Tyreek Hill gives Miami Dolphins huge scare ahead of Bills showdown

Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill has fans questioning his status as his team gears up to face the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.

The wide receiver geared up and played in their Week 8 loss to the Arizona Cardinals despite being ruled questionable.

Days later, Joe Schad of the Palm Beach Post reported that Hill was absent during the portion of Wednesday’s practice that was open to reporters. Schad added that Hill is dealing with a foot injury. 

Hill was not on last Wednesday’s report. He was also limited on Thursday before skipping last Friday’s session entirely.

Nonetheless, Cheetah tallied six receptions in nine targets for 72 yards in the 28-27 loss to Arizona. Hill is still marked active, although his absence leaves fans speculating if he would play against Buffalo.

Hill has struggled over the first seven games as the Dolphins started the season 2-5 

Last season, Hill was en route toward 2,000 receiving yards before getting derailed by an ankle injury in December. So far this year, he only has 366 yards through seven games – putting him on pace for 888 by the end of the season.

Hill arrived in Miami in 2022 after six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. In each of his first two seasons with the Dolphins, he tabbed more than 1,700 receiving yards.

His only 100-yard performance this year came in a Week 1 win over the Jaguars. The speedy receiver caught seven passes for 130 yards and his only touchdown this season.

The Dolphins have defensive tackles Zach Sieler and Benito Jones, offensive lineman Terron Armstead, and linebacker Emmanual Ogbah on questionable status as of Oct. 30. Hill’s fellow receiver River Cracraft is on injury reserve with upper body complications.

Meanwhile, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa returned on Sunday after getting concussed in Week 2 against the Bills.

The Dolphins are 2-5 heading into Sunday’s game against the 6-2 Buffaloes. A defeat would put Miami 5.5 games behind Buffalo in the standings.
