The Miami Dolphins will have their top weapon during Monday Night's primetime matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
Tyreek Hill was listed as questionable coming into the game with a wrist injury, but he told ESPN's Lisa Salters that he is planning to play tonight.
"I don't miss any games," he said and the message was relayed on Monday Night Countdown.
However, it's not all good news.
Hill reportedly got an MRI that confirmed he has a torn ligament in his left wrist, but is planning to play through it. While he said nothing will stop him from being out there on the field, Salters said what everyone was thinking: "this sounds like this is something significant."
And it's an injury that he's been dealing with since training camp.
"He said it got reaggravated when he was arrested right before the opening game of the season. He said he was taken to the ground by police. We remember seeing that video, and he said that's where the further damage was done," Salters explained on the broadcast.
Hill was arrested at the beginning of September just outside of Hard Rock Stadium on the same day as the team's season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
And the way he was handled by the police is what caused more damage to the torn ligament in his wrist according to the receiver.
As of now, Hill will be out there with his team and will be ready to contribute on all levels. But this is an injury that the team will certainly have to keep a close eye on.
