Overview

• Hill missed Wednesday’s practice with an oblique injury that the Dolphins have not publicly defined in terms of nature or severity.
• He took limited reps on the sideline during Thursday’s session at the Bears’ facility and joined teammates for a recreational bowling outing.
• Head coach Mike McDaniel declined to address the injury’s seriousness or provide a timeframe for Hill’s return to full practice.
• Analysts suggest the setback could intensify debate over trading Hill to free up cap space and secure value before any further performance decline.
• Despite his injury, Hill has shown renewed leadership by intervening to calm a scuffle in joint practice and rebuilding rapport with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
