CORAL GABLES, FLA. (WSVN) – Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill is set to miss the remainder of the season after suffering from a torn ACL and a dislocated knee in a devastating injury during Monday’s 27-21 victory over the New York Jets.
Hill was carted off the field and taken to Baptist Health Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables after he twisted his left knee at an odd angle while making a catch near the sideline.
Though the injury was gruesome, Hill’s spirits were high as he was seen smiling and waving at fans while being wheeled off the field.
On Tuesday afternoon, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel provided an update on Hill’s injuries.
“Major knee procedure, multiple ligaments and, obviously, his season is done,” he said.
Hill shared photos featuring his mother on Snapchat from inside the ambulance with the captions “love my mom” and “blessed.”
The star player underwent an MRI and a CT scan to assess the severity of his injuries, which revealed he tore multiple ligaments, including his ACL.
Moments before going into the operation room on Tuesday, Hill posted a video on X, where he was all smiles and thanked the NFL and fans for their overflow of support and prayers.
“All right, guys, Tyreek Hill here, the cheetah, about to go in for this surgery. Keep your boy in your prayers. You guys have been awesome man, Fins nation, just the whole entire NFL have been amazing, sending me lots of love, lots of prayers and I’m absolutely honored, granted the situation, but I love you guys so much and hope to see you soon. Cheetah,” said Hill.
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, offered an encouraging update on his surgery, Tuesday afternoon, saying it all went well.
“All of the torn ligaments, the injuries went back into place naturally. There’s no nerve damage, no blood flow issues, no broken bones. The cartilage is fine,” he said.
Rosenhaus added he hopes Hill gets back on the field for the upcoming season.
“The goal is for him to be ready to play next season. It’s only one surgical procedure. There was some concern that it might be more than one surgery, but right now, everything went as well as we could’ve hoped for,” he said. “We’ll pray for Tyreek to have a speedy recovery. We know he’ll do a great job at his rehabilitation.”
By Wednesday morning Hill provided another update on X , saying “Surgery went great” and quoting Romans 8:18 bible verse, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.”
Hill’s teammates said his positivity is a feature of his personality.
“He was joking when I came up and talked to him, and a lot of the guys came up and talked to him. That’s just his personality, who he is. Our thoughts and prayers are with him,” said Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
“Our focus as a team is to support him,” said McDaniel.
Hill is in his 10th NFL season. It is his fourth with the Dolphins.
