Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill talks with a staff member as he is carted off the field after suffering severe knee injury during a game against the New York Jets.
A rash of expected changes within the Miami Dolphins organization are going to start with Tyreek Hill.
NFL Insider Tom Pelissero reported Monday morning that the Dolphins will release their five-time All-Pro wideout.
Hill has been sidelined since sustaining a devastating knee injury on Sept. 29 in a game against the New York Jets.
He made an appearance at the Super Bowl earlier this month telling reporters he was in his second week of walking without a brace or crutches.
The injury he’s coming back from is severe. In addition to tearing his ACL on the play, Hill suffered a dislocated knee.
Normally that type of injury would require a minimum of nine to 12 months before a return to the playing field, but Hill has made his intention clear. He is shooting to be ready to return for the beginning of the 2026 season.
As recently as 2023 season, Hill led the NFL in receiving with 1,799 yards and earned first-team All-Pro honours.
Without Hill in 2025, Miami’s passing game was a shadow of its former self.
Had the Dolphins not released Hill by March 13, they would have been on the hook for a $16-million guarantee.
Still to come is a decision on quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who the Dolphins could either trade or possibly release.
There also were reports on Monday that the team would also be releasing former Pro Bowl pass rusher Bradley Chubb.
Already this off-season the Dolphins have overhauled their entire coaching staff with Jeff Hafley taking over from Mike McDaniel. In January they also hired Jon-Eric Sullivan as their new general manager,
