Dolphins Tyreek Hill returns to practice Thursday

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill returns to practice after missing a session due to a hip ailment.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has returned to practice after missing a session earlier in the week. Hill was listed on the injury report with a hip ailment, but his status for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots is still unknown. Offensive coordinator Frank Smith declined to comment on Hill's status, deferring to coach Mike McDaniel, who is scheduled to speak to reporters on Friday. If Hill is able to play, the Dolphins will have their top receiver on the field. Hill has been performing at a high level this season, leading the league with 902 receiving yards through seven games. Quarterbacks coach Darrell Bevell stated that there would be no change in quarterback Tua Tagovailoa's progressions regardless of Hill's availability.

In addition to Hill, several other players returned to practice after missing Wednesday's session. Running back Raheem Mostert, safety Jevon Holland, fullback Alec Ingold, and offensive lineman Robert Jones all participated in Thursday's practice. However, cornerback Cam Smith was absent due to a foot injury he sustained during Wednesday's practice, according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.

The Dolphins will release an injury report later on Thursday, providing more information on the players' participation levels and potential availability for Sunday's game. It remains to be seen how these injuries will impact the team's performance and game plan moving forward.
