Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill carted off after horrific leg injury vs. Jets

Medical personnel had immediately rushed to Hill’s side as they stabilized his leg, and carted him off the field during the third quarter.

Dolphins trainers focused on Hill’s knee as they worked to stabilize it — cutting off his cleats. Hill’s mother was able to come down to the field, ESPN’s Katie George reported on the broadcast. 

Hill smiled and waved to the crowd as he was taken into the tunnel. 

“He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I’ve ever seen [have] such a terrible experience,” McDaniel said after the game. “He immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good, just make sure the guys get this win.’ He was focused on the team.” 

The Dolphins officially declared Hill out with a knee injury shortly after he was taken off the field. 

“That’s my twin,” Jaylen Waddle said of the injury. “Anytime you see your brother — someone you have a great relationship with outside of the game of football — go down like that, it’s always tough. He wanted me to keep my head in it. We talked when he was on the cart a little bit.”

The reception at the time of his injury was Hill’s sixth of the game and had upped his total to 67 receiving yards on the night. 

Miami finished the drive by finding the end zone as Tagovailoa found tight end Darren Waller for a 9-yard touchdown pass three plays later to extend the Dolphins’ lead to 17-3 with 11:33 remaining in the third quarter. 

Hill now has 21 receptions for 265 yards and one touchdown through four games.

He had back-to-back seasons of 1,700-plus yards his first two years with the Dolphins before suffering a down year in 2024, in which he failed to eclipse the 1,000 receiving yard mark.
