Why Tyreek Hill's NFL career could be in jeopardy: Eight-time Pro Bowler offers update on injured knee - CBS Sports

What the report says

CBS Sports reported that wide receiver Tyreek Hill’s attempt to return to the NFL remains uncertain as he continues rehabilitation from a severe left knee injury suffered in September during a Week 4 game against the New York Jets. Hill, an eight-time Pro Bowler, missed the final 13 games of the 2025 season after dislocating his kneecap and tearing multiple ligaments, including the ACL. According to CBS Sports, he has had two surgeries in the 10 months since the injury.

In a social media update cited by CBS Sports, Hill said he is still working to rebuild strength in the injured leg and indicated he is far from fully recovered. The article noted that video clips showed him jogging, but not yet demonstrating the elite acceleration that defined much of his career. Hill, now a free agent after being released by the Miami Dolphins in February, said his first step remains rusty while describing the recovery as gradual.

CBS Sports framed the concern around whether Hill can regain the speed and explosiveness that made him one of the league’s top receivers over 10 NFL seasons with Kansas City and Miami. The report also pointed to his age — 32 — and cited CBS research showing that production for high-yardage receivers often declines after age 30.

The outlet said teams may wait until Hill is closer to full strength before showing serious interest, leaving his free-agent market unclear. CBS Sports mentioned a possible Kansas City Chiefs reunion as one speculative landing spot, while emphasizing that any comeback would be notable given the severity of the injury.
