Miami Police Address Tyreek Hill Arrest in Sunday Afternoon Statement

The Miami Dolphins kick off their season against the Jacksonville Jaguars in what should be a great AFC matchup. Miami is primed for a strong season thanks to having numerous weapons for head coach and play caller Mike McDaniel.

However, early Sunday morning, superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill caused a stir after being seen being arrested on his way to Hard Rock Stadium. Hill was cuffed and shortly detained by Miami police. He was eventually let go and is playing in Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

With the game underway, Miami police issued an official statement about Hill's arrest. Director Stephanie V. Daniels of the Miami-Dade Police Department claims she requested to view all details and body cam footage of the incident.

"We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers. I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage. We will provide updates as further information becomes available."

Hill has not shared any statements about the Sunday morning arrest. He may address the incident during the Dolphins' postgame press conference after the Jaguars game. Until then, there likely won't be much more information unless Miami police share another statement.

The Dolphins receiver was seen cuffed while being held to the ground in the viral clip. It's unclear what led to the arrest, but Miami police claim Hill was originally pulled over for reckless driving.

For now, we'll have to wait and see how it all plays out. As previously stated, the 30-year old wide receiver is playing for the Dolphins on Sunday. Through one quarter, Hill has recorded three receptions for 21 yards.

Hill emerged as a superstar wide receiver with the Kansas City Chiefs where he served as a top two pass option for quarterback Patrick Mahomes. During his time in Kansas City, Hill helped the team win one Super Bowl.

The Chiefs traded Hill to the Dolphins in the 2022 offseason. This season marks the beginning of his third year playing in Miami. He proved to be one of the best players in the NFL last season after recording 119 receptions (tied for career-high) for 1,799 yards (career-high) and 13 touchdowns.

Look for Hill to maintain his high level of play as the Dolphins seek a deep playoff run this season. They'll have their hands full, though, as the AFC is stacked with strong competition throughout.
