Tyreek Hill claims police arrest caused aggravated wrist injury

Tyreek Hill hurt his left wrist in training camp, but the injury hasn’t stopped the five-time Pro Bowl wide receiver from trying to make something of the Miami Dolphins’ season.

On Monday, Hill continued to play through the pain of a torn ligament and caught his first touchdown since Week 1 in a 23-15 road win against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hill told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that his wrist injury became a concern because it wasn’t addressed on the football field. He said it became a problem after the police detained him and forced him to the ground during a traffic stop outside Hard Rock Stadium before the Dolphins’ season opener.

“He said he was quiet about it because he didn’t really know how to feel or what to do or how to deal with it because he’s not used to being hurt,” Salters said on Monday Night Football. . “He said the arrest messed me up,” and said, “I’m not going to let it stop me.”

Hill was listed as questionable for Monday’s game. His agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Hill reportedly decided to have wrist surgery an “internal” conversation..

Hill didn’t seem too concerned about his ailing wrist as he celebrated a game-clinching 1-yard TD catch. He chose to make a pro wrestling move with teammate Odell Beckham.

Hill regretted the choice of celly Tuesday morning. “(I will) never plan a celebration with Odell again,” Hill tweeted.
