Hill participated in the team drills during Tuesday’s practice. However, he did not actively participate in any other practice sessions.

In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Wolfe reported Tyreek Hill’s injury, which read, “Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is the latest player dealing with minor injury. He wore a removable brace on his right hand during practice today. Hill was in uniform and helmet, but I didn’t spot him catch a pass. Mike McDaniel has noted caution with many players to get/keep them healthy for the season.”

When will Tyreek Hill return to play in the NFL?
