Dolphins star Tyreek Hill detained by police entering stadium but will play in Week 1

Tyreek Hill was detained by police entering Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday morning ahead of the Miami Dolphins’ Week 1 game.

The NFL’s leading wide receiver from last season has since been released and will be available for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team confirmed in a statement. The Dolphins said that several teammates saw the incident and stopped to support Hill.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter shared a video of the incident, with Hill being handcuffed on the ground while surrounded by multiple officers.

ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reported that Hill was cited for reckless driving. He then got into a verbal altercation with the police, according to Darlington, and the officer then chose to handcuff Hill.

Hill is available to play in the team’s season opener, which kicks off at 1 p.m. ET in Miami. The 30-year-old wide receiver is entering his third season with the Dolphins after signing a restructured contract with $65 million guaranteed last month.

Law enforcement said the twin girls were home with a 15-year-old who was in charge of watching them while their parents went to the grocery store.

The teenager immediately called 911 when she found the girls in the pool.

A neighbor who witnessed the tragic incident said he heard a woman screaming, “Oh no, they’re not breathing, they’re not breathing.”

“Whoever it was, it was probably the mother,” the neighbor said. “She was really upset, and I feel sorry for her. My heart breaks for something like that. I wouldn’t know what would happen if it was one of mine.”

The girls were taken to the hospital, where they were pronounced dead.
