Tyreek Hill’s absence during the Miami Dolphins’ season finale against the New York Jets has become a hot topic, with a viral video sparking widespread speculation about the moment the star wide receiver appeared to step away from the game.
Hill was notably absent from the entire fourth quarter of the Dolphins’ 32-20 loss. However, the tipping point may have come late in the third quarter, as captured during FOX’s broadcast. In a key moment, Dolphins receivers were seen huddled during a coach’s challenge with 2:35 remaining in the third quarter.
Jaylen Waddle turned to the sidelines and shouted, “Hey, Cheetah, you done?”—seemingly directed at Hill, who did not return to the field thereafter.
After the game, Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel acknowledged Hill’s absence in the final quarter, stating that he was informed Hill was “unavailable.” Hill’s agent later attributed his exit to a flare-up of a lingering wrist injury that had plagued him throughout the season. However, Hill’s own postgame comments fueled rumors of deeper discontent, with the All-Pro wide receiver dropping hints about dissatisfaction with the Dolphins.
This week, McDaniel further addressed the situation, stating candidly that Hill essentially quit on the team during the Jets game. The coach revealed that he and Hill have since met to clear the air, but questions remain about the star player’s future in Miami. Hill’s cryptic comments and behavior have only added to the speculation that he may be looking for an exit from the organization.
