MIAMI GARDENS – Miami Dolphins’ five-time All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police hours before the team’s home opener at Hard Rock Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A senior law enforcement source told CBS News Miami that Hill was detained after he was stopped for reckless driving by Miami-Dade police.
“He was uncooperative and when it was clear he would not cooperate he was placed in handcuffs and detained,” according to the source.
The source said the officers did not know who Hill was when they stopped him.
A second player saw what was happening pulled over, got out of his car and interfered with the officers, according to the source. He was also placed in handcuffs and detained. Both players were ultimately released. Hill was cited for careless driving.
The Dolphins posted on X, formerly Twitter, that Hill will be available to play on Sunday.
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said he will suit up and play in Sunday’s game, according ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
