Tyreek Hill 'Doing Everything Possible to Play' amid Wrist Injury, Dolphins HC Says

Ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday, Miami Dolphins star receiver Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury.

According to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson, the wrist injury is "heating up," but head coach Mike McDaniel said Hill is "doing everything possible to play."

"We will see how he responds," McDaniel said. "I'm optimistic he's going to do everything he can. But we'll see. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic or pessimistic."

According to Jackson, Hill practiced Thursday but missed Friday's on-field session after suffering the wrist injury. It's the second time this season Hill has suffered a mid-week injury—the other being a foot injury in October that did not keep him from playing against the Arizona Cardinals.

The Dolphins can't afford to play without their top receiver amid a 2-6 start to the season. Hill leads Miami's wide receiver room with 446 receiving yards and a touchdown, though his production hasn't been as impressive as last season.

Part of the hit in his stats has come from Tua Tagovailoa's absence. The starting quarterback has played just four games this season because of a concussion in Week 2 and the Dolphins' offense struggled without him.

Miami has improved offensively since Tagovailoa's return in Week 8, but the Dolphins have still dropped their last two games against the Cardinals and Buffalo Bills, respectively.

Tagovailoa had 234 passing yards and 231 passing yards in those games, respectively, while Hill posted 152 receiving yards between the two contests. While those weren't the most impressive games by Hill's standard, he hadn't recorded more than 70 receiving yards since Week 1, so it was a step in the right direction.

Hill is looking to continue finding his connection with Tagovailoa as the two try to salvage their playoff hopes, but a wrist injury would certainly make things more difficult.
