Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was reportedly detained by police early Sunday morning, just hours before the team’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Social media videos showed Hill in handcuffs surrounded by several officers, with additional photos depicting him on the sidewalk near the stadium. He was dressed in gray sweatpants and a white tank top.
Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, confirmed to ESPN that Hill was detained due to an alleged driving violation. "I just left Tyreek, and he is getting ready to play today," Rosenhaus said. He did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for further comment.
In a statement, the Miami Dolphins addressed the situation: “This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police. He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived at the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”
Hill, a five-time All-Pro, is coming off a standout 2023 season where he was a strong MVP candidate. He ended the year with 119 receptions, 1,799 receiving yards, and 13 touchdowns, leading the league in both receiving yards and touchdowns. As he embarks on his third season with the Dolphins, the team is still in pursuit of its first playoff victory.
