Miami Dolphins big receiver Tyreek Hill, listed as questionable for Sunday’s game due to frame trauma, is expected to play against the Arizona Cardinals, a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter on Saturday night. .
Before the event, Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who had been in concussion protocol since Sept. 12 and then suffered the third concussion of his career during a loss to the Buffalo Bills, was activated, potentially meeting Miami’s poor pass and catch combination.
Tagovailoa, who was placed on injury accumulation five days after the trauma and sat out the team’s then four games, returned to practice Wednesday at Miami Boxes, and Hill was emotional when he saw him hit the ground.
“It looked great. It felt like old times,” Hill said Wednesday. “He and I hit some deep shots today, and that made me feel good today. I missed that and I missed him. I told him I had to take him and his wife to dinner because I missed him so much. A lot of S— It was so beautiful, it s— it almost made me cry today, just having him in the lineup, having him calling the plays, having him running the offense, just hearing his voice.
“I know it sounds crazy, but he’s an important part of this team.”
Miami is 1-3 in the four games Tagovailoa has lost. Through that stretch, the Dolphins offense ranks last in scoring, 31st in expected offensive points added and 29th in yards by sport.
Hill’s production has declined without Tagovailoa. He’s on a streak for 833 receiving yards, which could be his lowest overall since his rookie season.
