In Week 15, the Miami Dolphins defeated the New York Jets 30-0 even without the assistance of standout wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill sustained an injury when his ankle was rolled up on during a tackle during the team’s Week 14 Monday Night Football game against the Tennessee Titans.
Hill did not contribute as much to the offense as he usually does for the remainder of the game against the Titans. Without Hill in the mix, the Dolphins lost a two-touchdown lead late in the fourth quarter of that game.
Although they easily defeated the Jets, they will need to be at their best when they play the Dallas Cowboys in Week 16. Fortunately for them, Hill appears to be heading back toward returning to the field.
Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports that Hill returned to team practice on Thursday. He returned to the field for the first time, which is encouraging for his availability on Sunday afternoon.
Along with Hill, Wolfe also mentioned the return of running back De’Von Achane, cornerback Xavien Howard, and left tackle Terron Armstead to practice.
Hill leads the NFL in receiving yards and touchdowns with 1,542 and 12, respectively, despite missing one game. Having caught 97 catches this season, he still has a chance to break Calvin Johnson’s all-time receiving record and reach 2,000 yards, which was his preseason objective.
The Dolphins offense must be salivating to get on the field in Week 16 after witnessing what the Buffalo Bills did to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. Since Miami boasts the NFL’s most potent offense, the Bills saw very little resistance when moving the ball.
They outplayed the formidable Jets defense even without Hill. He was leaning toward; The Dolphins, who are back in the starting lineup, will give the Cowboys everything they have this weekend.
