Tyreek Hill active, Alec Ingold among Dolphins’ 7 inactives vs. Rams

Tyreek Hill is good to go Monday night, but the Dolphins will be without a different Pro Bowler.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill will play Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

Also ready to go are safety Jevón Holland and wide receiver River Cracraft, who were both questionable as well.

With kickoff 90 minutes away, the Dolphins announced seven players as inactive for the Week 10 contest. Pro Bowl fullback Alec Ingold and six others were ruled out:

Dolphins inactives

  • RB Jeff Wilson Jr.
  • CB Ethan Bonner
  • FB Alec Ingold

  • LB Mohamed Kamara
  • OL Andrew Meyer
  • WR Dee Eskridge

Rams inactives

  • QB Stetson Bennett

  • DL Neville Gallimore
  • DL Desjuan Johnson

The Dolphins will also be without right tackle Austin Jackson, who was ruled out by the team Saturday, but isn’t on the list of inactives because he was moved to the injured reserve earlier in the day Monday.

Veteran offensive tackle Kendall Lamm is expected to start in Jackson’s place.

Rams-Dolphins inactives: Who’s playing, who isn’t on Monday night

Rams starters Kam Curl, Kevin Dotson and Christian Rozeboom are all officially active, as is Dolphins star Tyreek Hill

The Los Angeles Rams listed three players as questionable to play against the Miami Dolphins on Monday night, also ruling out both Rob Havenstein and Neville Gallimore.

Despite being questionable, Sean McVay said he expected Kam Curl and Kevin Dotson both to play against Miami, and they’re officially active. Christian Rozeboom, who popped up on the injury report Saturday with a neck injury that limited him in practice, is also active after being questionable.

Stetson Bennett, Cody Schrader, Dylan McMahon and Desjuan Johnson are the four inactives in addition to Havenstein and Gallimore. Also, Jordan Whittington is active for the first time since Week 7, sitting out the last two games with a shoulder injury.

For the Dolphins, Tyreek Hill is officially active. He was questionable to play due to a wrist injury, but he’s ready to roll against the Rams. The same goes for Jevon Holland, who was also questionable. He’s active and will play, which is big for Miami’s secondary.

Tyreek Hill says September police incident exacerbated wrist injury

Tyreek Hill says he has a torn ligament in his wrist that was made worse by MDPD officers in September.

Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has a torn ligament in his wrist, he told ESPN’s Lisa Salters on Monday. According to Hill, the injury that suffered in August was aggravated by a September incident with Miami-Dade Police Department officers.

“He said it’s something that he’s really being dealing with all season long,” Salters said of the injury on ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown. “He said it first started in training camp, but then he said it got re-aggravated when he was arrested right before the opening game of the season. He was taken to the ground by police … he said that that’s where the further damage was done.

“Tyreek said that he’s had an MRI and that the MRI showed that he has a torn ligament that he said that he’s playing through. He said ‘I just really don’t know what to do, because I’ve never really been injured before. I’m going to keep playing. Nothing’s going to stop me.'”

While Salters said that Hill was arrested in September, he was actually handcuffed and detained, but never arrested by MDPD officers. Video of the incident showed Hill being pulled from his car hours before the Dolphins’ Week 1 game and twice forced to the ground by officers.

Hill first suffered the injury in a joint practice with the Washington Commanders in August. The Dolphins first called it a thumb injury and he wore a brace on his right hand for much of training camp. At the beginning of September, Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Hill had “no setbacks” and was ready to play the regular season.

After practicing fully Thursday, Hill sat out practice Friday and Saturday due to his wrist injury “heating up,” according to McDaniel. He was questionable for a Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Rams, but Hill is active and will play through the injury.

Is Tyreek Hill playing today? Injury updates for Dolphins WR

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury. Here are the latest updates.

(This story was updated to add new information.)

Tyreek Hill didn’t appear on the injury report at all Thursday, but he didn’t participate in practice Friday or Saturday and his status for Week 10 is in doubt.

The injury was first suffered in August and flared up this week.

Tyreek Hill injury update

Hill is officially active for the Monday night contest, although ESPN’s Lisa Salters said on Monday Night Countdown that an MRI has shown he suffered a torn ligament earlier this year.

According to Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, an eventual surgery isn’t out of the question for the receiver.

How long will Tyreek Hill be out?

Hill hasn’t missed a game in 2024 and is playing through the injury.

Dolphins WR depth chart

The Dolphins are lacking in receiver depth if Hill is unavailable at any point in 2024. While the team has the typically productive Jaylen Waddle on the other side, finding another reliable pass catcher has been a challenge.

Behind Hill and Waddle on the depth chart are veteran Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Malik Washington. However, those two have just three receptions each for 15 and 17 yards, respectively.

There’s also River Cracraft, who hasn’t played a game this season and activated from the injured reserve in time to play Monday.

Is Tyreek Hill playing today vs. Rams? Injury updates for Dolphins WR

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury. Here are the latest updates ahead of Monday’s game against the Rams.

Tyreek Hill popped up on the Miami Dolphins’ injury report on Friday with a wrist injury, causing him to miss the last two practices of the week. It’s an injury he’s been dealing with this season but it’s seemingly become a bigger problem.

Unquestionably the Dolphins’ top receiver, there’s a chance he’ll miss Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, which would be a big break for Chris Shula’s defense. Officially listed as questionable, Hill’s status appears to be up in the air as game time approaches.

Here’s the latest on the Dolphins’ star wideout ahead of the Rams’ big matchup at SoFi Stadium.

Tyreek Hill injury update

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network provided a little bit of an update Monday morning, saying that Hill is going to be a “true game-time decision,” which means there’s no indication as of now whether Hill will be able to suit up against the Rams.

How long will Tyreek Hill be out?

It’s unclear how long Hill will be out for the Dolphins, as it appears to be a week-to-week injury that he aggravated in practice last week.

Dolphins WR depth chart

If Hill misses this game, Jaylen Waddle and Odell Beckham Jr. will step up as the top receivers in Miami. Rookie Malik Washington and speedster Dee Eskridge are also on the roster and could contribute if needed.

Tyreek Hill, 4 other Dolphins questionable for Week 10 vs. Rams

The Dolphins listed five players, including Tyreek Hill, as questionable to play Monday night against the Rams.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is questionable for a Week 10 game against the Los Angeles Rams, the team announced Saturday.

Early in the day on Saturday, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said the receiver had a wrist injury flare up and he’ll play Monday night against the Rams “if his body lets him.”

The only player ruled out by the Dolphins is right tackle Austin Jackson, although McDaniel also told reporters that wide receiver Dee Eskridge won’t make the trip to Los Angeles due to personal reasons.

Injury report status

Out

  • OT Austin Jackson (knee)

Questionable

  • WR River Cracraft (shoulder)
  • WR Tyreek Hill (wrist)
  • S Jevón Holland (hand/knee)
  • FB Alec Ingold (calf)
  • S Patrick McMorris (calf)

Two of the four players other than Hill who are listed as questionable, Cracraft and McMorris, are still on the injured reserve and would need to be moved to the active roster Sunday to be available to play Monday. On Saturday, the Dolphins cleared a spot on the 53-man roster by waiving defensive tackle Brandon Pili.

The Rams ruled out right tackle Rob Havenstein and listed three players, including right guard Kevin Dotson, as questionable.

Dolphins could be without their top playmaker Monday vs. Rams

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury that could force him to miss Monday’s game against the Rams

Tyreek Hill is a player who strikes fear in every cornerback who lines up across from him but the Los Angeles Rams may not have to deal with covering the star receiver on Monday night. Hill popped up with a wrist injury on Friday, causing him to miss practice.

On Saturday, Miami Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that Hill isn’t certain to play against the Rams, saying he’ll play “if his body lets him.”

“[He’s] managing something that just kind of was heating up,” McDaniel said, via Dolphins Wire. “[We’re] just trying to have it cool down. He’s doing everything possible. He’s a competitor. … If his body lets him, he’ll play. But we’ll see.”

Hill hasn’t put up the eye-popping numbers we’re used to seeing from him, in part because Tua Tagovailoa missed four games with a concussion. He has just 446 yards and a touchdown in eight games, which puts him way behind his pace of 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns a season ago.

The Rams will prepare as if Hill is going to play but there’s a very realistic possibility the eight-time Pro Bowler won’t be ready to go on Monday.

Tyreek Hill, 2 other Dolphins sit out Friday practice

Tyreek Hill missed practice Friday with a wrist injury after participating fully Thursday.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was added to the team’s injury report Friday with a wrist injury.

Hill, 30, has dealt with various ailments this season, but hasn’t missed a game. The severity of his wrist injury isn’t yet known, but the star receiver didn’t appear on the injury report Thursday.

The other concern for the Dolphins is the knee injury that has kept right tackle Austin Jackson out of back-to-back practices. If he’s unable to play Monday, veteran backup Kendall Lamm will presumably be the replacement for Jackosn in the starting lineup.

Friday participation

DNP

  • WR Dee Eskridge (personal)
  • WR Tyreek Hill (wrist)
  • OT Austin Jackson (knee)

Limited

  • OT Terron Armstead (rest/knee)
  • CB Storm Duck (ankle)
  • TE Julian Hill (shoulder)
  • S Jevón Holland (hand/knee)
  • FB Alec Ingold (calf)

  • OLB Emmanuel Ogbah (bicep)
  • DL Zach Sieler (eye)

  • WR River Cracraft (shoulder)

Along with Hill, wide receiver Dee Eskridge and cornerback Cam Smith are the new additions to the report who didn’t appear Thursday. Smith was reportedly carted off the field at practice, but told reporters after the session that he’s fine.

Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez earns high praise from All-Pro WR

Christian Gonzalez is turning heads at the highest levels

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was once again singing the praises of New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez in a Snapchat post.

Gonzalez is in the middle of a stellar season. He has recorded 40 tackles, six pass deflections and an interception on the year. His most impressive outing recently was holding New York Jets All-Pro wide receiver Davante Adams to zero catches on four targets in Week 8.

Gonzalez has also had success in guarding Hill, who recorded just two catches for 34 yards on five targets when one-on-one with the Patriots’ star corner. He has gained a reputation for guarding the top opposing wide receivers, and now, they are taking notice.

“I’ll say it again this young man got a shiny future,” Hill posted.

Gonzalez has developed into a cornerstone piece for the Patriots’ secondary. The defense has struggled at times this season, but the former Oregon standout has continued to prove why he was one of the biggest steals of the 2023 NFL draft.

Tyreek Hill: ‘We’ve got to win out from here on’

The Dolphins’ margin for error is down to zero.

The playoffs for the Miami Dolphins started in November, according to wide receiver Tyreek Hill.

“It started today,” Hill told reporters after a 30-27 loss to the Buffalo Bills, via David Furones of the Sun Sentinel. “It was that mindset today. We’ve got to win out from here on out.”

The Dolphins fell to 2-6 with their latest loss and they face an uphill climb to get back into contention in the AFC.

“If we play football like we played today, we’re going to win a lot of football games,” Dolphins defensive lineman Calais Campbell said. “The problem is that we’ve pretty much put ourselves in a position where our margin for error is zero.”

In the latter half of the 2024 season, Miami is set to face a relatively easy slate of opponents. The Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans are the only remaining games against teams with a winning record, although the 4-4 San Francisco 49ers and 4-4 Los Angeles Rams could be tough outs as well.

The Dolphins are down to nine games and may need to win at least eight of them to reach the postseason. As Hill basically said, the playoffs start now.
