MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill was taken off the field Monday night after hurting his left knee during a sideline tackle with 13 minutes left in the third quarter against the New York Jets.
Hill, 31, had just made a first down catch when he fell, clutching his leg as teammates and trainers gathered around him. The Dolphins were leading 10-3 at the time of the injury.
A few plays later, tight end Darren Waller caught his second touchdown of the night, pushing Miami’s lead to 17-3. This gave the Dolphins some breathing room in a game largely controlled by their defense.
Miami forced three turnovers after not having any in the first three games of the season.
Dante Trader Jr. recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff. Later, Tyrel Dodson stripped the ball from quarterback Justin Fields, and Jaelan Phillips recovered it, setting up an early 10-0 lead.
The Jets started the second half with possession before Hill’s injury shifted attention back to the sideline. Miami quickly took advantage, increasing its lead to 17-3 with Waller’s score.
Hill was seen smiling on camera and waived to the crowd as he was taken off the field.
