Hill secured 12 of 19 targets for 100 yards across 16 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. Hill managed to improve upon his rookie year receiving line of 6-48-0 (on nine targets) despite being held without a catch in Miami's final four games of the regular season. He'll work to continue his development during the 2025 campaign, the final year of his contract with the team.

Hill secured 12 of 19 targets for 100 yards across 16 regular-season appearances with the Dolphins in 2024. Hill managed to improve upon his rookie year receiving line of 6-48-0 (on nine targets) despite being held without a catch in Miami's final four games of the regular season. He'll work to continue his development during the 2025 campaign, the final year of his contract with the team.
Hill caught two of his three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 34-19 win versus the Raiders. While it was a fine game for him, the difference in role between Hill and teammate Jonnu Smith could not have been more clear in Week 11, with the latter playing 52 offensive snaps to Hill's 36 and drawing eight targets to Hill's three. As long as Smith remains available, Hill's path to fantasy relevance is basically nonexistent.
Hill (shoulder) was a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Raiders, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill was limited in Thursday's practice due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to practice without restrictions Friday and will be good to go for Week 11. Hill has mostly been utilized as an extra blocker while serving as the Dolphins' No. 2 tight end behind starter Jonnu Smith.
Hill (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Thursday's practice, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill played through a shoulder injury during Monday's win over the Rams, logging 39 total snaps (29 on offense, 10 on special teams) while failing to haul in his lone target. He was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday's estimated report, but he's still working through a shoulder issue that sidelined him during the Dolphins' Week 9 loss to the Bills. If Hill is able to practice again Friday, he should have a good chance at playing Sunday versus the Raiders.
Hill (shoulder) was a full practice participant Saturday and carries no injury designation into Monday's game against the Rams, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Hill injured his shoulder in Week 8 against Arizona, which forced him to be sidelined against the Bills in Week 9. He opened this week with consecutive limited practice sessions, but he finished off strong Saturday with a full practice and will suit up Monday. Hill has logged seven catches (on 10 targets) for 45 yards through seven regular-season games while operating as the Dolphins' No. 2 tight end behind Jonnu Smith.
Hill (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill suffered a shoulder injury in Week 8 against the Cardinals. He was unable to practice all of last week and was sidelined for this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Bills, so Hill's ability to return to practice Thursday is a sign he's making progress through his injury. His practice participation over the next two days will provide more clarity on his status for Monday's game against the Rams. In the two games following the Dolphins' Week 6 bye, Hill logged four catches (on five targets) for 15 yards, with two of those targets occurring in the end zone.
Hill (shoulder) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Bills, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill was unable to practice all week after sustaining a shoulder injury in the Dolphins' Week 8 loss to the Cardinals. His next opportunity to see the field will come in Week 10, when the Dolphins play the Rams on Monday night. Expect Durham Smythe to serve as Miami's No. 2 tight end behind Jonnu Smith in Hill's stead Sunday.
Hill (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. The Campbell product sustained a shoulder injury in Miami's Week 8 loss to the Cardinals, so it's no surprise he's missing Wednesday's practice. Hill will likely need to upgrade to at least limited participation either Thursday or Friday to have a chance at playing in Week 9, when the Dolphins travel to Buffalo.
Hill (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Arizona, Omar Kelly of the Miami Herald reports. Hill suffered the injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game. With Tanner Conner (coach's decision) inactive, Durham Smythe will be the Dolphins' lone backup tight end behind Jonnu Smith for as long as Hill is sidelined.
