Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill Out with Oblique Injury During Practices

Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill is sidelined with an oblique injury, preventing him from participating in recent and upcoming practices, including a joint session with the Chicago Bears. The injury, attributed to overuse, has kept Hill from full team drills and will likely keep him out for the Dolphins' preseason opener. Despite the setback, Hill has shown determination by attempting to take every possible rep during practice. This absence forces quarterback Tua Tagovailoa to rely more on other receivers like Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, and Dee Eskridge, who are all competing to solidify their roles in the offense. Off the field, Hill is also working to mend relationships with teammates after expressing a desire to leave Miami earlier in the year, with Coach Mike McDaniel and Tagovailoa highlighting ongoing efforts to strengthen team dynamics. Hill's injury history includes a wrist injury last season from a joint practice, adding to concerns about his health as the Dolphins prepare for the 2025 season.
