Tyreek Hill Has Season-Ending Knee Surgery as Dolphins Pivot to Replace Production

His agent says all damage was fixed in one procedure with rehab aimed at a 2026 season start.

Overview

  • Imaging confirmed a dislocated left knee with multiple ligament tears, including the ACL, after Hill was placed in an air cast, carted off and taken by ambulance to a Miami hospital.
  • Agent Drew Rosenhaus said the surgery "went very well," all repairs were completed in one operation and no additional procedure is expected, with the target of returning at the start of 2026.
  • Head coach Mike McDaniel outlined a sum‑of‑the‑parts approach featuring Jaylen Waddle, Darren Waller and other receivers, with Miami exploring external additions and reported interest in bringing back Cedrick Wilson Jr.
  • Hill shared a pre‑surgery message from his hospital bed thanking fans and asking for prayers, and he ends 2025 with 21 catches for 265 yards and one touchdown through four games.
  • Contract factors loom next March, with reports noting no guarantees on his 2026 base salary but an $11 million injury guarantee and a $5 million roster bonus that could shape Miami’s decision.
