Tyreek Hill Released by Dolphins, Vows Comeback Despite ACL & LCL Tears; Chiefs Reunion Eyed

Eight-time Pro Bowler Tyreek Hill has been released by the Miami Dolphins, saving the team $22.8M. Hill, who turns 32 in March, suffered a season-ending dislocated left knee, ACL, and other ligament tears in Week 4 of 2025, and requires additional LCL surgery. Despite the injury, he vowed on Instagram, "The Cheetah will be back." His Week 1 2026 clearance is uncertain, with rehab potentially taking 9-12+ months. Former Chiefs teammate Chris Jones is recruiting him back to Kansas City, while the Chargers (with ex-Dolphins OC Mike McDaniel) are also strong contenders. Hill amassed 4,733 yards and 28 TDs in four Miami seasons.
