Tyreek Hill injury update: Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill was forced to leave the Monday game vs the New York Jets after sustaining a gruesome leg injury.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was forced to leave Monday’s game against the New York Jets after suffering a gruesome leg injury.
The injury occurred at the end of a 10-yard completion from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, when Jets defender Malachi Moore tackled Hill low. As Hill was brought down, his leg twisted awkwardly, bending in a visibly unnatural direction.
Hill's left leg was immediately stabilized in an air cast, and he was carted off the field accompanied by Miami’s medical and training staff. Despite the severity of the injury, Hill was seen clapping his hands, smiling, and laughing in response to the crowd while being taken off the field.
