Tyreek Hill Carted Off, Hospitalized After Serious Knee Injury/ TezzBuzz/ WASHINGTON/ J. Mansour/ Morning Edition/ Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a dislocated left knee during Monday night’s game against the New York Jets. Hill was carted off the field and later hospitalized for evaluation and imaging. His status remains uncertain pending MRI and CT scan results.
Tyreek Hill, the explosive wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, was carted off the field Monday night after suffering a dislocated left knee in the third quarter of a 27–21 win against the New York Jets. The injury occurred after Hill made a catch near the sideline and was tackled, twisting his knee in a disturbing angle as he planted his foot.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the diagnosis and said Hill would remain hospitalized overnight for imaging, evaluation, and observation. Medical staff quickly responded on the field, placing Hill’s leg in an air cast before carting him off. Despite the severity, Hill was clapping and smiling, engaging with fans and teammates even as he was taken away — a reflection of his resilience and spirit.
Hill was undergoing both an MRI and CT scan late Monday night, according to his agent Drew Rosenhaus. Speaking with WSVN, Rosenhaus emphasized the need to rule out structural damage, including torn ligaments, cartilage, fractures, and nerve damage. “All of this is getting checked out,” Rosenhaus confirmed, adding that Dolphins medical staff were with Hill at the hospital.
The play that led to Hill’s injury took place with 13:21 left in the third quarter. As he neared the Jets’ sideline and attempted to cut with his left foot, he was pulled down, causing his knee to bend awkwardly. The stadium fell silent, and players from both teams took a knee as Hill received treatment. After he was loaded onto the cart, several players gathered around him in a show of support.
Despite the devastating injury, Hill managed to uplift the morale of his teammates — a testament to the leadership he has been striving to exhibit.
At the time of his injury, Hill had matched his season-high with six receptions. Since entering the league in 2017, he has accumulated 11,363 receiving yards — the most in the NFL during that period. His 819 receptions place him fourth since 2017, behind only Davante Adams, Travis Kelce, and Stefon Diggs. Hill’s 83 touchdown catches are third-most in the league in that span, trailing only Adams (102) and Mike Evans (91).
Now in his 10th NFL season and fourth with the Dolphins, Hill led the league with 1,799 receiving yards in 2023. His time in Miami, however, has not been without controversy. He notably pulled himself from the final game of last season and hinted at wanting to play elsewhere — a comment that reportedly strained relationships within the team. But this offseason, Hill made efforts to rebuild those bonds.
As Hill remains under observation and awaits results from the MRI and CT scan, the Dolphins — and the NFL — hold their breath. His return timeline remains unknown, and his absence could have major implications for Miami’s season moving forward.
