Tyreek Hill injury update: Dolphins WR skips team drills due to thumb issue, catches balls without hand cast

The Miami Dolphins are already dealing with multiple injuries, and now their star wide receiver has apparently joined that list. Wideout Tyreek Hill was held out of team drills during Wednesday’s joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to a thumb injury. 

Hill — initially seen with a removable brace on his right hand during Tuesday’s practice — did participate in some portions of Wednesday’s practice, according to head coach Mike McDaniel, who added that the team is trying to make sure that Hill does not turn a minor injury into a serious one.
