Dolphins coach on Tyreek Hill: ‘If his body lets him, he’ll play’
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s availability for Monday’s game against the host Los Angeles Rams is in question as he deals with a wrist injury, head coach Mike McDaniel said.
“He’s doing everything possible, he’s a competitor, so we’ll see how he responds. Just trying to get him to game day. He’s prepared, and if his body lets him, he’ll play, but we’ll see,” McDaniel told reporters on Saturday morning.
“All I know is that I know nothing, as Socrates would say. I’m optimistic that he’s going to do everything he can, but we’ll see. I wouldn’t say I was optimistic or pessimistic about it.”
Hill was added to the injury report on Friday after he failed to participate in practice.
Hill, 30, has 34 catches for 446 yards and a touchdown in eight games this season for the Dolphins (2-6).
The Dolphins did a three-year, $90 million restructuring to Hill’s contract in early August. His first two seasons for Miami were top-notch: a career-best 119 catches in both seasons, 1,710 receiving yards in 2022 and a league-best 1,799 last season, and a combined 20 touchdown receptions.
Hill is an eight-time Pro Bowler — beginning with six straight berths with the Kansas City Chiefs before being traded to the Dolphins after the 2021 season.
