Team news: Miami Dolphins

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said Thursday he may undergo surgery on a wrist injury that limited him at practice last week, but any procedure wouldn't be until after the 2024 season ends.

Hill said he first injured his wrist in August, during a joint practice with the Washington Commanders. The injury worsened over the first nine weeks of the season, to a point where Hill was held out of the Dolphins' final two practices of Week 10 and carried a questionable tag into Miami's game against the Los Angeles Rams.

The Dolphins have a very winnable game this week against the Raiders, but we have to consider what the team, and Hill himself, will think about getting the surgery out of the way if they are eventually pushed out of playoff contention. Later in the article Hill mentioned, "It's going to get worse the more I play, but I got to [gut] it out for my team."

Hill is a WR1 this week, but his long-term view for the fantasy playoffs is a little murky right now.

Tyreek Hill said he has a torn ligament in the wrist but has been playing through it.

Hill told Salters the wrist really became an issue when he was arrested and taken to the ground by the police earlier this year. He added that the arrest "messed me up" but he wasn't going to let it stop him. For now, it looks like Hill will continue to play through the injury, but the Dolphins are just 3-6 on the season, so it's possible with another loss or two, Hill could get shut down to heal the injury and come back in 2025. Hill only had four targets in Week 10 against the Rams, catching three for just 16 yards, but he did have a touchdown. He also rushed twice for 11 yards.

The Dolphins will have star receiver Tyreek Hill when they play the Rams tonight.

Hill is officially active after he was questionable for the Week 10 contest with a wrist injury.

The story added Lisa Salters of ESPN reported on Monday that Hill underwent an MRI that showed a torn ligament in his wrist. Hill noted that he was dealing with a wrist issue during training camp that was aggravated during his detainment by police before Miami’s season opener on Sept. 8.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is questionable for Monday night against the Rams with a wrist injury.

Hill was added to the injury report Friday. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Hill will play "if his body lets him." This is working towards a game-time decision, exactly what fantasy owners don't want to see with a top player on Monday night. Hill is currently our WR25 for the week.

With Tyreek looking like a full-go, and Tua Tagovailoa back under center, he should be considered a top-10 option in basically any matchup.

The Dolphins officially activated quarterback Tua Tagovailoa from injured reserve Saturday.

The move was a formality after head coach Mike McDaniel announced Friday Tagovailoa cleared concussion protocol and will start Sunday against the Cardinals. He is still listed as questionable but is fully expected to play. The Dolphins hope Tagovailoa’s return will give them the spark they need on offense. Tim Boyle was released in a corresponding move.

Tua Tagovailoa has been cleared through concussion protocol.

He will play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.

We are so back. Tua has a great matchup, and can be considered as a low-end QB1 for managers who are looking to stream him in his first game back. Hill returns to WR1 consideration with the upside for a top-3 weekly finish, while Waddle managers can shake off the cobwebs and stick him in as a WR2.

This is fantastic news for the Dolphins offense (particularly Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle) in what should be a good matchup against the Cardinals defense. Tua can be considered a high end QB2 in his first week back.

Tua Tagovailoa is due back on the practice field this week.

Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that the team will begin the process of bringing Tagovailoa off of injured reserve. Tagovailoa has been on the list since suffering a concussion in Week Two and he will remain in the concussion protocol until he takes part in practices without feeling any symptoms during or after the workouts. If he does get cleared, he’ll be on track to play against the Cardinals.

McDaniel said the plan is for Tua to practice on Wednesday. He'll need to get through the practice symptom-free. “The clearing doesn’t come until after some of the activity. We’re obviously doing so in the hope of everything going well so that he can play Sunday, but that will be to be determined,” McDaniel said in the story. The story added, according to McDaniel, “medical experts have deemed it safe” for Tagovailoa to return to the field at this point and said Tagovailoa would have to answer whether he will wear a Guardian Cap upon his return to game action.

Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) is set to practice this week and could play in Week 8 against the Cardinals.

Tagovailoa is eligible to return to practice this week following his stint on injured reserve. The Dolphins have struggled on offense without Tagovailoa. Tyler Huntley will start Sunday against the Colts. Tagovailoa reportedly has no lingering effects from the concussion he suffered in Week 2.
