Hill has brace on hand

The Dolphins have another injury concern, this time with one of their star players. According to multiple reporters on the scene, receiver Tyreek Hill was on the field for Tuesday’s practice but did catch passes while wearing a brace on his right hand.

Head coach Mike McDaniel is not slated to speak with the media again until Wednesday — which is when he will presumably be asked about Hill’s injury.

Miami is already dealing with several injuries at multiple positions. Notably, receiver Odell Beckham Jr. has not practiced during training camp while on the physically unable to perform list with an undisclosed injury.

Hill agreed to a revised contract with the Dolphins earlier this month. Last season, he led the league with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdowns on 119 catches.

 

Head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters at his Wednesday morning press conference before a joint practice with the Buccaneers that Hill is dealing with a thumb injury.

“Tyreek could practice today. However, there’s also times that, because of the timing of where their bodies are at, kind of puts them at risk to get further injury,” McDaniel said. “From a medical standpoint, you’re just trying to let something cool down so you don’t have something happen at the expense of regular-season games. So, he’s been very active, but we’re trying to make sure ... we keep him out of harm’s way.

“He’ll be around, but he won’t be participating in team [drills].”

The Dolphins are in Tampa to practice with the Bucs before their preseason game on Friday night. McDaniel said he’s planning to have some starters play in the game but not all.
