Tyreek Hill could be eyeing a November return to the NFL, and if that happens, the Chiefs may be ready to jump.
Mike Silver of The Athletic reports that the free agent wide receiver is believed to be targeting a November comeback as he continues recovering from the very serious knee injury he suffered last year while with the Dolphins. Silver also says Kansas City is expected to have “strong interest” in bringing Hill back if and when he’s cleared to play.
The reunion talk already has some familiar support behind it. According to Silver, Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones are among the players who are “all for” Hill returning to Kansas City. Jeremy Fowler noted last month that Hill remains fond of the Chiefs, and that a midseason return to Kansas City would make a lot of sense once he’s healthy.
Hill, 32, was originally a fifth-round pick by the Chiefs in 2016. He was in the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million deal in 2019 when Kansas City locked him up with a new three-year, $54 million extension that came with $35.2 million guaranteed.
The Chiefs later traded Hill to Miami during the 2022 offseason, and he signed a four-year, $120 million contract with the Dolphins that included $72.2 million in guaranteed money. Heading into the 2024 season, Hill reworked that deal into a three-year, $90 million contract with $65 million in guarantees after being due base salaries of $19.665 million and $21.835 million over the next two seasons. Miami then released Hill in February 2026 while he was rehabbing a significant leg injury.
Before the release, Hill played four games for the Dolphins in 2025 and totaled 21 catches on 29 targets for 265 yards and one touchdown.

Blues Loss Exposed A Bigger Problem Than Just Chicago
A loss to the Blackhawks is bad enough on its own, but the 4-2 result also put a spotlight on some of the Blues deeper issues. The top line never really drove the game the way it needed to, and the offense as a whole spent too much time looking for rhythm instead of creating it, even as the second line with Mason McTavish and Connor McMichael offered one of the few steady stretches in the lineup.
The bigger concern is that the problems did not stop at even-strength play. St. Louis also came up short when chances with the man advantage were there, which made the night feel less like a one-off and more like a warning sign. If the Blues are going to turn this into a quick correction rather than a lingering trend, they will need more from the players expected to set the tone and more finish from the group that is supposed to punish mistakes.

Blues Already Facing One Early Problem Fans Know Too Well
The Blues came home from their first road trip of the 2026-27 season with a 1-2-0 record, and the early snapshot already looks familiar in one key area. St. Louis has leaned on a wave of young offense to get through the opening stretch, with Mason McTavish, Dalibor Dvorsky and Connor McMichael giving the lineup much-needed spark, while Joel Hofer has been steady in net behind them.
Even with those positives, the second period has been the problem spot, the sort of issue that can undo a decent start before it really has time to breathe. The coaching staff now has a clear early priority before the home opener: tighten up the middle frames and keep the momentum from slipping away the way it did on the road. [Read more 🡒]
Pavel Buchnevich Is Playing For More Than A Hot Start
Pavel Buchnevich entered this season with some pressure attached, and not just because the St. Louis Blues want more offense from one of their established forwards. His point totals have dipped over the past four seasons, turning what once looked like a steady top-six presence into a player whose long-term fit is now worth watching closely as the year unfolds.
The first two games have only sharpened that conversation, because the Blues are trying to figure out whether Buchnevich can still be part of their core or whether his value is better leveraged elsewhere. A productive start would help quiet the noise around him and improve the teams options, while an uneven year could leave St. Louis with a harder decision and less to work with if it chooses to explore a move.
