Tyreek Hill News
Friday, June 12, 5:13 AM
Five-time All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill has not played in an NFL game in almost nine months, and with minicamps around the league concluding ahead of the annual summer break, the 10-year veteran remains unsigned. Hill suffered a severe leg injury that left him with multiple ligament tears and a dislocated knee, and it does not seem as if he's ready to join a team anytime soon. Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, recently spoke with Miami-based sportscaster Josh Moser and told him that Hill "is still in the midst of a rigorous recovery and rehab", adding that there is no set timetable for his return. Hill, who has racked up more than 12,000 yards and 90 touchdowns in his 10-year career, has a goal of earning the Comeback Player of the Year Award, according to Rosenhaus, but should he return for an 11th season, it sounds as if it could come as a mid-season signing rather than a training camp pickup. At 32 years old, Hill has fallen to RotoBaller's dynasty WR82.

Austin Ekeler News
Thursday, April 30, 9:22 AM
Veteran free-agent running back Austin Ekeler (Achilles) is 100% fully medically cleared for all football activities after suffering a torn right Achilles last September against the Green Bay Packers, a league source told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Ekeler intends to play in 2026 and is expected to draw plenty of interest. The 30-year-old was one of the premier pass-catching backs in the NFL in his seven seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers before he signed a two-year deal with the Washington Commanders before the 2024 season. He appeared in 12 games (six starts) for Washington in 2024, carrying the ball 77 times for 367 yards and four touchdowns while catching 35 passes for 366 receiving yards. Ekeler missed some time due to a concussion that year before playing in just two games in 2025 before tearing his Achilles. Ekeler might not be the same shifty back in space after his season-ending injury, but he could still give a team some solid pass-catching depth out of the backfield as he nears the end of his career.
