Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s status for this weekend’s game against the New York Jets is still uncertain after he injured his ankle during Week 14’s game against the Tennessee Titans. The team did not practice on Wednesday, and head coach Mike McDaniel stated that Hill would not have been able to participate if they had held a normal session.
During a Thursday press conference, McDaniel addressed the team’s ongoing assessment of their injured players, emphasizing that the decision about Hill’s availability will be made with a focus on his long-term health and contribution to the team. “He’s such an important part of our team that we’re going to make sure that when he’s on the field, he’s not at risk of further injury to himself,” McDaniel said.
Hill’s absence would be a significant blow to the Dolphins, as he is a vital part of their plans for the season. However, the team may need to prioritize his long-term well-being over short-term success. As they continue to assess his injury, the Dolphins will have to prepare for the possibility of facing the Jets without one of their key playmakers.
