Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is going to be out of action for a while.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Hill underwent surgery to repair ligament damage in his wrist, head coach Mike McDaniel announced Tuesday.
McDaniels added that Hill will be out for most of the offseason as he recovers.
He further stated that, per NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, the plan is for Hill to resume catching drills near the start of training camp.
The eight-time Pro Bowler went viral this week, showing a video on social media earlier this week where you could not only see his new haircut but also a cast on his left wrist.
Tyreek Hill battled a wrist injury for much of the 2024 season but appeared in all 17 games. It still wasn’t enough to help the Dolphins into the playoffs.
Last season, Hill had 81 receptions for 959 yards and six touchdowns. Those numbers were his lowest marks since 2019.
No word has been stated on whether the five-time first-team All-Pro will still compete in a race against Olympic gold medalist Noah Lyles.
Dolphins ‘Do Not Plan to Trade’ WR Tyreek Hill After Apology
Tyreek recently expressed a desire to remain with Miami after previously suggesting he wanted to be traded following the 2024 campaign.
The 30-year-old apologized for his past comments as he cited frustration with how the season went. Hill missed the playoffs for the first time in his career.
The Dolphins finished with a record 8-9.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Sunday that the Dolphins “do not plan to trade” Hill this offseason.
“It’s early; it’s always possible somebody makes the type of offer they can’t refuse, but it sounds like right now everything is tracking toward the Cheetah staying in South Beach,” he added.
