Is Tyreek Hill playing this week? Latest injury update on Dolphins WR

The Miami Dolphins are finally getting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back this week, but will they have their best wide receiver, Tyreek Hill, when the signal-caller makes his long-awaited return against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8?

Hill was added to the injury report on Thursday with a foot issue, which led to his being listed as limited. The star wide receiver then followed that up with no participation on Friday before being given a questionable tag.

The fact that Hill was a mid-week addition to the injury report and a non-participant on Friday would suggest he's on the wrong side of questionable. However, there appears to be optimism that Hill will suit up for Miami in Week 8.

Tyreek Hill injury update

UPDATE: The Dolphins have posted their inactives for the game against the Cardinals and Hill is officially active for Week 8, as expected.

End of update

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter , Hill is indeed expected to play this week. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel expressed optimism that his best wide receiver would suit up.

Nobody is more excited than Hill to see Tagovailoa's return, as Hill has struggled to produce because of lackluster play under center from the likes of Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley.

Since Tagovailoa exited with his latest concussion in Week 2 against the Buffalo Bills , Hill has 14 catches for just 140 receiving yards over the last four games.

“We’re back, baby! Strike up the f——g band! Start me this week," Hill told reporters on Wednesday.

Tyreek Hill fantasy football advice

For our fantasy football folks out there, the only concern with Hill is the risk of his exiting early due to injury if he isn't playing at 100%. However, that's not close to enough to keep him out of lineups.

If you have a piece of Hill in fantasy football, you've been waiting for Tua's return for what feels like an eternity, and now it's time. Fire Hill up as a WR1 this week.
