Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel revealed Friday that super star pass receiver Tyreek Hill will be noted as doubtful to bet the New York Jets on Sunday after missing out on practice all week with an ankle injury.
According to NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe, McDaniel stated the following about Hill's status and the choice of whether to let him play: “It's his profession. When we talk, this is what will take place. … If he's positive he can be himself and I have the assistance of the fitness instructors, he will play. If it's not, he will not.”
Hill hurt his ankle throughout the very first quarter of Monday night's 28-27 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Hill's ankle bent awkwardly beneath him while getting dealt with near the sidelines by Titans cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting.
After remaining down for a number of seconds, Hill got up and started running in an evident effort to thrill the crowd.
Regardless of that, Hill remained for the rest of the very first half, and while he returned throughout the 2nd half, he did not play his normal allocation of snaps.
In general, Hill played 47 percent of the offending snaps versus Tennessee and was held to 4 receptions for 61 lawns and no goals, which was among his least efficient video games of the season.
When healthy, Hill has actually been practically unstoppable this season, acquiring 97 receptions for a league-leading 1,542 lawns and 12 goals through 13 video games.
With Hill out of the lineup for much of Monday's video game, the Miami offense kept an eye out of sync, and if not for a number of turnovers deep in Titans area, the Dolphins might not have actually scored an offending goal in the video game.
Hill's lack made his significance to the Miami offense much more apparent, and it maybe highlighted why he needs to be under factor to consider for NFL MVP honors.
It likewise showed just how much quarterback Tua Tagovailoa depends on Hill to keep opposing defenses sincere.
If Hill is not able to play Sunday, Tua will need to lean more greatly on Jaylen Waddle and Cedrick Wilson in the death video game, and McDaniel might want to run the ball regularly than typical with Raheem Mostert and De'Von Achane, the latter of whom is likewise doubtful with a toe injury.
