Doctors advise Tyreek Hill to delay return until October
Summary

Tyreek Hill will miss the first week of the 2026 NFL season as he continues his recovery from a severe left knee injury. Agent Drew Rosenhaus stated on Wednesday that medical professionals recommended the wide receiver wait until October before attempting to return to the field. Hill suffered the injury during a game late last September and has spent the offseason focusing on regaining strength in the joint. Rosenhaus emphasized that the team is not in a rush to expedite the process, prioritizing complete health over an immediate return to competition. Hill reported in July that he was still working to restore power in the knee, a process his representation notes is ongoing. There is no firm target date for his return, with officials maintaining a cautious approach to his long-term recovery.
