The Miami Dolphins need Tyreek Hill to be safe and sound throughout the course of the season.
That’s why the team decided to err on the side of caution in practice on Tuesday.
According to a report by Cameron Wolfe, the former Kansas City Chiefs star was wearing a removable brace on his right hand.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is latest player dealing with minor injury. He wore a removable brace on right hand during practice today.
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

Hill was in uniform and even had his helmet on, but he wasn’t out there catching passes.
He’s the best wide receiver and the most dangerous offensive player in the game as a whole, so it only makes sense that the team is being overly cautious with him.
Their offense took a big hit when he was banged up later last season, and they cannot afford to go through the same again.
While the New York Jets will now be a strong contender to come out of the AFC East Division, the Dolphins know they must make the most of the Buffalo Bills’ depleted roster to secure the divisional pennant this time around.
This team hasn’t won a playoff game in decades, and jumping off to a great start in the season will be key to potentially hosting a playoff game to put an end to that drought.
Jaylen Waddle just got a big payday and is expected to have a prominent role in the offense again.
But as great as he is, not having Hill on the field could be a lethal blow to Mike McDaniel’s offense, so don’t be shocked if the Dolphins shut him down as a precaution until the start of the season.
