Hill (wrist/rest) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Hill's limitations were presumably maintenance-related, as he's dealt with the wrist issue for much of the season without missing a game. In the Dolphins' Week 17 win over the Browns, Hill played 88 percent of the snaps on offensive and finished with a 9-105-0 receiving line on nine targets. He was working with Tyler Huntley as his quarterback in that game, and head coach Mike McDaniel suggested that Huntley is trending toward a second straight start in Sunday's regular-season finale versus the Jets with normal starter Tua Tagovailoa still dealing with a hip injury.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Wrist
Return Date: January 5, 2025
Hill (wrist) corralled all nine of his targets for 105 yards in Sunday's 20-3 win over the Browns.
Analysis
Hill showed no ill effects from his lingering wrist injury en route to his third game of the campaign recording 100 or more receiving yards in Sunday's casual victory. The speed demon used his sure hands to nick and cut the opposition to a strong fantasy line on his most efficient showing to date in 2024. Hill will be geared up for a crucial regular-season finale against the Jets next Sunday as Miami fights for its playoff life.
Hill (wrist) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis
Hill was listed as limited on all three of Miami's practice reports this week, before heading into the weekend with a 'questionable' designation. He'll be available Sunday, unlike fellow starting wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee), but with Tyler Huntley on track to start at QB for Miami in place of Tua Tagovailoa (hip), expectations should be tempered for Hill and the team's other available key pass catchers.
Hill (wrist), who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, is expected to suit up, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis
The wrist issue is a lingering one for Hill, but he's yet to miss a game because of it, and he looks set to take the field once again Sunday. However, his outlook is hazy in part due to the expected absence of Tua Tagovailoa, who is officially doubtful to play due to a hip issue. Rapoport notes that No. 2 wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee) isn't likely to suit up either, which could lead to the Browns focusing more of their attention on Hill. If things go the way they seem to be trending, the Dolphins passing attack Sunday will consist of Tyler Huntley at quarterback, with Hill and Malik Washington leading the team's wideout corps and tight end Jonnu Smith playing a significant role as well.

Type: Wrist
Return Date: January 5, 2025
Hill (wrist) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.
Analysis
It would be surprising if Hill doesn't suit up, as he has been playing through a wrist issue for weeks. He was limited in all three of Miami's practices during the week, with rest provided as a secondary reason for his limitations alongside the wrist injury. Hill made a concerted effort to participate in every practice to work on his rhythm with Tua Tagovailoa after Hill attributed his recent problems with drops to a preponderance of veteran rest days in practice. Tagovailoa's listed as questionable due to a hip injury, but the quarterback's also unlikely to sit out since the Dolphins are still mathematically in playoff contention.

Hill (wrist/rest) was limited at practice Thursday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Hill -- who has been managing a wrist injury -- also was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, but the wideout could be cleared for Sunday's game against the Browns as soon as Friday. Meanwhile, fellow starter Jaylen Waddle (knee), who was inactive Week 16, returned to a limited practice Thursday, so it's possible that the Dolphins will have both players players available for Week 17 action.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Wrist
Return Date: January 5, 2025
Hill (wrist/rest) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.
Analysis
Hill also logged a limited listing this past Friday before approaching Sunday's win over the 49ers with a questionable designation. Unlike fellow wideout Jaylen Waddle (knee), Hill was active for the contest and finished with three catches for 29 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. Hill isn't reported to be dealing with any setbacks with his wrist coming out of the Week 16 contest, so his listed limitations Wednesday may well have been maintenance-related.
Injury Status
Status: QUESTIONABLE
Type: Wrist
Return Date: January 5, 2025
Hill (wrist/personal) had three receptions on seven targets for 29 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 29-17 win over the 49ers.
Analysis
Hill was a limited participant in practice this week while tending to a personal issue in addition to a bum wrist. The speedy wideout overcame both roadblocks in order to suit up for a Dolphins squad that was without the services of Jaylen Waddle (knee) on Sunday. Hill didn't post the kind of volume managers may have expected with his running mate sidelined to injury, but he salvaged his performance by catching Miami's only passing touchdown on the day. With 834 receiving yards and just two games remaining on the schedule, Hill is in danger of failing to reach 1,000 receiving yards for the first time since an injury-shortened season back in 2019.
Hill (wrist/personal) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis
Hill, who continues to manage a wrist injury, didn't practice Wednesday, worked fully Thursday, and then finished the week with a limited listing Friday before heading into the weekend carrying a 'questionable' designation. With fellow starting WR Jaylen Waddle (knee) inactive, Hill should be busy Sunday, barring any in-game setbacks. Meanwhile, Malik Washington figures to see an expanded role in Waddle's absence, with River Cracraft and Erik Ezukanma rounding out Miami's Week 16 wide receiver corps.
