Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed that wide receiver Tyreek Hill will be held out of team drills due to a thumb injury, which is not considered serious but requires caution to prevent further damage. Hill has participated in individual drills but was seen wearing a brace on his right hand, raising concerns as he missed the first two preseason contests. Other key players, including Jaylen Waddle and River Cracraft, are also dealing with injuries, prompting the Dolphins to prioritize health as the regular season approaches. Despite these setbacks, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is making progress and is expected to lead the team effectively even without Hill and Waddle in practice. The Dolphins aim to have their offense prepared for the season opener against Jacksonville on September 8. The situation remains fluid, with updates on injury statuses forthcoming as the season nears.
