The Miami Dolphins are unlikely to have wide receiver Tyreek Hill for the rest of the season after he suffered a significant injury in Week 4.
Hill came down with the injury in the second half when he got his leg rolled up on after making a catch. It was immediately clear that he had suffered a serious issue after seeing his leg go in a direction it's not supposed to.
It was later revealed that Hill is feared to have suffered a dislocated knee, which will be a lengthy recovery process if torn ligaments are involved.
As Hill was being carted off the field, he looked surprisingly upbeat, with the star wideout sporting a smile and clapping his hands. Head coach Mike McDaniel even revealed that Hill was cracking jokes as he left the field.

Hours after Hill suffered the injury, his former Dolphins teammate, Terron Armstead, shared what Hill told him about the reaction to the injury.
"I just got a FaceTime call from my brother [Tyreek Hill]," Armstead wrote. "First thing he said 'man I’m just happy we got that win.' He's in good spirits and said he was laughing through the pain to avoid passing out. Crazy!"
"Praying for best news possible and speedy recovery!" Armstead concluded.
Depending on the severity of the injury, Hill could be looking at upwards of a year of recovery, which means he may not be ready for the 2026 season, which is also the final year of his contract with the Dolphins.
Now, Miami will have to navigate the rest of the season without its No. 1 wideout. The Dolphins will need Jaylen Waddle and Darren Waller to step up as a result.
