Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill will take the field for Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams, but he won't be 100 percent healthy.
ESPN's Adam Schefter and Lisa Salters reported Hill will play in the game even though he was listed as questionable. Hill also revealed he is playing with a torn ligament in his wrist, but it won't prevent him from suiting up.
Grant Gordon of NFL.com noted the wrist injury prevented him from practicing Friday and Saturday.
The star receiver has played in each of Miami's eight games this season and has 34 catches for 446 yards and one touchdown. The numbers are a step below last season when he finished with 119 catches for 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns.
The yardage and touchdown totals were both best in the league in 2023, and it marked the second straight season where he posted more than 1,700 yards.
When healthy, Hill is arguably the best wide receiver in the league, making the Pro Bowl in each of his first eight seasons. It is difficult to envision Miami making up any ground in the AFC if he is unable to take the field, especially after such a troubling start.
The Dolphins are 2-6 on the campaign and in last place in the AFC East.
Tua Tagovailoa missing time with a concussion partially explains the poor record, but he is now back and leading the offense. Miami surely hopes to turn things around with the offense healthier, and Hill is a major part of that.
With that in mind, this is a welcome development for the Dolphins even if Hill is limited.
