“It’s going to get worse before it gets better,” Hill said. “It’s something I’ve just got to manage and work through.”
Hill suffered the injury in the Dolphins’ 21-19 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday Night Football. He finished the game with seven catches for 160 yards and a touchdown, but he was clearly in pain after the game.
An MRI on Friday revealed that Hill has a sprain of the ulnar collateral ligament in his wrist. The UCL is a ligament that helps to stabilize the wrist joint.
Hill is expected to miss at least the next four games, and it is possible that he could miss more time. The Dolphins have a bye in Week 9, so Hill could potentially miss up to six games.
Hill’s absence will be a major blow to the Dolphins’ offense. He is one of the most dynamic playmakers in the NFL, and he is a key part of Miami’s passing game.
Without Hill, the Dolphins will need to rely more on Jaylen Waddle, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Trent Sherfield in the passing game.
Hill’s injury is a major setback for the Dolphins, but they are still in contention for a playoff berth. The Dolphins are 3-3 this season, and they are in second place in the AFC East.
The Dolphins will need to find a way to win without Hill, but they are confident that they can do it.
