For those asking about a potential injury to Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill, there’s now an answer to your concerns.
At one point late in the game, CBS broadcaster Tony Romo pointed out that Hill came up a bit lame following a play. He pulled up and grabbed at his hamstring a little bit, raising some concern that the star wideout had suffered an injury.
After the game, Andy Reid only provided updates on Mike Remmers and Charvarius Ward, suggesting that Hill escaped injury-free. Now we have confirmation that Hill avoided injury. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapaport, Hill merely was dealing with a cramp and didn’t suffer any injury during Sunday’s game.
When #Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill pulled up and grabbed his leg while helping seal the win over the #Dolphins, it wasn’t a hamstring injury. Just a cramp. Hill should be fine.

Hill posted three catches for 79 yards, one rush for 32 yards and two touchdowns against the Dolphins on Sunday. He had a crucial late-game fourth-down catch that helped ice the game.
It’s unsurprising to see Hill cramp up playing in 80-degree weather in Miami. His hydration was probably slightly different the week prior when he’d played in 38-degree temperatures with windchill in Kansas City. Andy Reid has also previously harped on how much these guys run during the course of a game, even when they’re not getting the ball on every play.
It’s safe to say that Hill will be back out there in Week 15, en route to setting the Chiefs’ all-time receiving touchdown record. He needs just two more receiving touchdowns in the next three weeks to pass Dwayne Bowe’s record of 15 receiving touchdowns, set back in 2010.
