Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill might not play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16, per the Friday injury report. A video that surfaced Friday afternoon shows why Hill might not be available for a second straight week.
Hill is battling an ankle injury he suffered in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans. The Dolphins allowed Hill to decide last week if he could play the New York Jets
Head coach Mike McDaniel wanted Hill to take caution not to make the injury worse, as the Dolphins have the playoffs coming up next month. However, McDaniel and Hill know he has a chance to win NFL MVP if he can continue to pad his stats in the last month of the season.
Hill chose to be a good teammate by sitting out against the Jets. Hill did not participate in practice on Wednesday this week but was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday. The Dolphins listed Hill as questionable to play the Cowboys on Friday’s injury report, so he might not play again this week.
Hill decided not to play the Jets about an hour before the game. Hill tried to go but wasn’t ready to push his ankle. A video appeared from FinsXtra on X that shows Hill might have the same problem this weekend.
Hill still has a slight but noticeable limp.
The Dolphins have a two-game lead in the AFC East over the second-place Buffalo Bills, and their position in the playoffs doesn’t appear to hinge on Hill playing this weekend. But Hill’s chances at winning MVP would crater if he misses Week 16.
Will Hill and the Dolphins choose to be patient for the long term again?
