Tyreek Hill’s path back to an NFL field is starting to come into focus, and his agent is making it clear that the door is still open for a 2026 return.
Nine weeks into the 2026 season, Hill still has not been cleared, but Drew Rosenhaus said on The Pat McAfee Show that the veteran receiver is hopeful of getting medically approved within a few weeks. Rosenhaus also said he still expects Hill to land with a team during the 2026 NFL season.
“As soon as Tyreek Hill is healthy and cleared medically, I’m letting teams know they can sign him.. I think he’s close and I think he’s gonna make a great comeback. I expect him to be playing and making things happen this season.”
Hill’s comeback attempt comes after a brutal setback last year, when he suffered a severe, season-ending left knee dislocation and multiple ligament tears in a Week 4 game against the New York Jets. The injury left him hospitalized overnight, required multiple major surgeries, and sent him to injured reserve for the rest of the 2025 season. Since then, he has been released by the Dolphins and has gone through extensive rehabilitation.
For now, the market appears to be taking shape around three teams: the Chiefs, 49ers, and Rams. All three are Super Bowl contenders, and all three could be in the mix once the trade deadline passes if they’re looking to add help to the passing game.
Hill remains a major question mark because of the severity of the injury. If he does get back on the field, he may need to do it on a low prove-it deal to show he still has it.

Chiefs Just Uncovered A New Weapon For Patrick Mahomes
The Chiefs got a much-needed lift in their win over the Jets, leaning on a balanced attack that gave Patrick Mahomes plenty of help. Mahomes finished 23 of 31 for 242 yards and two touchdowns, while Travis Kelce chipped in with four catches for 72 yards and even found the end zone on the ground. Kansas Citys defense did its part too, piling up five sacks and keeping New York out of the end zone.
What stood out most was the way Kenneth Walker III fit into the offense, turning his touches into a major problem for the Jets. He ran for 102 yards and scored three times, giving the Chiefs a versatile threat who changed the game in more than one way. For a team looking to keep its offense dangerous and unpredictable, that kind of production is exactly the sort of development that can open things up for Mahomes going forward. [Read more 🡒]
Chiefs Fans Can Only Laugh As Chargers Rivalry Keeps Getting Sadder
With the Chiefs sitting at 6-2 and coming off a 35-12 win over the Jets, Kansas City is once again in the familiar place of thinking about the postseason while the rest of the division tries to keep up. The contrast with the Chargers could hardly be sharper. Los Angeles has stumbled to an 0-8 start, and what was supposed to be a season built around expectation has instead turned into a weekly exercise in damage control.
For Chiefs fans, the rivalry has become less about scoreboard drama and more about watching a division foe sink further from relevance. The Chargers have managed only a handful of scoring plays and have spent long stretches without finding the end zone, a staggering fall for a team with this much talent on paper. Under Mike McDaniel and with Justin Herbert at quarterback, the results have been nowhere near what anyone in Los Angeles envisioned, and from Kansas Citys side, it is hard not to laugh at how lopsided the AFC West picture has become.

Mahomes And Kelce Just Added To Their Chiefs Legacy
Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have spent the better part of a decade turning the Chiefs passing game into one of the NFLs defining partnerships, and now theyve added another line to an already crowded legacy. The two have been tied together since 2018, with Kelce on the field for nearly every Mahomes start and the tight end continuing to stack up record-setting production along the way.
What makes this latest milestone stand out is how long the connection has lasted and how little it has faded. Mahomes and Kelce are into their ninth season together, and the chemistry between them has become such a fixture in Kansas City that it now sits alongside the leagues all-time marks for a quarterback-tight end tandem, a reminder that their story is still being written even as the records keep falling.
