NFL round-up: Hill dislocates knee in Dolphins win
Read the full article on post.
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was rushed to the hospital after dislocating his knee during his team’s 27-21 win over the New York Jets.
Hill was injured in the third quarter of Monday night’s victory – Miami’s first of the season – after making a catch near the Jets’ sideline.
As he planted his left foot, his knee appeared to twist while being tackled to the ground.
During a post-game press conference, coach Mike McDaniel confirmed the team would learn more about Hill’s injury on Tuesday local time.
“He immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good, just make sure the guys get this win,'” McDaniel said.
“He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I’ve ever seen, such a terrible experience.”
Players from both teams took a knee as medical staff attended to him.
He was later carted off the field and taken to a nearby hospital for evaluation.
McDaniel said Hill – who was laughing and joking as he was removed from the field – helped inspire his team-mates to press on with the game.
“We’ve talked a lot about all the stuff Tyreek has done this off-season, a big portion of that is leading by example and connecting with his team-mates,” he said.
“He kind of utilised that connectivity to make sure his team was finishing on the right end.”
Tight end Darren Waller, playing in his first NFL game in nearly two years, caught a pair of touchdown passes.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw for 177 yards, completing 17 of 25 passes without a turnover as he moved to 7-0 against the Jets.
The Dolphins improve to 1-3, while the Jets remain win-less at 0-4.
Elsewhere, the Denver Broncos snapped a two-game losing streak with a 28-3 win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
JK Dobbins rushed for 101 yards on 16 carries, marking Denver’s first 100-yard rushing performance since 2022.
Denver quarterback Bo Nix ran for a touchdown and threw for two more, totalling 326 yards in the air.
The Broncos, who improved to 2-2, will next face the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles.
