The incident that saw Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill handcuffed and detained before the game with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday is mushrooming.
Defensive lineman Calais Campbell said after the 20-17 win that he was also handcuffed and detained during the situation.
Dolphins DL Calais Campbell just told me he was detained in handcuffs by police this morning trying to deescalate the Tyreek Hill matter. He says never in his 17-year career or life has he had anything like that happen.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington also spoke to HIll.
I asked Tyreek Hill why he believes police put him in handcuffs: “I have no idea. I wasn’t disrespecting. I didn’t cuss.” When told the police officer has been placed on administrative leave, Hill says, “That should tell you all you need to know.”

I asked Hill why police pulled him over: “They said I was speeding. Reckless driving or whatever.” He says he was taught in those situations to put his hands on the wheel and listen. He says he believes he was respectful & did not use his name to try to get out of the situation.
