Tyreek Hill will play on Monday night vs Rams “if his body lets him”, according to Mike McDaniel
The Miami Dolphins could be without one of the most dangerous playmakers in the NFL when they face the Los Angeles Rams on Monday Night Football. Hill has missed practice with a wrist injury, and head coach Mike McDaniel said the star receiver will play “if his body lets him”.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is dealing with a wrist injury that is “heating up” and has forced him to miss practice time.
HC Mike McDaniel told local reporters “if his body lets him, we’ll see” so there is some uncertainty on Tyreek’s availability for Monday vs. Rams.

The Dolphins have no shortage of playmakers on the offensive side of the ball whether or not Hill is able to suit up. This is especially true in terms of flexibility and the fact several of their players can be receiving threats from the slot—a key weakness of the Rams defense. Jonnu Smith has over 300 yards as a tight end. De’Von Achane leads the Dolphins in receptions and can play from the slot. Jaylen Waddle has stepped up big-time in Hill’s absence in previous stints.
The Rams need a win in Week 10 in order to get over the .500 hill. They’ve made an impressive comeback after starting the season 1-4, but they need to keep their three-game streak alive in order to keep pace in the NFC West with the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. LA cannot overlook a 2-6 Miami team, even if they are without one of their top receiving threats.
