Overview
- On Friday, Aug. 21, agent Drew Rosenhaus told The Pat McAfee Show he does not expect Hill to sign with a team before Week 1 of the 2026 regular season.
- Hill suffered a severe left-knee dislocation with multiple ligament tears, including the ACL, on Sept. 29, 2025, and the Miami Dolphins released him in February 2026.
- Rosenhaus says Hill recently sent video of himself running hills and looked strong but told his agent he still needs work, echoing a July video in which Hill said his left leg had “no power” after two surgeries.
- Several contenders, including the Kansas City Chiefs, are reported to be monitoring Hill but the market for veteran receivers has changed after signings like Stefon Diggs, Keenan Allen, and Deebo Samuel, narrowing immediate fits.
- Teams weighing a Hill signing must balance salary and roster risk against potential late-season payoff because a full recovery from a knee dislocation with multiple torn ligaments typically takes longer than a standard ACL tear and could keep him out until midseason.
