Dolphins To Sign Cedrick Wilson Jr. After Tyreek Hill’s Season-Ending Knee Injury

Coach Mike McDaniel said the knee dislocation damaged multiple ligaments including the ACL, raising doubt about Hill’s 2026 timeline.

Overview

  • Miami plans to add Cedrick Wilson Jr. from the Saints’ practice squad, according to NFL Network reporting.
  • Wilson returns after a 2022–23 Dolphins stint with 34 receptions for 432 yards and three touchdowns across 30 games.
  • Jaylen Waddle becomes the primary target, with Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Malik Washington, D’Wayne Eskridge and Tahj Washington set for expanded roles.
  • Reports indicate Hill could also miss 2026, and his $29.9 million base salary for that year is non‑guaranteed, giving Miami flexibility.
  • The Dolphins are 1–3 and face the Panthers in Week 5 as they search for short-term answers at wide receiver.
