    One of the officers involved in the pregame detainment of Dolphins star Tyreek Hill outside the team’s stadium Sunday morning has been placed on administrative leave.

    The Miami-Dade Police Department began a review of the matter Sunday after Hill, 30, was handcuffed on his way to the game against the Jaguars.

    He was cited for reckless driving after allegedly speeding and video from the incident showed Hill laying on his stomach as cops handcuffed him.

    Tyreek Hill has ‘no idea’ why police detained him before Dolphins game in first comments since incident

    “Following the incident involving Tyreek Hill, I have initiated an Internal Affairs investigation to ensure a thorough review of the matter,” MDPD director Stephanie V. Daniels said in a statement.

    “One of the officers involved in the incident has been placed on administrative duties while the investigation is conducted.

    “I’m committed to transparency and accountability to the community with any situation involving my officers.”

    Dolphins’ Calais Campbell was also detained by police during Tyreek Hill incident

    Hill played in the Dolphins’ 20-14 win and caught an 80-yard touchdown, after which he performed a handcuffs celebration by putting his hands behind his back.

    After the game, Hill said he had “no idea” why he was detained.

    “It happened so fast that it caught me off guard,” Hill said.

    The receiver finished with seven catches and 130 yards.

    Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told NFL Network before the game that the ordeal was “very upsetting.”

    “It’s unnecessary. there’s no reason Tyreek should’ve been treated that way,” Rosenhaus said.
