MIAMI GARDENS - Miami-Dade police said they will investigate after Miami Dolphins ' five-time All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by officers hours before the team's home opener at Hard Rock Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A senior law enforcement source told CBS News Miami that Hill was stopped for reckless driving.
"He was uncooperative and when it was clear he would not cooperate he was placed in handcuffs and detained," according to the source.
The source said the officers did not know who Hill was when they stopped him.
A second player saw what was happening pulled over, got out of his car and interfered with the officers, according to the source. He was also placed in handcuffs and detained. Both players were ultimately released. Hill was cited for careless driving.
The Dolphins posted on X, formerly Twitter, that Hill will be available to play on Sunday.
Hill did suit up and play in the game.
CBS Miami's Mike Cugno spoke to Hill's agent Drew Rosenhaus before the game.
"Tyreek was detained by the police, I mean, just inexplicably put them in handcuffs relative to a moving traffic violation entering the stadium, of all things, on game day. A surreal situation. I'm extremely upset about it. Thank God, Tyreek is okay. We'll be investigating the police conduct afterward, not making any allegations right now, we'll leave that to Tyreek's legal team. But Tyreek, thank God is okay. It was a very traumatic situation. He pulled it together, he is going to play today. Thank God he's okay," said Rosenhaus.
He added that Hill was fine physically but was mentally very upset about what happened.
In a statement Sunday afternoon, Miami-Dade Police Director Stephanie V. Daniels said that she had requested an "immediate review" of the details surrounding the incident.
"We are also reviewing available body camera footage. We will provide updates as further information becomes available," Daniels said in the statement.
