NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe reported that Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill is dealing with a minor injury. He was seen wearing a removable brace on his right hand, prohibiting him from catching passes during practice.
However, as Wolfe mentioned, the injury isn't a cause for concern because it's minor. Therefore, his availability for the Dolphins' season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars won't be questioned.
Hill is coming off back-to-back 1,700-yard seasons for the Dolphins, making him worthy of the four-year, $120 million contract he signed in 2022. He could have had more if he hadn't missed one game last season.

Hill was in uniform/helmet, but I didn't spot him catch a pass. Mike McDaniel has noted caution with many players to get/keep them healthy for season
The Dolphins restructured Hill's contract this offseason, giving him $90 million over the next three seasons, including $65 million in guaranteed money. The revamped contract gives him $106.5 million in total guarantees. Miami opted to revise his contract during an offseason wherein the best wideouts reset the market, highlighted by Justin Jefferson's four-year, $140 million contract.
