Overview
- Hill posted on X this week that “I think I’m ready for some cold weather,” following a Sept. 28 message that it was “almost time to get off the couch and get to work,” fueling talk that a return could be near.
- The wide receiver remains unsigned and is rehabbing a severe left-knee dislocation with multiple ligament tears and a torn ACL he suffered in September 2025.
- Agent Drew Rosenhaus and medical advisers have advised waiting until around October for on-field work, and Rosenhaus says multiple teams have already made inquiries about Hill’s availability.
- Analysts and former players have publicly pushed landing spots such as the Kansas City Chiefs and Green Bay Packers, but any team would require medical clearance and is likely to prefer short-term or heavily incentivized contract terms.
- Hill’s elite career résumé and recent rehab footage explain broad interest, and a midseason signing could shift roster plans for contenders while shaping Hill’s path to finish his comeback.
