Tyreek Hill is back in the spotlight as he hits the open market. Recently, he shared a video of himself working out in Kansas City, sparking speculation about a potential return to the Chiefs. With the team needing some offensive firepower and Eric Bienemy back as offensive coordinator, fans are buzzing about the possibility.
However, head coach Andy Reid addressed these rumors during a Friday press conference, offering a more cautious perspective. “We evaluate everything and everyone, just like [G.M.]
Brett [Veach] does,” Reid explained. “I’m not even sure if Tyreek is fully healthy right now.
He’s likely focused on his recovery.”
Reid continued, “We’re aware of his situation, and he’s clearly working hard to get back in playing shape. But as of now, there’s nothing happening on that front.”
Hill's recent history includes a torn ACL in Week 4, which cut his 10th season short. Before the injury, he managed to secure 21 receptions for 265 yards and a touchdown.
Hill's legacy with the Chiefs is significant. He earned first-team All-Pro honors as a receiver in both 2018 and 2020, and as a returner in his rookie year, 2016.
Over six seasons with Kansas City, Hill amassed 479 catches for 6,630 yards and 56 touchdowns in 91 games. In the postseason, he added 84 receptions for 1,081 yards and five touchdowns across 13 games, playing a crucial role in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIV victory.
While the idea of Hill returning to the Chiefs is enticing, Reid’s comments suggest it’s not a done deal. For now, Hill's focus seems to be on getting back to full health, and the Chiefs are keeping their options open.
