Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill has oblique injury, out of joint practice vs. Bears
The Miami Dolphins have shelved Tyreek Hill because of an oblique injury, holding the team’s All-Pro receiver from participating in Friday’s joint practices.
It’s unclear when the injury occured, though Hill sat out of Wednesday’s practice with an undisclosed ailment.
“He’s working through an oblique that got worst becasue he was taking every rep that was on the books,” McDaniel said Friday, later adding that “right now, we’re trying to prevent it from being a lingering thing.”
Other injuries to monitor include that of edge rusher Mo Kamara, who suffered a concussion and did not travel with the team, and fullback Alec Ingold. The 29-year-old fullback traveled with the team despite sustaining a concussion in the final moments of Sunday’s practice.
“If he would have been the fastest protocol [clearance] in the history of America,” McDaniel said Friday. Ingold must participate in at least two practices without feeling the effects of his concussion to be cleared from the NFL concussion protocol. “This turnaround for a joint practice wouldn’t be best for a fullback.”
Coincidentally, Hill sustained last year’s wrist injury during a joint practice with the Washington Commanders. He was also limited during the joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last year because of the wrist injury, which needed to be surgically repaired at the end of the 2024 season.
His absence forced starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to lean on Jaylen Waddle and the rest of Miami’s receiving corps, which features three receivers — Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine and Dee Eskridge — whom Tagovailoa need to develop better chemistry with.
All three are pushing to earn significant roles in Miami’s offense this season.
