Tyreek Hill says the comeback from his left knee injury is still a grind, and right now the biggest issue is simple: he says he doesn’t have the power back in that leg yet.
In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Hill worked out and gave an update on where things stand nearly 10 months after two surgeries. He said he’s still trying to rebuild strength in the leg he injured, and he’s taking it step by step.
“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 showed him doing several exercises, including some short running, which he said he wasn’t supposed to be doing yet.
Back in May, it was reported that the veteran receiver might not play in 2026 because of the knee injury he suffered in Week 4 last year, when he dislocated the knee and tore multiple ligaments.
For now, ESPN’s Nate Taylor said the Chiefs are expected to keep tabs on Hill’s recovery, and they’re the only team specifically linked to him at this point.
Hill, 32, started his NFL career with Kansas City after the Chiefs took him in the fifth round in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million deal in 2019 when Kansas City signed him to a three-year, $54 million extension that included $35.2 million guaranteed.
The Chiefs later traded him to the Dolphins during the 2022 offseason, and Hill then landed a four-year, $120 million contract with Miami that included $72.2 million guaranteed.
Heading into the 2024 season, he agreed to a reworked three-year, $90 million deal with $65 million in guarantees after being due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over the next two seasons. Miami released him in February 2026 while he was still working back from the major 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.

Miamis First Fall Camp Depth Chart Raises Two Huge Offensive Questions
With fall camp set to open in about ten days, Miamis offense is already taking shape in broad strokes, even if the final picture is far from complete. The early projection has Darian Mensah at quarterback with Luke Nickel behind him, Mark Fletcher and CharMar Brown leading the backfield, and Elija Lofton positioned to handle the tight end role as the Hurricanes start sorting out who can be trusted when the real competition begins.
The more interesting part for Miami is how much of the depth chart still feels up for grabs, especially along the line and at receiver, where offseason work and camp reps could still change the conversation before Stanford comes to town. That uncertainty is exactly why this first look matters: it gives the Hurricanes a baseline, but it also shows how many offensive jobs will be decided by what happens once the pads come on.

Miami Is Suddenly In The Middle Of A Massive Recruiting Moment
Miamis recruiting momentum is starting to look less like a hot streak and more like a long-term plan coming together. The Hurricanes already have a nationally ranked 2027 class, have picked up verbal pledges for 2028 and now find themselves in the mix for one of the countrys most coveted young defenders in Asher Ghioto, a five-star edge rusher who has made multiple unofficial visits to campus.
Ghioto has seen plenty of major programs and still has more stops ahead during the 2026 season, but Miami is clearly positioned near the front of the line. The appeal is obvious: a chance to develop under defensive line coach Jason Taylor and follow a path the Hurricanes have been selling aggressively, even if the final call is still a ways off.

Miami Just Got A Massive Preseason ACC Statement
Miamis preseason buzz got a real jolt this week, with several Hurricanes landing on ACC Digital Networks Preseason All-ACC Team as the league starts to sort out its contenders. The recognition fits the bigger picture around Mario Cristobals program, which enters 2026 as the conference favorite and with a clear expectation to chase a return trip to the College Football Playoff.
Mark Fletcher Jr., Malachi Toney, Cooper Barkate, Mohamed Toure and Bryce Fitzgerald were among the Miami names earning spots on Wes Bryants list, a reminder of how much returning talent and transfer help the Hurricanes can point to before the first snap. For a team trying to turn preseason hype into an ACC title and another national championship push, the early nods only add to the pressure to back it up when the season opens. [Read more 🡒]
