Miami Dolphins’ Tyreek Hill suffers serious knee injury

NFL notes

Tyreek Hill

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Tyreek Hill’s season for the Miami Dolphins potentially came to a sudden end on Monday night, when the standout wide receiver’s left knee became badly twisted shortly after he made a catch near the sideline during a 27-21 win over the New York Jets.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Hill was diagnosed with a dislocated knee. Hill was to remain hospitalized overnight, McDaniel said.

An air cast was placed over his leg before Hill — cheering and clapping, acknowledging the cheers of fans — was taken off the field on a cart. He was then taken to a nearby hospital, the Dolphins said, “for imaging, evaluation and observation” of the knee injury.

“He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I’ve ever seen (have) such a terrible experience,” McDaniel said. “He immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good, just make sure the guys get this win.’ He was focused on the team.”

The Dolphins expected to learn more details today, McDaniel said.

Hill’s leg was bent at an ugly angle when medical personnel — who were at his side in a matter of a few seconds — got to him.

Broncos snap skid

DENVER — Bo Nix threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to atone for his end zone interception and the Denver Broncos snapped a two-game skid by sending the Cincinnati Bengals to their second straight blowout loss, 28-3 Monday night.

With 101 yards on 16 carries, J.K. Dobbins recorded Denver’s first 100-yard rushing game since Latavius Murray ran for 103 yards against the Chargers on Jan. 8, 2023, a span of 38 games, counting the playoffs.

Nix threw for 326 yards and the Broncos outgained the Bengals 512 yards to 159 while piling up 29 first downs to Cincinnati’s nine.
