Overview

  • Tyreek Hill recently underwent his second wrist surgery this offseason to remove screws placed during an earlier ligament-repair procedure.
  • The injury originated during a joint practice with the Washington Commanders in August 2024, with doctors initially recommending season-ending surgery, which Hill chose to delay.
  • Hill's decision to play through the torn ligament contributed to his lowest production since joining the Dolphins: 81 catches for 959 yards and eight touchdowns.
  • Coach Mike McDaniel previously projected Hill to resume football activities by summer, but his recovery timeline could impact participation in OTAs, minicamp, and preseason sessions.
  • Hill's absence during key offseason activities may challenge the Dolphins' efforts to build chemistry within their offense, including integrating new roster additions.
