MIAMI DOLPHINS WIDE receiver Tyreek Hill will miss the remainder of the NFL season after suffering “multiple” torn ligaments in Monday’s victory over the New York Jets, the Dolphins said Tuesday.
Super Bowl-winner Hill, one of the NFL’s best wide receivers, was carted off the field at Hard Rock Stadium on Monday after the gruesome-looking injury in the third quarter.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said Hill was undergoing knee surgery and would play no further part in the season.
“It’s a major knee procedure, multiple ligaments,” McDaniel told reporters. “Obviously his season’s done. Our focus as a team now is to support him.”
NFL.com reported that Hill suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament as well as other ligament damage in the incident following a tackle from Jets cornerback Malachi Moore.
Hill’s injury is another chapter in a career studded by success and controversy.
He was a key member of the Kansas City Chiefs team that won the Super Bowl in Miami in 2020, and helped the team return to the Super Bowl the following season.

However Hill’s playing career has also seen plenty of off-field drama.
He pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery following an incident in 2014 where he was alleged to have choked his then-pregnant girlfriend.
In 2019, he was investigated for child battery after an incident in which his three-year-old son suffered a broken arm. No charges were ever filed in that case.
Last September, Hill was at the center of a confrontation with traffic police after he was stopped as he drove to the Dolphins season-opening game.
He was subsequently dragged from his car, and handcuffed on the ground in a case which raised questions about police treatment of minorities. Traffic charges against him were later dismissed.
During the Dolphins victory on Monday night, tight end Darren Waller, playing in his first NFL game in nearly two years, caught a pair of touchdown passes.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 177 yards, completing 17 of 25 passes without a turnover as he moved to 7-0 against the Jets.
The Dolphins improve to 1-3, while the Jets remain win-less at 0-4.
Elsewhere, the Denver Broncos snapped a two-game losing streak with a 28-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
JK Dobbins rushed for 101 yards on 16 carries, marking Denver’s first 100-yard rushing performance since 2022.
Denver quarterback Bo Nix ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, totalling 326 yards in the air.
The Broncos, who improved to 2-2, will next face the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
