T.J. Houshmandzadeh doubts Tyreek Hill plays in 2026 NFL season
Summary

Former NFL wide receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh expressed skepticism about Tyreek Hill's potential to play in the 2026 NFL season. Hill, who suffered a torn ACL last season and underwent knee surgery, has not secured a new contract since being released by the Miami Dolphins in February. Despite Hill's claims of progress in his rehabilitation, Houshmandzadeh emphasized the importance of a full recovery, suggesting Hill may need to focus on getting back to at least 90% health before considering a return. He believes Hill will still have a future in football, possibly returning to the league in the following season.
