Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill (wrist) plans to play, claims surgery on table

Tyreek Hill

Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is running the fine line between hurt and injured, claiming Thursday he plans to delay surgery for a wrist injury to be part of Miami’s late-season push.

Hill was limited in practice on Thursday but was available to media and said he plans to take the field when the Dolphins (3-6) play the Raiders (2-7) on Sunday.

On the injury report for the first time last week, Hill was listed as questionable before playing Monday night. He caught a touchdown pass and finished with three receptions for 16 yards in Miami’s 23-15 win over the Rams.

“Surgery was brought up, and it was talked about, whenever I talked to a few of the doctors. But it’s my call at the end of the day, and my call is to stay out on the field,” Hill said Thursday. “I’m here. I’m locked in no matter what, no matter how I feel. Even if I’ve got to cut my wrist off, I’m still out there. Because I love the game of football.”

After Monday’s game, head coach Mike McDaniel said Hill’s decision to play in Los Angeles wasn’t a surprise to teammates.

“He’s a warrior,” McDaniel said.

Hill scored for the first time since Week 1 — he also posted his only 100-yard game of the season with 130 yards against Jacksonville back in the September opener.

He said the injury first popped up in that game and was aggravated recently while run-blocking.

“It’s football,” Hill said. “No excuses.”
