Hill restructured his contract with the Dolphins on Friday to convert his $10 million roster bonus into a $24.84 million bonus and his $16 million salary into a $1.17 million salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
What it means:
Hill's restructured opens up about $18 million in cap space for Miami as the team prepares to tackle free agency. The star wideout remains under contract for the Dolphins for the next three seasons after having but together a career 119-1,710-8 receiving like last year. By all accounts, Hill looks to be in prime position for another high-end fantasy season in Year 2 of coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, with Tua Tagovailoa primed to return as his starting quarterback.
Hill caught seven of 15 targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round. He also rushed two times for five yards.
What it means:
Hill led Miami in all major receiving categories, but his output was limited compared to its usual level as fill-in quarterback Skylar Thompson averaged just 4.9 yards per attempt while throwing two interceptions. Despite being subjected to a revolving door of signal callers in his first season with the Dolphins, Hill still racked up career highs in catches (119), targets (170) and receiving yards (1,710) while totaling eight touchdowns to boot. With unmatched, game-breaking speed, Hill should remain a dominant force in 2023, when Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is expected to return as the team's starting quarterback.
Hill brought in two of five targets for 23 yards in the Dolphins' 11-6 win over the Jets on Sunday.
What it means:
It was a forgettable afternoon overall for Hill on an individual level, although the overriding storyline naturally was the Dolphins' ability to secure a wild-card spot with the victory. Hill exited the game at one point with an ankle issue but was able to return, but he'll head into next weekend's road wild-card matchup against the Bills with a combined 6-78 line over the final two games of the regular season.
Hill (ankle) has returned to Sunday's game against the Jets, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
What it means:
The wideout was previously forced out of the contest with an ankle issue, but he's back in and should resume his key role in Miami's passing offense versus New York.
Hill was forced out of Sunday's game against the Jets with an ankle injury.
What it means:
Before leaving the contest, Hill caught two of his four targets for 23 yards. In his absence, River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma are candidates to see added Week 18 wideout snaps for the Dolphins.
Tyreek Hill (ankle) questionable to return for Dolphins in Week 18
What it means:
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is considered questionable to return Sunday in the team's Week 18 game against the New York Jets.
Hill is dealing with an ankle injury. As a result, the team has deemed him questionable to return for the final 40-plus minutes of Sunday's must-win contest. Trent Sherfield and River Cracraft should see more work as long as Hill is unavailable.
Before exiting, Hill had 2 catches on 4 targets for 23 yards.
