up the depth chart. Tight end Darren Waller, who had two touchdowns in his 2025 debut on Monday night, should also be heavily involved in the passing attack for Miami going forward with Hill done for the year.
Oct 1, 2025 12:28 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) required only one surgery and is targeting a return before the 2026 season, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Hill suffered a gruesome knee dislocation in Week 4's win over the Jets and was immediately taken to the hospital. Rosenhaus noted that Hill avoided nerve damage, blood flow complications, and broken bones, which is a positive sign for his long-term recovery. Hill remains under contract with Miami through 2026, though trade speculation had surfaced earlier this season. With Hill sidelined, Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane become the clear focal points of the passing game, while Malik Washington should also see an increased role and fantasy boost.
Sep 30, 2025 6:14 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) will undergo surgery on Monday after suffering a catastrophic knee injury on Monday Night Football against the Jets. The injury is so severe that not only will he clearly miss the rest of this season, but his availability for the start of the 2026 season is in jeopardy, according to NFL on CBS's Jonathan Jones. Hill was viewed as a potential trade candidate before the deadline, but now he'll miss the rest of the year and could have played his last snap for Miami. While he is still under contract with the Dolphins next year, there is a digestible out for the team next offseason. If the Dolphins decide to reset the roster, cutting Hill would be a clear place to start and let him be a free agent headed into next year. If he does hit the open market, he could sign before or after he completes his recovery. Hill will be 32 years old when the 2026 season starts, and he'll be looking to return from this major injury while coming off the worst two-year stretch of his career. Still, his raw speed and high upside make him a fascinating piece to watch this coming offseason.
Sep 30, 2025 9:29 AM EST
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) tore multiple ligaments in his knee, including his ACL, in addition to his dislocated knee during the victory over the New York Jets on Monday evening. Hill exited this contest in the third quarter after making a catch along the sideline. The star wideout was eventually carted off the field and taken to the hospital for further evaluation. Given this recent update, Hill is expected to miss the remainder of the season and potentially face a lengthy recovery timeline given the extent of these injuries. Before exiting, Hill caught all six of his targets for 67 yards. Through the first three games, Hill tallied 198 yards and a score on 15 catches. With Hill sidelined, Jaylen Waddle projects to be the team's clear WR1, while Malik Washington and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine will have an increased role behind him.
Sep 30, 2025 7:12 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) is believed to have suffered a dislocated knee during his team's Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Hill was carted off the field in the third quarter with an Aircast on his left leg. The 31-year-old recorded six catches for 67 yards before getting injured in Week 4. If Hill ends up missing significant time, Dolphins wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington would likely see an increase in targets, as would tight end Darren Waller. Miami running back De'Von Achane's pass-game usage could also be elevated to even further heights.
Sep 29, 2025 9:48 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) was forced to exit in the third quarter of his team's Week 4 matchup against the New York Jets with a left knee injury. Hill's leg buckled underneath him awkwardly, and he was carted off the field with an Aircast on. It's too early to say exactly what the injury is, but it certainly doesn't look good for the 31-year-old wideout. According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Hill has been ruled out and is being taken to a local hospital for imaging and evaluation. Hill will finish Week 4 with six catches for 67 yards. In his absence, Dolphins wide receivers Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington should both see an uptick in targets. Veteran tight end Darren Waller and running back De'Von Achane could also see increased usage in the Miami passing game.
Sep 29, 2025 9:12 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has dealt with numerous off-field issues and rumors over the last year, and his on-field production has been inconsistent as well. He'll look to put all that behind him with a big game against the Jets this Monday night, and hopefully help his team get its first win of the season. Last year, Hill had 10 catches for 115 yards and a touchdown in his first matchup with the Jets before only snagging two catches for 20 yards in the regular season finale in the rematch. This year, he and Tua Tagovailoa have struggled to get on the same page, leaving some big plays on the field. He has had solid fantasy games the last two weeks, posting 109 yards against the Patriots before 49 yards with a touchdown against the Bills last Thursday. Hill brings a very high ceiling but is a volatile play due to his team's struggles. He's RotoBaller's WR19 this week, indicating he's a WR2 that should still be started in most formats.
Sep 28, 2025 7:08 AM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (personal) doesn't have an injury designation for Monday's Week 4 contest against the New York Jets. Hill was absent from Saturday's practice due to personal reasons, but that won't hold him out of Monday's game. Through three games, Hill has 15 receptions for 198 yards and one touchdown, which is certainly a less than stellar beginning to the season. Despite that, Hill remains a must-start fantasy option given his potential. He also has a plus matchup against a struggling Jets secondary. Fantasy managers should continue to ride with Hill in Week 4.
Sep 27, 2025 6:18 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (personal) was not at practice on Saturday, but is expected to play in his team's Week matchup against the New York Jets on Monday night, according to Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post. Hill has recorded 15 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown on 23 targets through his first three games of 2025. If Hill were to miss Week 4, Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle and running back De'Von Achane would likely see an uptick in targets. Assuming Hill is able to suit up, he profiles as a solid fantasy WR2 in Week 4 against the Jets.
Sep 27, 2025 12:47 PM EST
NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe said, based on people he's talked to, that a trade of Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is not a "consideration at this stage." There have been rumors floating around early this year that the Cheetah is a prime trade candidate, especially if the Dolphins continue to flounder. The 31-year-old eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro bounced back in a Week 2 loss to the New England Patriots with a 100-yard effort on six catches, but this is the first time in his career in which he has not found the end zone in the first two weeks. Hill expressed a desire to be elsewhere after the Week 18 regular-season finale in 2024, which alienated him a bit with his teammates. His chemistry with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a work in progress, and the two have struggled to hook up for big gains down the field in the last year-plus. Hill's performance in Week 2 was a good sign, but it remains to be seen if that will continue if he stays in Miami.
Sep 18, 2025 8:58 PM EST
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill bounced back with a better Week 2 against the Patriots, and he could be in for more targets in Week 3, depending on the status of Jaylen Waddle (shoulder, questionable). Hill had only four catches for 40 yards in Week 1 against the Colts, but looked much more explosive with six catches for 109 yards in Week 2 against New England. He still only had seven targets in that much-better game, and he could have ended up with even better totals if Tua Tagovailoa hadn't missed him in the second half when he was open deep down the field. With the Dolphins desperate for a win and potentially short-handed on playmakers, Hill could be set up for a big workload in Week 3. He's in a tough matchup against the Bills, but Buffalo let Zay Flowers go off in Week 1. Hill brings boom-or-bust potential in Week 3, and he's the WR25 in the RotoBaller rankings, setting him up as a strong flex option or WR3.
