Will Tyreek Hill play in the NFL this year? What his agent said

play

Tyreek Hill has remained unsigned since being released by the Miami Dolphins on Feb. 16 after four seasons with the team.

Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, doesn’t believe his client’s status will change in advance of the 2026 NFL season.

“I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season,” Rosenhaus said when asked about Hill during a Friday, Aug. 21, appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show.”

Rosenhaus’ comments come as Hill continues to recover from a several ligament tears, including an ACL, and a dislocation of his left knee he suffered in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season. He had to be carted off the field in an air cast because of his injury and faced a long road to recovery, which was part of the reason the Dolphins opted to release him.

That said, Rosenhaus provided a positive update on the 32-year-old’s recovery from the significant injury.

“He sent me video yesterday of him running hills. He looked great,” Rosenhaus said of Hill. “And I said to him, ‘You look great.’ And he said, ‘I still have some work to do. I’m not ready yet.'”

That’s part of the reason Rosenhaus is making it clear he is not trying to rush Hill back from injury ahead of the 2026 season.

“I am not pressuring Tyreek, nor am I setting a timeline for him,” Rosenhaus explained. “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.”

Rosenhaus also referred to Hill as a “future Hall of Famer” and said the 32-year-old has “a lot of good football still in him.”

“This was a devastating injury, but everyone’s gonna be so impressed when they see how well Tyreek has rehabbed,” Rosenhaus said.

“It’s not hyperbole for me to predict that he will play this season,” he added. “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.”

Hill recorded 21 catches for 265 yards and a touchdown in 2025 before suffering his season-ending injury. In 2024, his last fully healthy season, he recorded 81 catches for 959 yards and six touchdowns, snapping a streak of four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons.

Any team that eventually pursues Hill will be hoping his knee injury didn’t sap him of his impressive speed. He has averaged 13.9 yards per reception across his 10-year NFL career to date and logged four of the 15 fastest ball-carrier speeds during the 2023 NFL season, per the NFL’s Next Gen Stats.
