Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill remains a question for the the team’s Monday night game against the Los Angeles Rams, and now there are new questions about the severity of his wrist injury.

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said during his weekly appearance on South Florida TV station WSVN that his superstar client was doing everything he could to play against the Rams, a game the Dolphins desperately need if they hope to make it. can do. making a second-half playoff push.

But it’s what Rosenhaus didn’t say that was more interesting and potentially problematic.

In light of a non-journalist social media post based on an overheard conversation, Rosenhaus was asked if Hill might consider surgery if the Dolphins’ prospects become worse than they already are.

If the idea of ​​surgery had been absurd or out of left field, you would think Rosenhaus would have quickly dismissed the idea.

Instead, he said this: “You know, that’s not something that I want to discuss publicly. I think that’s something that’s going to be really internal at this point between me and Tyreek and his family and the team. I know he is focused on doing everything.” that he can get ready to play in the game tomorrow night, and I think everyone knows how important this game is, and let’s focus on that right now.”

Hill missed the past two practices heading into the Rams game and was listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Before Saturday training Head coach Mike McDaniel revealed that Hill suffered the injury during a joint practice with the Washington Commanders in August and that the issue flared up during last Sunday’s 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

It is unclear exactly when Hill aggravated the injury, but he grabbed his left wrist and asked to leave the game on a running play by Raheem Mostert in the second half, shortly before Hill returned and had a 28-yard reception to save a Dolphins to set up a field goal. .

Doctor Jesse Morse, owner of @InjuryExpertz and who goes by “Fantasy Doc,” suggested that surgery might be necessary to correct the problem based on the information he has (and not personal research.

Before appearing on the injury report the week of the Week 8 game against the Arizona Cardinals due to a foot injury sustained in practice, Hill had not been on the injury report all season except for a missed practice here and there due to a rest break. day.

Hill has missed one game since joining the Dolphins via trade in March 2022, last December when he sat out the 30-0 win against the New York Jets due to an ankle injury.

Despite appearing in every game this season, Hill is on pace to finish with 948 yards, which would be only the third time in nine NFL seasons that he has failed to reach 1,000 yards.
