Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill won’t have wrist surgery during 2024 season

Tyreek Hill will continue to play through the pain of a torn ligament in his wrist

Miami Dolphins fleet receiver Tyreek Hill has been playing with a torn ligament in his wrist. Despite the discomfort, Hill says he will not have surgery until after the season, if he does undergo a procedure.

“At the end of the day, I just got to suck it up and just deal with the pain,” Hill said Thursday. “It’s going to get worse the more I play, but I got to [gut] it out for my team. I’m here, I’m locked in no matter what, no matter how I feel. So even if I’ve got to cut my wrist off, I’m still out there because I love the game of football.

“Surgery was brought up and it was talked about whenever I talked to a few of the doctors, but it’s my call at the end of the day, and my call is to stay out on the field.”

This has been a sluggish year for Miami’s offense and Hill.

When Tua Tagovailoa went out for several weeks with a concussion, the offense went stagnant.

Hill is coming off three consecutive 100-catch seasons. After nine games in 2024, he has 37 catches for 462 yards and two touchdowns.

Miami Dolphins star running back Mercury Morris dies at 77

Dolphins great RB Mercury Morris dies at 77

One of the great players in Miami Dolphins history, Eugene “Mercury” Morris has died at the age of 77.

His family released a statement:

“Beyond the field, Mercury was a devoted father, a loving brother, a loyal friend, and a pillar in the community,” his family wrote in a statement. “His presence extended far beyond football, as he touched the lives of many throughout his time in Miami.”

Morris was the starting halfback Don Shula utilized in Miami’s back-to-back title seasons of 1972 and 1973. Morris led the Dolphins in rushing touchdowns in both of those seasons, finishing with an NFL-best 12 in 1972 and then 10 more in 1973.

Those two seasons — the best in Dolphins’ history — were the best of Morris’ eight-year career. He rushed for a career-high 1,000 yards in 1972, then ran for 954 more along with a league-best 6.4 yards per carry the following season.

Overall, Morris rushed for 4,133 yards in his NFL career.

Former Cowboys WR Dez Bryant has bold take about Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa

Former #Cowboys WR Dez Bryant tweeted a bold take about #Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa during Miami’s loss to the #Bills on Thursday night.

The Miami Dolphins lost their Week 2 matchup against the Buffalo Bills on Thursday night, but their defeat at the hands of a division rival wasn’t necessarily the worst part of the game for fans in South Flordia.

Instead, much of the talk about the matchup’s outcome was centered around Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who was concussed after running head-first into Bills defensive back Damar Hamlin.

Tagovailoa has developed a history of sustaining concussions since entering the NFL in 2020, and while he is one of the most exciting quarterbacks in the league, some former players are growing concerned about his long-term health.

Former Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant took to Twitter on Thursday night and made his thoughts on the matter clear:

Though it seems unlikely that he will take Bryant’s advice and retire, Tagovailoa will be under the microscope of fans and the media moving forward as debates about the ethics of his ongoing participation continue through the rest of the season.
