Tyreek Hill, the Miami Dolphins WR, might be dealing with a huge missed call. That’s because he is coming off a horrific knee injury in the team’s recent game against the New York Jets. This was the moment that the incident occurred at 13:21 3Q. Hill caught a 10-yard pass from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa that crossed the field towards the sideline. Immediately after the play, he was hurriedly carried off the field with an air cast on his leg.
Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro, is in his fourth season with the Dolphins after spending his first six years with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was an essential contributor to the Chiefs’ first Super Bowl title in 50 years, following the 2019 season. This season, Hill has pulled out all the stops. He has caught 21 passes, accumulated 265 yards and registered one touchdown in a limited four-game sample. Before his injury, he had already registered six catches for 67 yards and a touchdown against the Jets before his injury.

Though the nature of his injury was frightening, Hill’s spirits were high as he was carted off field. Witnesses reported that he clapped his hands exultantly, with violence and fury and affirmation, three times and smiled and laughed as he greeted the gathered. Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel lauded Hill’s authenticity in this tough situation.
“He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I’ve ever – it’s just such a terrible experience when you go out and see guys when they have issues like that. But he immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good. Just make sure the guys get this win.’ He was focused on the team.” – Mike McDaniel
After exiting the contest, Hill was subsequently ruled out. He was subsequently transferred to a local hospital for imaging and neurosurgical evaluation. The Dolphins will be hoping for the best with any news that comes in on Hill’s status. Ever since joining the team, he’s turned into the missing piece to their offensive puzzle.
