Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is expected to play in Monday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams despite a wrist injury. Hill was listed as questionable on Friday’s injury report after missing practice on both Friday and Saturday.
Last week, Miami head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Saturday that Hill would play on Monday night “if his body lets him,” via ESPN, as Hills’ wrist injury was “heating up,” so the team wanted to “let it cool down.”
Hill To Be Active Against Rams On MNF
Hill has been a key contributor to the Dolphins’ offense this season, leading the team in receiving yards with 446. However, he has struggled to find the end zone, with only one touchdown catch.
This will be Hill’s second career matchup against the Rams. In his previous encounter, he had a standout performance for the Kansas City Chiefs, catching 10 passes for 215 yards and two touchdowns in a high-scoring game.
At various times this season, the Rams defense has struggled against versatile and particularly fast receivers. The defense is allowing 225 yards per game and has allowed a receiver to pass the century mark in five of their eight games including 175 yards allowed to the San Francisco 49ers Jauan Jennings and 180 to the Seattle Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Las Vegas Raiders Brock Bowers was seven yards away from passing 100 yards and the Packers’ top two receivers Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft put up 78 and 88 respectively against LA.
Hill and the Dolphins (2-6) face off against LA (4-4) at 8:15 p.m. ET Monday at SoFi Stadium.
