Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome-looking leg injury in the second half of his team’s 27-21 win over the New York Jets during Week 4.
Hill’s injury occurred at the end of a 10-yard completion from Tua Tagovailoa to the veteran receiver. Hill was tackled by a Jets defender while going out of bounds, and his leg was twisted in the process.
The ESPN broadcast briefly showed Hill lying on the ground, and it appeared his knee was facing the wrong direction.
Hill was quickly tended to by medical staffers from both the Dolphins and the Jets. ESPN sideline reporter Katie George reported the medical personnel ‘cut off Hill’s cleat’ and the tape surrounding his ankle before putting his leg into a stabilizer.
Hill’s mother also came down to the field to console her son, and gave him ‘a kiss on the forehead,’ according to George.
Hill was then loaded onto a cart and taken off the field. He was seen smiling as he left the field.
Tyreek Hill injury update
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel announced during his postgame news conference Monday that Hill had suffered a knee dislocation. The 42-year-old coach did not provide any additional information about Hill’s injury.
‘That’s what I know about it, ‘ McDaniel said. ‘I’m sure I’ll be given more information tomorrow.’
McDaniel noted Hill was ‘in the best spirits of any player’ he had seen down on the field injured.
‘He immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good. Just make sure the guys get this win,” McDaniel said Hill told him. ‘You know, he was focused on the team.’
While McDaniel didn’t provide an update on Hill’s recovery timeline, NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe noted Hill’s injury would cost him the remainder of the 2025 season if an MRI confirms a dislocated knee.
The Dolphins announced shortly after Hill left the game he had been ruled out for the remainder of the contest because of a knee injury.
Miami also reported Hill was being taken to a local hospital for ‘imaging, evaluation and observation.’
ESPN’s broadcast showed Hill being taken out of the stadium in a wheelchair. He had a heavy brace on his left leg while a medical staffer was helping to hold up his foot.
