Breaking News: Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill uncertain about future after knee injury, ‘happy’ with career he’s had…see more

In an interview with former Dolphins teammate (and burgeoning podcaster) Terron Armstead, the 31-year-old receiver said he hasn’t yet decided on his future but also would be content if he walked away from football soon.

“I’m happy with the career that I’ve had. I love playing football. I love it, but it takes a lot. It takes a lot on you mentally, it takes a lot on you physically.

“I’m at the point now where I need to have a conversation with mom, family, everybody. Wherever my mind is at the time, the decision will be made, but I know right now, I haven’t had time to live in the moment.”

That pursuit ended when an awkward tackle on the sideline resulted in a gruesome knee injury in a Week 4 Dolphins win over the Jets.

It’s the moment every athlete hopes they’ll never have to experience. For Hill, it produced a surprising sense of peace.

“When I got tackled, I immediately tried to get up … I’d seen that my leg was crooked,” Hill said. “I immediately started laughing because I’ve been able to play this game for 10 years, really my entire life, and I’ve been blessed with great talents and great gifts.

The amount of support I get from my family, it’s amazing. So I really wasn’t even thinking about the injury. I was thinking about the great times I’ve had playing this game.”
