BREAKING: Tyreek Hill Carted Off Field with Gruesome Knee Injury During Dolphins vs Jets Monday Night Football
Published: September 30, 2025
Miami Gardens, FL - Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a gruesome-looking leg injury in the third quarter of Miami's "Monday Night Football" game against the Jets. The injury occurred with 13:21 remaining in the third quarter when Hill caught a 10-yard pass to convert a third-and-8, but as he went to the ground out of bounds, his left leg got caught under him and bent at a very awkward angle.
The Injury: What Happened to Tyreek Hill
Hill immediately grabbed his knee and stayed down on the ground. The training staffs of both teams worked quickly to help Hill, cutting off his cleat and the tape around his ankle/foot area to get his leg into a stabilizer.
Hill's mother reportedly came down to the field to show her support as medical staff attended to the All-Pro receiver. Multiple Dolphins and Jets players shook Hill's hand or tapped him on the head as he was taken off the field, and the receiver waved to the crowd and clapped as he headed into the tunnel.
Tyreek Hill Stats Before Injury
Prior to his injury, Hill had six catches for 67 yards in the game. The Dolphins led 10-3 at the time of the injury.
2025 Season Statistics

Tyreek Hill Injury Update: Hospital Transport
Miami took Hill to the hospital almost immediately after getting him back to the locker room, with his left leg in a brace and the trainers taking him by wheelchair to the transport. The Dolphins immediately ruled out Hill and said Hill was being taken to a local hospital for imaging, evaluation and observation.
Impact on Dolphins vs Jets Game
A few plays later, tight end Darren Waller hauled in his second touchdown of the night to push Miami's lead to 17-3, giving the Dolphins breathing room in a game dominated by their defense. Miami forced three turnovers after going without one in the first three games of the season.
What This Means for the Dolphins
Losing their star receiver for the season would be terrible for this Dolphins team that has already struggled through the first quarter of the 2025 season. However, the injury makes it unlikely that the Dolphins can trade Hill during the season. The Dolphins might've actually benefitted from moving Hill if the 2025 season continued to go off the rails.
Even if the Dolphins want to trade Hill in the offseason, the price for a 31-year-old receiver (32 when the 2026 season starts) coming off a major injury probably won't be high.
