Tyreek Hill Pushes for More Practice Reps After Struggles in Dolphins' Win
The star wide receiver attributed his drops and reduced production this season to missed practice time due to veteran rest days and a lingering wrist injury.
- Tyreek Hill dropped three passes, including two potential touchdowns, in the Dolphins' 29-17 win over the 49ers, citing a lack of practice reps with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa as a key factor.
- Hill has been dealing with a left wrist injury throughout the season, which has limited his participation in midweek practices, particularly on Wednesdays.
- Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa expressed willingness to adjust Hill's practice schedule to increase his reps and improve their on-field connection.
- Hill is on pace for his least productive season since 2019, with 834 receiving yards and six touchdowns so far, compared to career highs in the previous two seasons.
- McDaniel acknowledged the challenge of balancing rest and preparation for veteran players, emphasizing the importance of communication and adjustments to maximize performance.
