A vulnerable stage of the Dolphins’ season has begun. Tyreek Hill, a prominent receiver, has an ankle injury. (Hill stated he had “been dealing with some ankle injuries this whole season” following Monday’s loss to the Titans. Only the weeks three, thirteen, and fourteen of the injury report indicated that he had a “ankle.”) His participation was limited on Monday night due to a combination hip-drop and horse-collar tackle that brought him down.
What then occurs this weekend? According to coach Mike McDaniel, he’s day-to-day. The Dolphins will soon have to choose whether to allow Tyreek to play despite an ankle injury.
He’ll be itching to leave. It is obvious that he aspires to be the first player to reach 2,000 receiving yards. Even though he constantly plays it down, he undoubtedly craves the chance to become the first receiver to be awarded NFL MVP. It will be considerably more difficult to accomplish either if he misses Sunday’s game against the Jets. (On the other hand, his absence might demonstrate his actual worth.)
The Dolphins have much loftier objectives. For the first time in fifty years, they wish to win a Super Bowl. They’ll need a fully recovered Tyreek Hill to accomplish that. So, in order to get Hill fit for the playoffs, it might be better for the team to give him this weekend off, or perhaps longer.
A difficult balance. The Dolphins can never take anything for granted, even in addition to the significance of keeping a valuable player pleased. Their hold on the AFC East has loosened all of a sudden. They might still not make it to the postseason at all.
Bills, Jets, Cowboys, and Ravens. Without Hill, they haven’t been able to defeat a formidable club; how would they fare against the Cowboys, Ravens, or Bills?
It will be intriguing to watch if this develops into a significant Hard Knocks plot. If it’s a real reality show, this will be this week’s main topic of discussion.
