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) 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.
Hill secured both of his targets for 24 yards during Sunday's 24-3 loss to the Seahawks. Hill played 39 percent of snaps versus Seattle and racked up a superior receiving line to Jonnu Smith (2-18-0) despite drawing one less target. He was on the field for one more offensive play than Smith. Meanwhile, Durham Smythe has looked like the poorest pass-catching option in the Dolphins' tight end corps, with just two catches for 11 yards on the season (six targets). Hill will look to continue making the most of his rotational opportunities versus the Titans on Monday Night Football.
Hill failed to secure either of his two targets during Thursday's 31-10 loss to the Bills. Hill has drawn two targets through Miami's first pair of regular-season games, though he's only come away with a single catch for six yards Week 1. It's notable, though, that the Dolphins have deployed Hill, Jonnu Smith and Durham Smythe in a fully fledged rotation to begin the regular season. The second-year TE will look to stay involved Week 3 versus Seattle, a game in which Skylar Thompson looks slated to start under center.
