Is Tyreek Hill playing today? Latest on Dolphins WR for season opener vs Jaguars

Tyreek Hill is one of the best players in the NFL. The speedy wide receiver is a perennial Pro Bowler and the primary offensive threat on arguably the fastest offense in the league. Hill had a career year in 2023 and will be aiming for more of the same in 2024.

Let's examine Hill's injury status ahead of the Dolphins' 2024 season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.

Is Tyreek Hill playing today?

Yes, Tyreek Hill is playing in today's game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The superstar wide receiver doesn't appear on the Dolphins' final injury report ahead of their Week 1 matchup. Thus, except if something happens between now and kickoff, Tyreek Hill will be catching passes from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa at Hard Rock Stadium.

However, the Dolphins will be without wide receiver Malik Washington, who is dealing with a quadriceps injury. Washington was a limited participant in Wednesday and Thursday's training sessions but did not participate in Friday's session. He is listed as out on the Dolphins' website ahead of the Jaguars showdown.

Dolphins vs. Jaguars: How to watch Week 1 game

The Miami Dolphins open their 2024 season with a home game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins made the playoffs in 2023, but they were defeated in the wild-card round by eventual Super Bowl champions, the Kansas City Chiefs. Tyreek Hill and Co. will be looking to start the year with a statement victory against the Jaguars in front of their fans.

Jacksonville, on the other hand, did not make the playoffs last season. The franchise suffered one of the most spectacular capitulations in recent memory and was edged out of the playoff picture in the closing weeks. The team's fans would expect a better showing in 2024, especially since it has locked star quarterback Trevor Lawrence on a long-term contract extension.
