Dolphins WR coach Wes Welker says Tyreek Hill has ankle injury in addition to wrist injury

After last Sunday’s win over the 49ers, Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill said that a couple of dropped passes in the game could be attributed to not having enough practice reps with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa this season.

Hill’s comment made sense because he’s missed practice time with a wrist injury that has kept him on the injury report for much of the season. On Thursday, wide receivers coach Wes Welker said that another injury that hasn’t been disclosed by the team has also been a factor in keeping the two players from getting their regular dose of practice work.

“The hard part is he’s dealing with the wrist,” Welker said, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald. “He’s got an ankle. There’s always stuff through the year. As you get older, you get all those reps of knowing how to play the position. How do we put the best product out there on Sunday with being able to be fresh on Sunday? It’s a fine balance of being able to get that done. It’s definitely something we can revisit this offseason and come up with a plan. When guys do have stuff and are trying to play through, just trusting your players. How are you feeling today? Roll from there.”

Not disclosing the injury is an issue for the league, but figuring out ways to keep Hill healthy and in sync with the quarterback will be issues for the Dolphins to deal with as they move toward the 2025 season.
