Tyreek Hill might be the fastest man in football, but even the Cheetah can’t outrun injuries forever. After playing through a nagging wrist issue all season, Hill finally hit the operating table to fix ligament damage in his left wrist—an injury dating back to an intense joint practice with Washington in August 2024. Instead of calling it quits and getting surgery right away, Hill did what superstars do: he powered through. But the toll was undeniable, leading to his first sub-1,000-yard season since 2019.
Now, with the surgery in the rearview mirror, head coach Mike McDaniel is putting Dolphins fans at ease. “It wasn’t broken, just needed some repairs,” he assured. The plan? Hill spends spring running, staying in shape, and letting his wrist heal before catching passes again in the summer. No rush, no panic—just a well-calculated rehab process to ensure Miami’s most explosive weapon is back at full strength for training camp.

His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, doubled down on the optimism, shutting down any doomsday scenarios. ‘He’ll be ready‘. And let’s be real—Tyreek Hill missing any real game time would be a nightmare for Miami. Even in a ‘down year,’ he torched defenses for 959 yards and 6 touchdowns. With another season alongside Tua Tagovailoa, he’ll be looking to get back to breaking ankles, snatching souls, and maybe even chasing that elusive 2,000-yard mark.
Miami‘s offense is built on speed, chaos, and explosive plays—and nobody embodies that more than Hill. His recovery isn’t just important; it’s mission-critical for the Dolphins’ playoff aspirations. But if history has taught us anything, it’s this: when Hill is healthy, secondaries don’t stand a chance.
Jevon Holland: A star on the brink of a payday or a Dolphins farewell?
While Dolphins fans were busy refreshing X for Tyreek Hill injury updates, McDaniel dropped another nugget—this time about defensive star Jevon Holland. And his message? Clear as day: Holland is about to get paid.
“Jevon has earned the right to test the market,” McDaniel said, giving his star safety a well-deserved nod of respect. Since stepping onto the field as a rookie, Holland has been a game-changer—a heat-seeking missile in Miami’s secondary who delivers big hits, clutch takeaways, and leadership beyond his years. And now, with free agency looming, teams are lining up like kids at an ice cream truck to see if they can lure him away.
Mike McDaniel on S Javon Holland
“Javon has earned the right to test to market. This is the guy who has been a contributor from his rookie year on. That process has started and he’s earned that.”
He added that they would like to have him back if the business side works out…

Of course, the Dolphins would love to keep him, but here’s the catch—money talks. Miami’s salary cap situation is already a puzzle, and with Holland’s stock soaring, it won’t be easy to match what other teams might offer. If some deep-pocketed franchise drops a massive bag in front of him, Miami might have no choice but to watch him walk.
Holland, ever the strategist, is keeping a close eye on how the Dolphins handle things. Social media detectives have already spotted him subtly engaging with posts that suggest Miami might be preparing for life without him. It’s all part of the business—loyalty is great, but generational wealth is better.

So, will the Dolphins find a way to keep their defensive centerpiece? Or will Holland cash in elsewhere? One thing’s for sure—his market is heating up fast, and the decision won’t be an easy one. It’s safe to say, free agency is about to get wild.
