Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill played in Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams with what he described as a torn ligament in his wrist.
The eight-time Pro Bowler was a game-time decision heading into “Monday Night Football” and missed some practice time recently. While Hill told ESPN he had been dealing with wrist issues since training camp, he claims the events that transpired as he was detained by police near the Dolphins home stadium in September exacerbated the injury.
Hill added that he previously underwent an MRI which confirmed a torn ligament in his wrist.
Hill added that he decided to keep quiet about the injury prior to this week. But, “that arrest messed me up,” he told ESPN. “[not going to] let it stop me.”
Miami Police performed a traffic stop on Sept. 8, just hours before the Dolphins season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars was scheduled to kick off. Hill was on his way to the game at the time.
The Dolphins picked up their third win of the season on Monday and remain alive in the race for a spot in the AFC playoffs. They will host the Las Vegas Raiders on Nov. 17.
