Tyreek Hill active for Dolphins vs. Rams despite wrist injury

INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was active Monday night to play against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hill was questionable due to a torn ligament in his wrist. That injury, combined with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s extended absence due to a concussion, has led to a significant drop in production for Hill.

He came in with 446 yards receiving and one touchdown in eight games, having failed to surpass 100 yards or score since gaining 130 yards and a touchdown in the season opener against Jacksonville. Hill had at least 1,700 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons with Miami. He previously played six seasons with Kansas City.

The 30-year-old Hill has had at least 1,200 yards receiving in each of the previous four seasons. He led the NFL with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdown catches in 2023 and agreed to a restructured contract with more guaranteed money in August.

The Dolphins’ inactive players were running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee), cornerback Ethan Bonner, fullback Alec Ingold, cornerback Storm Duck, linebacker Mohamed Kamara, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer and wide receiver Dee Eskridge.

The Rams were without starting right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) and reserve defensive lineman Neville Gallimore (shoulder/neck) available after previously cutting them. They got offensive linemen Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson back after long absences.
