Tyreek Hill may not be a Kansas City Chief anymore, but one of his former teammates still worries about him. On Monday, the Miami Dolphins wide receiver brutally contorted his leg and knee after being tackled while converting a ten-yard catch on third down against the New York Jets.

With doctors fearing that it would end his 2025 season, star quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who had "Cheetah" as his leading wideout from 2018 to 2021, posted this message on his social media account:

Prayers up man..... (two praying hands emojis)

Initial diagnosis of the injury indicated that Hill, who ended the night with six catches for 67 yards, had dislocated his knee.

The Dolphins, who were leading 10-3 at that point, would still go on to win 27-21. Tight end Darren Waller played a key role, catching two touchdowns in his return to play after initially retiring in 2024.

Later during the broadcast, a short scene manifested of Tyreek Hill on his phone, desperately trying to call his family as he was being wheeled out of Hard Rock Stadium:

Hill was seen happily clapping as he was getting carted off the field. Former Dolphins OT Terron Armstead had contacted Hill in the hospital to check up on his former teammate.

"I just got a FaceTime call from my brother @cheetah‼️First thing he said “man I’m just happy we got that win”!! He’s in good spirits and said he was laughing through the pain, to avoid passing out!! 🤯🤯 crazy! 🤣 Praying for best news possible and speedy recovery! 🙏🏾🙌🏾💙," Armstead wrote on X.

NFL analyst Matt Verderame believes this is a major blow that may deplete the Dolphins’ offensive core that already lacks additional receiving weapons beside him (and, to a lesser extent, Jaylen Waddle):

“Outside of fellow star receiver Jaylen Waddle and his 17 receptions for 175 yards, there’s little else. In fact, the next highest yardage total from a receiver is Malik Washington’s 47 yards. Not exactly a suitable replacement for Hill’s talents.”

It also ends any trade rumors with him and could also affect his free agency should he either be released or opt out of his contract, and also given his legal history that has most recently involved domestic abuse allegations by his estranged wife Keeta Vaccaro:

“If a team can get comfortable with all of that, there’s still the football question of whether Hill will come back anywhere near the same player he was before Monday night’s injury.”

The Dolphins’ next game will be at the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Kickoff is at 1 pm ET on Fox.
