Dolphins Re-sign Cedrick Wilson Jr. After Tyreek Hill Injury

The Miami Dolphins have signed veteran wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. off the New Orleans Saints' practice squad following a season-ending knee injury to star receiver Tyreek Hill. Wilson, who played for the Dolphins in the 2022 and 2023 seasons and is familiar with coach Mike McDaniel's system, is expected to provide depth but may not assume a prominent role in the offense. The Dolphins currently have a 1-3 record, and Hill's absence leaves quarterback Tua Tagovailoa relying on other receivers like Jaylen Waddle, Malik Washington, and tight end Darren Waller. Coach McDaniel emphasized the need for young players to step up and the possibility of accumulating contributions from multiple receivers to compensate for Hill's loss. Wilson's return is seen as a quick, smart move to address the void left by Hill, though the team may also lean on emerging talent like Tahj Washington. The signing reflects an adaptation back to offensive plans prior to Hill's arrival and highlights the challenges the Dolphins face in maintaining their passing attack this season.
