Things took a sour turn on Monday night when Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill went down with a brutal knee injury.
“Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill has torn multiple ligaments in his dislocated knee, including his ACL, ending his season and giving him a long road ahead for 2026, source says. He’ll have surgery today to repair the significant injury,” reported NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Rapoport then followed up with some unfortunate news on the reality of the situation.
“With surgery today, it’s possible that Tyreek Hill will undergo additional surgeries. There is no guarantee he’ll be ready for 2026. None of his 2026 salary is guaranteed now, but $11M (of $29.9M) becomes fully guaranteed if he’s on the roster in March, plus a $5M roster bonus.”
However, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, revealed that surgery went well and that there are no plans for him to retire.
“Went very well according to his doctors,” Rosenhaus said. “It’s about rehab and he will play next season. The realistic goal is the start of the season.”
It’ll be interesting to see what’s next for Hill once he recovers from Monday night’s gruesome injury. Hopefully, he makes a full recovery and returns to being one of the league’s top downfield threats.
