Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently underwent surgery to fix ligament damage in his wrist but is expected to be ready for training camp, head coach Mike McDaniel said Tuesday at the NFL scouting combine.
McDaniel clarified that Hill’s wrist wasn’t broken, as his agent previously stated, but instead had a “ligament issue” that required surgery. Hill played through the entire 2024 season with the injury, which he sustained during a joint practice with Washington in August.
“He´s scheduled to be running very soon,” McDaniel said, “in which he´ll be relying upon that in his training until he can catch the football, which will be more around summertime going into training camp.”
Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, revealed in January that doctors initially advised season-ending wrist surgery, but Hill chose to delay the procedure until after the season. Despite the injury, he recorded 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns.
After Miami’s season-ending loss to the New York Jets, Hill sparked speculation by suggesting he might want to play for another team. However, he later backtracked, attributing the remarks to frustration over missing the playoffs.
