But what Rosenhaus didn’t say was more interesting and potentially problematic.

In light of the social media post, which was based on a conversation overheard by a non-journalist, Rosenhaus was asked if Hill would consider surgery if the Dolphins’ situation got worse than it already is.

If the idea of ​​surgery were absurd or out of scope, one might think that Rosenhaus would immediately reject the idea.

Instead, he said: “You know, it’s not something I’m prepared to discuss publicly. I think it’s something that’s going to be really internal right now between me and Tyreek and his family and the team. I know he’s focused on doing everything he can. I think he can get ready to play in tomorrow night’s game.” “This is definitely a big game and I think everyone knows how important this game is and let’s focus on that right now.”

Hill missed the last two practices heading into the Rams game and was listed as questionable on the final injury report.

Hill has missed one game since joining the Dolphins via trade in March 2022; This happened last December when he sat out a 30-0 victory against the New York Jets due to an ankle injury.
