Hill posted on his Snapchat account Wednesday that he had a procedure to remove screws from his left wrist, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Hill previously had surgery on the wrist in question earlier this offseason. The original injury stemmed from a joint practice with the Commanders last August, but the veteran wide receiver played through the pain en route to an 81-959-6 line on 123 targets across 17 regular-season games. Each of those marks equated to campaign lows since joining the Dolphins in 2022, and his TD total matched a career low since he was selected in the fifth round of the 2016 Draft. Coach Mike McDaniel said in February that Hill likely won't resume football activities until "around summertime going into training camp," so there appears to be a good chance that he misses the entire offseason program in May and early June.

Hill posted on his Snapchat account Wednesday that he had a procedure to remove screws from his left wrist, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Hill previously had surgery on the wrist in question earlier this offseason. The original injury stemmed from a joint practice with the Commanders last August, but the veteran wide receiver played through the pain en route to an 81-959-6 line on 123 targets across 17 regular-season games. Each of those marks equated to campaign lows since joining the Dolphins in 2022, and his TD total matched a career low since he was selected in the fifth round of the 2016 Draft. Coach Mike McDaniel said in February that Hill likely won't resume football activities until "around summertime going into training camp," so there appears to be a good chance that he misses the entire offseason program in May and early June.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that the team is not currently considering trading Hill (wrist), Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Grier noted that Hill, who is recovering from wrist surgery, has been present at team facilities during the early portion of the offseason and is working with new wide receivers coach Robert Prince, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. He dismissed the team's desire to trade the veteran wideout by saying the organization would "consider it" for the unrealistic return of "two first-rounders," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. By the end of the 2024 season things appeared fractured enough between Hill and Miami that a parting of ways was inevitable, but the 31-year-old has since made public efforts to mend relations. After surpassing 1,700 receiving yards in two consecutive prior years, Hill was limited to an 81-959-6 line across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024, enduring both a nagging wrist injury and tumult at the quarterback position.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday that Hill is recovering from left wrist surgery undergone to address a ligament issue, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Hill was listed on the injury report for much of the 2024 campaign with a 'wrist' designation, which helps on some level to explain his decline in production, having logged an 81-959-6 receiving line across 17 regular-season games, a notable decrease after he'd exceeded 1,700 receiving yards the prior to years. The veteran wideout pulled himself from Miami's finale against the Jets in Week 18, saying "I'm out," but on the "Up & Adams Show" he recently reframed those as mere "frustrated" comments, saying "I don't want to go nowhere" and that "we are really building something special in Miami," Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN reports. Hill is on schedule to be able to catch again during the summer, per Joe Schad of The Palm Beach Post.
Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday that the wideout is still "committed to this Dolphin football team" despite his saying "I'm out" after Miami's loss to the Jets in Week 18, Eric Edholm of NFL.com reports. Rosenhaus said Hill "had an excellent meeting with [general manager] Chris Grier and [head coach] Mike McDaniel," after he appeared to remove himself from the Dolphins' regular-season finale early, playing just 40 percent of offensive snaps. Across 17 regular-season games in 2024, Hill compiled just a 81-959-6 receiving line on 123 targets, his first time failing to eclipse the 1,000-yard mark since 2019. He remains under contract with Miami through the 2026 campaign, but after saying "it was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career" following the team's loss to New York, it seems clear that Hill is open to, if not actively looking for, a change of scenery. Rosenhaus' comments may simply be an effort to make a potential offseason trade more achievable for the Dolphins.
Hill (wrist/illness) caught two of three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-30 loss to the Jets. Hill finished the regular season on a sour note after Week 18's dismal output had the star receiver falling just short of the 1,000-yard mark in receiving yards for the first time since an injury-shortened 2019 season. The 30-year-old was truly questionable heading into this game after nursing both an elbow injury and an illness while missing all of the team's practices leading up to Sunday's defeat. After the game, Hill was melancholy when regarding his future in Miami, stating "I'm out, bruh. It was great playing here but at the end of the day, I have to do what's best for my career." according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. It's an interesting statement from the perennial All-Pro considering that his current contract runs through the 2026 season. That being said, the Dolphins could use the talented Hill as a big trade piece this offseason if the front office decides to move the receiver, if that is indeed what he wishes.
Hill (wrist/illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Jets. Hill, who has been managing a wrist issue, was sidelined for Friday's practice due to an illness, before being deemed questionable for Sunday's contest. With his active status confirmed for Miami's must-win regular-season finale, Hill will have a chance to maintain the chemistry that he built with QB Tyler Huntley (who is starting once again in place of Tua Tagovailoa/hip) during the team's Week 17 win over the Browns, when he caught all nine of his targets for 105 yards.
Hill (wrist/illness) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill has been no stranger to the injury report in the second half of the season, though it's a bit worrisome that he was unable to practice at all just one day after being a full participant Thursday. The star wide receiver likely will do all he can to play Sunday because the Dolphins can make the playoffs with a win and a Denver loss to Kansas City. Tua Tagovailoa (hip) is listed as doubtful, but Hill showed good chemistry with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in the Week 17 win over the Browns, as they connected for nine catches and 105 yards.
Hill (wrist/rest) was a full practice participant Thursday, Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. Hill was listed as a limited participant at practice Wednesday while he continues to manage a wrist issue, but his full participation Thursday paves the way for him to be available for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Jets. The star wideout is likely to be on the receiving end of passes from Tyler Huntley, who appears to be trending toward a second straight start in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip).
Hill (wrist/rest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports. Hill's limitations were presumably maintenance-related, as he's dealt with the wrist issue for much of the season without missing a game. In the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Browns, Hill played 88 percent of the snaps on offensive and finished with a 9-105-0 receiving line on nine targets. He was working with Tyler Huntley as his quarterback in that game, and head coach Mike McDaniel suggested that Huntley is trending toward a second straight start in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Jets with normal starter Tua Tagovailoa still dealing with a hip injury.
