10:00pm: It sounds like Tyreek Hill won’t call in a career following his devastating knee injury. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero that his client intends to play in 2026.
“Tyreek’s surgery went very well,” Rosenhaus said. “Fortunately everything was done with one procedure. The goal is for Tyreek to be ready for the start of next season.”
8:55am: It was confirmed after last night’s game that Tyreek Hill suffered a dislocated knee on the play which resulted in him carted off the field. Further testing took place overnight while he was hospitalized. 
Hill’s injuries consist of more than the dislocated knee. Multiple ligaments were also torn, including his ACL, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports. Hill remains in hospital and is scheduled to undergo surgery later today. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network adds further procedures could prove to be necessary given the extent of the damage.
Especially if multiple surgeries wind up taking place, Hill’s recovery timeline will be longer than the one associated with a typical ACL tear. At this point, the All-Pro’s availability for the 2026 season is unclear. At a minimum, Hill will be sidelined for the remainder of the current campaign. As a result, Monday’s game may end up representing his final one as a Dolphin.
Hill remains under contract through 2026, but he is owed a $29.9MM base salary which is not guaranteed for that season. With a scheduled cap hit of $51.9MM, an adjustment of some kind to his contract was widely expected in the event he remained with Miami. In the case of a trade, the 31-year-old would have been considered a rental given the ability of an acquiring team to move on after the season. The Dolphins may have been able to generate a Day 2 pick in return for Hill had a trade taken place in the next few weeks, but that is obviously a moot point now.
Last night’s win allowed Miami to improve to 1-3 on the season. The team’s offense enjoyed a second straight strong showing on the ground, but the Dolphins recorded just 177 passing yards against the Jets. Miami’s ability to produce through the air will be tested through the remainder of the campaign with Hill (who led the NFL in receiving yards in 2023) unavailable. Jaylen Waddle will be counted on to serve as a focal point in that regard, with a mix of veterans (Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, D’Wayne Eskridge) and 2024 draftees (Malik Washington, Tahj Washington) in place as depth options at the receiver position.
Reaching the playoffs can be considered an unlikely feat at this point given the Dolphins’ record, but losing Hill will make the task of qualifying for the postseason more challenging. Attention will turn to the progress of his recovery and, later, the question of how Miami will handle his future.
With his age, this might be it. Heck of a career if so.
Yeah probably comes back and signs a cheap deal at 33 with a team that goes deep into the playoffs. I’m sure some team would take a pass as long as he works at getting back. No way Miami brings him back at that cap hit.
Worth noting that Odell Beckham is only about 16 months older than Tyreek and his career was essentially done at age 29 after just the ACL tear. Hill’s injury is more severe and he’s even more reliant on speed.
Beckham tore his Achilles, not his ACL. Happened in a Super Bowl that his team won.
“Beckham tore his Achilles, not his ACL.”
No idea where you’re getting this info from but he tore his ACL in the Super Bowl. Google it. OBJ has never torn his Achilles.
Just so you’re clear, Chuckster, you can watch the injury and see him grab his knee. Unless OBJ has a magic Achilles that goes all the way up to his knee:

2 different people. There’s pitchers that don’t come back from Tommy John and there’s pitchers that come back from 2 Tommy John surgeries
Now he can focus on his passion, domestic abuse!
Way to kick him when he’s down. Ironically.
As a player who relied on speed and quickness, this injury is devastating to say the least. Given his age and his reliance on speed and quickness, as I’ve said, and the rehab will be at least a year, if not more, I’d say his career is pretty much over. Don’t be like OBJ and try and hold on and bounce from team to team until you look pathetic. Take your money and retire after this year. Bit he won’t.
He should retire when he wants
What a shame, couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy
More like Sleezy than Steezy
OBJ 2.0
Why was his so excited to be carted off the field? Guy was celebrating like he won big at the roulette table.
Because i don’t think the dude likes his team, wants to play there or enjoys football. I think he likes the money that comes with it.
Hill was grimacing in pain. You’d be doing likewise if you suddenly had a dislocated knee.
I took it that he was trying to be outwardly positive about his situation–to put on a brave face–as opposed what he undoubtedly felt inside.
Him cheering for his own injury was wild.
He definitely won’t be fast enough to compete with Noah Lyles, who would have smoked him anyway, post-recovery.
Get ready for a population explosion
He had a good run.
Of hitting women? Somehow I think his abusive days aren’t over yet.
Women can rest easy now that the domestic abuse will subside.
Or worst case they can just kick him in the knee now.
How about hill and ayiuk trade swap.would you guys do that?
I’d have to see what Madden cheats are available 🙂
The mouth-breathers screamed “tear out the carpet” after Malik Nabers tore his ACL on Sunday. These people looked the other way when Hill dislocated his knee on a grass surface on a Monday night.
Double your standard, double your fun!
All the games could be played on bubble wrap surfaces and injuries would still occur.
Coming back from an ACL tear and dislocated knee at 34…I doubt many people will share his agents optimism.
Well, Rosenhaus knows that Hill will get another contract. It obviously won’t be high end, but guys like Hill always have a team try to recapture some of their earlier form on comeback contracts before they end their careers. I’d be surprised if this were to be Hill’s last game, unless something else happens off the field that interferes with his availability.
Dolphins are gonna cut him after the season.
If he comes back, its gonna be as a free agent, over the hill, coming off injury, with a history if being a bad guy.
Chiefs written all over it.
Id welcome that!
Same.
I dont think he will be back till 2027.
