Topline

Tyreek Hill, a wide receiver for the Miami Dolphins, was arrested by police Sunday morning near the team’s Hard Rock Stadium, the team said. He has since been released and will be available to play Sunday.

Key Facts

Hill was pulled over for a minor traffic incident when he entered the stadium area and was briefly handcuffed by police, NFL Network reported.

ESPN reports that Hill was pulled over for alleged reckless driving and speeding, and was placed in handcuffs after an altercation with police, citing anonymous sources. The player’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, called the incident “heartbreaking” and “mind-boggling.”

“Multiple teammates witnessed the incident and stopped to offer support,” the Dolphins said on Twitter. All players involved are available to play in Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Main background

Hill has been with the Dolphins since 2022 and previously played six seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs. Hill has had legal troubles in the past: In 2014, Hill was kicked off the Oklahoma State University football team after pleading guilty to domestic violence and assault for attacking his then-pregnant fiancée, the Miami Herald reported. His conviction was expunged in 2018, but Hill came under renewed scrutiny in 2019 after his 3-year-old son broke his arm and child protective investigators removed the child from Hill’s custody. The Kansas City Star reported that prosecutors believed a crime had been committed against the child, but they couldn’t prove who did it, so no charges were filed against Hill.
