Tyreek Hill says the work to come back from his left leg injury is still very much a grind, and he’s not pretending otherwise.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, the veteran receiver showed himself training while talking through where things stand nearly 10 months after two surgeries. Hill said the injured leg still isn’t giving him what he needs.
“So it’s about 10 months after doing two surgeries,” Hill said. “My left leg is the one that I injured.
I have no power in my left leg, so I’m trying to regain all the power back in my left leg. But it’s one day at a time.”
Hill also said he was told after the injury that he “might not be able to walk again,” though he added that he feels good this far removed from the surgeries. The video included a range of exercises, along with some short running that Hill said he wasn’t supposed to be doing yet.
The update comes after it was reported in May that Hill might not play in 2026 because of the recovery from the dislocated knee and multiple ligament tears he suffered in Week 4 last year. ESPN’s Nate Taylor said the Chiefs are expected to monitor Hill’s recovery, and they are the only team explicitly tied to him at this point.
Hill, 32, entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2016. Kansas City signed him to a three-year, $54 million extension in 2019 that included $35.2 million guaranteed.
The Chiefs later traded Hill to the Dolphins during the 2022 offseason. Miami then gave him a four-year, $120 million contract with $72.2 million in guaranteed money.
Heading into the 2024 season, Hill agreed to a reworked three-year, $90 million contract with $65 million in guarantees after he was due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over the next two seasons. The Dolphins released him in February 2026 while he was recovering from the significant leg injury.
In 2025, Hill played in four games for Miami and finished with 21 catches on 29 targets for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Broncos Camp Battle Could Force Sean Payton Into A Tough Call
The Broncos head into 2026 training camp with a receiver room that already looks crowded, thanks to the addition of Jaylen Waddle and a group of returning targets from last season. Even before the first padded practice, the depth chart feels like one of the more interesting parts of Sean Paytons roster puzzle, especially with the teams history of making unexpected calls at wideout.
Dane Key has given that competition another layer after turning heads during OTAs, and his size and physical profile make him a name to watch once camp gets rolling. If he keeps stacking good days and shows he can help on special teams, he could push the Broncos into a difficult decision on how many receivers they want to carry when the roster starts to tighten.

Bo Nix Keeps Saving The Broncos In The Worst Situations
Bo Nix spent his rookie season bailing the Broncos out of ugly down-and-distance spots, and the numbers backed up what the eye test suggested. He finished second in the NFL in first-down or touchdown conversions on third-and-long, a sign that Denver had a quarterback who could survive when the offense got behind the chains and still find a way to keep drives alive.
The Broncos spent the offseason trying to make those emergency snaps less common. Re-signing J.K. Dobbins and drafting Jonah Coleman were aimed at giving the run game more punch, while the addition of Jaylen Waddle gives the passing game another layer of speed and versatility. The bigger question now is whether all of that support lets Nix spend less time rescuing drives and more time running an offense that does not need rescuing in the first place. [Read more 🡒]
5 Young Broncos Enter Camp With Real Pressure To Deliver
Training camp opens July 28, and for a handful of young Broncos, it arrives with more than the usual summer optimism. Denver has several roster spots and rotational jobs that still feel very much up for grabs, and the teams needs at cornerback, safety, and along the defensive front give a few recent additions and second-year players a real chance to climb the depth chart if they can show they belong.
Jahdae Barron, RJ Harvey, JL Skinner Key, and Sai'vion Jones are all in that pressure zone where development has to turn into production, not just promise. Barron needs to push his defensive snap share, Harvey is positioned to take on a larger offensive role, Key has a path beyond special teams, and Jones could see more opportunities after the departure of John Franklin-Myers, but none of it matters unless they make the most of camp and force the staff to keep them on the field.
