Hill was detained prior to Miami’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He eventually suited up to play.

“We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers,” the statement read. “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.”

The Dolphins released a statement following the incident, confirming Hill would play.

“This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police,” the statement read. “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.”

ESPN’s Adam chefter and Jeff Darlington also reported Hill was cited for reckless driving after being pulled over for speeding. Hill and police had a verbal altercation which led to the star wide receiver being put in handcuffs.

Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus called the entire situation “mind-boggling” when he spoke live on ESPN pregame.

“It’s a heartbreaking situation,” Rosenhaus said. “Obviously, I love Tyreek. I hated to see him in the situation he was in with the police. He is going to play today. Number one, he’s okay. Number two, he’s going to play. Number three, apparently got a ticket for moving violation entering the stadium. How things escalated into the situation that they were in handcuffs and being held on the ground with police is mind boggling to me. 

“I’m deeply concerned by that, very troubled. We will be looking into it, we will be investigating this, we will look out for Tyreek, but I’m not going to make any allegations at this time. The most important thing is Tyreek is okay. Physically, mentally, he was very distraught about what happened. Tyreek has told me over and over, he’s a big supporter of police. He was telling the police there, I want to be a police officer in the future. But this is crazy. I’ve never seen anything like this.”
