Police officers detained Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill outside Hard Rock Stadium before the team’s Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The eight-time Pro Bowler was reportedly detained for a driving violation.

“Video footage appears to show Hill laying flat on his stomach outside his car getting handcuffed by police,” the New York Post reports.

“I’m told by sources Tyreek Hill was cited for reckless driving as a result of his incident outside the stadium with police. After he was pulled over, he got into a verbal altercation with police. The officer chose to place Hill in handcuffs. He was cited and released after the situation was deescalated,” ESPN NFL reporter Jeff Darlington said.

 

Hill remained active for Sunday’s game.

From the New York Post:

“It’s very upsetting … to see the way he was treated,” Rosenhaus said during a television interview with NFL Network inside the stadium after the incident.

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

Rosenhaus called the situation “absurd” and said Hill felt like things “got way out of hand,” adding they’d be talking to legal representation.

“This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police. He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game,” the Miami Dolphins said in a statement.

Hill caught an 80-yard touchdown pass during the game.

Per ESPN:

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday outside Hard Rock Stadium for a driving violation but was released from custody before Miami’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hill is playing in the game and scored a touchdown on an 80-yard pass play from Tua Tagovailoa in the third quarter. Hill appeared to reenact his detainment to celebrate his touchdown. Fellow wide receiver Jaylen Waddle walked behind as Hill held his arms behind his back like he was in handcuffs.

Hill finished the Dolphins’ 20-17 victory with 130 yards receiving on seven receptions.

Hill was seen on video posted to social media face down on the ground as officers placed his hands behind his back and put him in handcuffs.

Sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington that Hill was stopped for speeding and then got into a verbal altercation with police and was subsequently placed in handcuffs.

Hill was cited for reckless driving, sources told Darlington.
