Dolphins Place Tyreek Hill on Season-Ending IR After Successful Knee Surgery

Miami now faces a March 2026 decision on guarantees tied to his deal.

Overview

  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus said surgeons repaired all ligament damage in one procedure with no nerve or blood-flow issues or broken bones, and the goal is a 2026 return.
  • Tyreek Hill posted “Surgery went great” and, per coach Mike McDaniel, remained in the hospital overnight as a precaution.
  • Miami brought back veteran receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. for depth and will look to redistribute targets to Jaylen Waddle and tight end Darren Waller.
  • Hill’s injury occurred in the third quarter against the Jets; trainers applied an air cast before he was carted off and transported by ambulance.
  • None of Hill’s 2026 salary is guaranteed, but an $11 million injury guarantee and a $5 million roster bonus could vest if he is on the roster in March, according to reporting.
