Tyreek Hill could be eyeing a November return to the NFL, and if that happens, the Chiefs may be waiting with open arms.
Mike Silver of The Athletic reports that the free-agent wide receiver is believed to be targeting a November comeback as he continues to rehab from the very serious knee injury he suffered last year while playing for the Dolphins. And Kansas City, according to Silver, is expected to have “strong interest” in bringing Hill back if he gets cleared to play.
That reunion wouldn’t come out of nowhere. Silver says players including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones are “all for” Hill returning to Kansas City. Jeremy Fowler also noted last month that Hill still has strong feelings for the Chiefs and that a midseason return would make plenty of sense once he’s healthy.
Hill, 32, started his career in Kansas City after the Chiefs took him in the fifth round in 2016. He later signed a three-year, $54 million extension in 2019 that came with $35.2 million guaranteed, then was traded to Miami in the 2022 offseason.
With the Dolphins, Hill landed a four-year, $120 million deal that included $72.2 million guaranteed. Heading into the 2024 season, he agreed to a reworked three-year, $90 million contract with $65 million in guarantees after being due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over his next two seasons.
Miami released Hill in February 2026 while he was recovering from a significant leg injury.
In 2025, Hill played in four games for the Dolphins and finished with 21 catches on 29 targets for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Malik Willis Just Became The Dolphins' Biggest Question
The Dolphins are 0-4 after the loss to Minnesota, and the early season has only sharpened the questions around a roster that has shown some developmental progress even as the results keep sliding the wrong way. For a team trying to find traction, the quarterback conversation has quickly moved to the center of everything, with every week bringing a little more scrutiny to how the offense is being steered.
Malik Willis, signed this offseason as a free agent, is now at the heart of the discussion about where Miami goes next. The evaluation is no longer just about short-term steadiness or flashes in isolated moments - it is turning into a much bigger debate over whether he can be the franchise quarterback moving forward, and the next stretch will carry plenty of weight for how that answer takes shape.

Dolphins May Have A New Lead Back While Achane Is Out
Ollie Gordon IIs role changed before Miamis game against the Vikings, when he was moved to backup running back, but the rookie still wound up making the kind of case the Dolphins needed to see with DeVon Achane sidelined. Gordon delivered his first career 100-yard rushing game, added a touchdown and ran with the kind of power that stood out on a night when Miamis ground game needed a lift.
Jaylen Wright got the start in Week 4, but the Dolphins did not get much traction there, and the overall rushing attack has been under strain with key players missing. Gordons emergence gives Miami a more physical option in the backfield while Achane is out, and it at least gives the staff something useful to sort through as it looks for the right answer on the ground.

Dolphins Showed Promise In Another Loss But One Problem Wont Go Away
The Dolphins Week 4 loss was another frustrating result on the scoreboard, but it also offered a glimpse of a defense and supporting cast trying to hold things together through a wave of absences. Rookie linebacker Jacob Rodriguez stood out with 18 tackles, the most by any Miami player in a game this season, while Ollie Gordon and Zach Sieler also turned in noteworthy efforts as the team searched for answers in a 15-10 defeat.
Still, the encouraging signs were hard to separate from the familiar problems that keep surfacing. Jason Marshall and Austin Jackson had rough stretches, and the special teams unit again created too many issues for a team that cant afford extra mistakes. Miami can point to the effort and some individual progress, but until one persistent area gets cleaned up, close games are likely to keep slipping away. [Read more 🡒]
