Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill returned to practice on Thursday, marking his first appearance since his an ankle injury in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans.
Hill was absent from Sunday's win against the New York Jets and there was some concern when he didn't participate in Wednesday's practice. However, head coach Mike McDaniel clarified that Hill's absence on Wednesday shouldn't be seen as an indicator of his availability for the upcoming home game against the Dallas Cowboys. McDaniel explained that it was more about ensuring Hill's readiness for the game.
Today, Hill was seen actively engaging in individual drills and seemed to not be phased by his injury while catching passes from Tua Tagovailoa.
Hill has had another breakout season, leading the NFL in receiving yards (1,542) and touchdown receptions (12).
The (10-4) Dolphins have a 99 percent chance of making the playoffs, but still face three tough games against the Dallas Cowboys, the Baltimore Ravens, and Buffalo Bills to finish the season.
