Tyreek Hill Has Difficult Injury Update Before Training Camp

Tyreek Hill remains one of the biggest names among NFL free agents, and it will probably stay that way for the foreseeable future.

That’s because Hill still can’t put full weight on his injured leg from a torn ACL and dislocated knee last season on Sept. 29, 2025, with the Miami Dolphins. One of the game’s most dynamic wide receivers made the announcement via a workout video on social media on Wednesday.

“So it’s about 10 months after doing two surgeries,” Hill said in the video. “My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg at all, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg, but it’s one day at a time.”

The video shows him running, doing water workouts, and jumping. None of it is full NFL speed, however.

“That’s it. Just my first step. Kind of rusty,” Hill said after a sprint. “I haven’t run in a long time.”

Also in the video, Hill detailed what he is looking for in his workouts. He ran various drills in the video to showcase his speed and agility.

“Just trying to get my explosion and my breath back,” Hill said. “So, whenever I step back on the field, it’s like none of it’s missing.”

Hill also talked about the severity of his injury. It was one that could have been worse than just career-ending.

“You know, they [doctors] told me I may not be able to walk again, and the doctors were like, ‘bro we don’t know what’s going to happen with your future,” Hill said on the video. “And now look at me. God is good.”

While the Dolphins released Hill in February over salary cap space, he isn’t giving up on his successful career. Hill is an eight-time Pro Bowler and five-time first-team All-Pro with 819 receptions for 11,363 yards and 83 touchdowns in his decade in the league.

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, made it clear during a June interview with sportscaster Josh Moser that Hill isn’t in a rush. Rosenhaus also said Hill wants to be “all the way back” to football shape first.  

“I ain’t gonna tell you what my timeline is, but [the] timeline [is] looking real good right now,” Hill said.  

If Hill returns this year, he could do anything from rejoining his first team, the Kansas City Chiefs, to finding an entirely new squad. If Hill rejoined the Chiefs, he could pair up with quarterback Patrick Mahomes again, as the two won a Super Bowl in the 2019 season. Kansas City traded Hill in 2022 to the Dolphins, where he continued his run of success with former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

Other teams that could land Hill include the Buffalo Bills, who need another strong wideout for quarterback Josh Allen. The New England Patriots could also utilize Hill as a deep threat for quarterback Drake Maye.

Hill also could rejoin his former coach with the Dolphins, Mike McDaniel, on the Los Angeles Chargers roster. McDaniel took the offensive coordinator job there this offseason. Hill would bolster the Chargers’ receiving corps for quarterback Justin Herbert.

The San Francisco 49ers could use Hill given the team’s instability at wide receiver in recent years. While San Francisco added star wideout Mike Evans this offseason, the 49ers look poised to part ways with Brandon Aiyuk. Otherwise, the Niners are rolling with Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk as the other top two wideouts after Evans.

All of that is hypothetical, as Hill may not be ready to go this season. A severe knee injury such as Hill’s could take more than one year to recover from, so the future remains a big unknown for Hill for now.
