The Miami Dolphins haven’t often been at full strength on offense during the 2024 NFL season, and it appears there are questions about whether their skill position groups will be intact in Week 10.

Tyreek Hill, the team’s No. 1 receiver, is dealing with an injury that held him out of Dolphins practice on Friday. That is leaving many Miami fans and fantasy football owners to wonder whether Hill will be able to suit up in Week 10 or if he will require a week off to get right.

Here’s what to know about Hill’s injury and his status for Week 10.

Tyreek Hill injury update

Hill was a non-participant at Dolphins practice on Friday while dealing with a wrist injury. Neither Hill nor the Dolphins provided an update on his status beyond that.

Hill wasn’t on Miami’s injury report for Thursday’s practice. He was listed as a full participant during the session, the first of the week during which Miami was required to submit an injury report. So, it appears Hill’s malady is new.

The Dolphins are playing on ‘Monday Night Football’ against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, so Miami still has to submit an injury report after the team’s practice on Saturday. That will tell Dolphins fans and fantasy owners alike a lot more about Hill’s status for the game than his absence on Friday will.

Is Tyreek Hill playing Week 10 vs. Rams?

It isn’t yet clear whether Hill’s injury will prevent him from playing for the Dolphins against the Rams in Week 10. Miami did not provide an update on Hill’s status after Friday’s practice, which provided little transparency about the injury’s severity.

It also isn’t clear whether the Dolphins were merely giving Hill a rest day, as teams often do with veterans. Miami gave the 30-year-old a rest day ahead of its Week 9 game, when he was also listed with a foot injury, so it’s possible this could be a similar situation for the veteran pass-catcher.

That said, Hill not earning the ‘rest’ designation on the Week 10 injury report dumps some cold water on that theory. That’s especially true considering that Terron Armstead, Calais Campbell and Jordan Poyer missed Thursday’s practice, largely for rest-related reasons.

Hill’s status at Miami’s Saturday practice will be critical in helping determine whether he will be ruled fully healthy, questionable, doubtful or out for Monday’s contest. His fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his status and be prepared to grab a backup option from the waiver wire if the star speedster isn’t able to suit up.

But at present, it’s too early to tell how severe Hill’s injury is.

Dolphins WR depth chart

The Dolphins have just five receivers on their 53-man roster right now, including Hill. They are as follows:

Tyreek Hill
Jaylen Waddle
Odell Beckham Jr.
Malik Washington
Dee Eskridge

Waddle is the No. 1 option if Hill has to miss time while Beckham and Washington would step into larger roles within the receiving corps. The team could also get veteran receiver River Cracraft back from a shoulder injury; he could play a key role in replacing Hill.

In total, the Dolphins have seen 10 different receivers log snaps this season. If Cracraft returns and plays in Week 10, that number will increase to 11.
