Tyreek Hill has not played since September 29, 2025, when he suffered a serious left knee injury during the Miami Dolphins’ game against the New York Jets. Now 32, the eight-time Pro Bowl receiver is still working to regain the strength and speed that made him such a dangerous threat.
“We had kind of heard locally that Tyreek Hill wouldn’t really be ready to pass a physical, take the field until early to mid November,” Sweeney said. “So it’s about 10 months after doing two surgeries,” Hill explained in a rehabilitation video. Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has remained hopeful about his recovery and said in October that the receiver was close to full fitness.
Tyreek Hill’s hopes of returning to the NFL have hit another roadblock, and the latest development could make a reunion with the Kansas City Chiefs even harder to achieve. The explosive wide receiver has spent more than a year trying to recover from a devastating knee injury. Yet, despite months of rehabilitation and optimism from his agent, questions remain about his readiness to play. With the season moving forward and Kansas City looking for offensive help, Hill’s health could decide whether one of the NFL’s most talked-about potential reunions has any chance of happening. The injury involved a dislocated knee and a torn ACL, followed by surgery and a long recovery. Kansas City reporter Pete Sweeney recently offered a concerning update during a conversation with Trey Wingo. He indicated that Hill might not yet be ready to pass the medical examination required before signing with an NFL team. “My left leg is the one that I injured. I have no power in my left leg at all, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time. Talks with several teams have also reportedly taken place.
