Overview
- Tyreek Hill sustained a dislocated left knee with multiple ligament tears, including the ACL, underwent surgery this week, and visited the facility Friday to address teammates, according to coach Mike McDaniel.
- Hill posted that his procedure "went great" and shared video of himself taking steps with a walker during early rehabilitation.
- League sources cited by CBS Sports say Miami is expected to release Hill before March 2026 to avoid $16 million vesting on the third day of the league year, with a non‑guaranteed $29.9 million base otherwise scheduled.
- Independent medical observers pointed to gait suggesting possible peroneal nerve involvement that could lengthen recovery, while agent Drew Rosenhaus has said Hill has no nerve damage and is aiming for a Week 1 return in 2026.
- With Hill out for 2025, Jaylen Waddle takes the lead receiving role and Darren Waller has earned increased usage after a two‑touchdown debut, with Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook‑Ikhine and Dee Eskridge expected to see more opportunities.
