Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a devastating knee injury during his team's 27-21 win over the Jets on Monday night. Hill went down early in the third quarter after catching a 10-yard pass from Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, after which the Dolphins star receiver's left leg twisted awkwardly underneath him. Hill's leg was placed in an air cast and he was carted off the field, with Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel telling reporters that the eight-time Pro Bowl selection had dislocated his knee and was undergoing further testing.

However, this is all largely speculation and there will likely be more concrete updates as to a timeline following Hill's surgery.

As recently as May of 2024, Hill spoke about his desire to retire as a Dolphin. It's not clear how this injury could affect that desire.
