Former Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is recovering from a major knee injury that he suffered early last season, which kept him out for most of the year. Since then, he's been focused on his rehab and recovery.
However, earlier in the offseason, the Dolphins released Hill as part of their effort to reset with their new regime, led by Jeff Hafley and Jon-Eric Sullivan, running things in South Florida.
While most free agents have already found new homes, Hill is still unsigned on the market, as he continues his rehab process, but speaking with Pat McAfee yesterday, Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus provided an update on Hill's status and future.
"I don't expect Tyreek Hill to sign before the season," Rosenhaus said. "He sent me videos yesterday... of him running hills, and he looked great. I said to him, 'You look great.' He said to me, 'I still have some work to do. I'm not right ready yet.' I'm not pressuring Tyreek, nor am I setting a timeline for him. I think that what I've said to Tyreek is 'take your time. It's not when you come back, it's how you come back. We want you to come back when you feel your best.' There's no sense of urgency, timing-wise. I think this is a future Hall of Famer, who still has a lot of good football left in him. This was a devastating injury, but everyone's gonna be so impressed when they see how well Tyreek has rehabbed. It's not hyperbole for me to predict that he will play this season. When? I'm not sure, but I do think when he does sign, he will be a coveted player. He'll be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race and will certainly be successful once he signs."
From those comments, it looks like it could be a while before Hill is back on the field, but when he does, he'll be looking to join a contender and to try and win a second Super Bowl.
