Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was cited for careless driving and a seat belt violation during his traffic stop before Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The Miami-Dade Police Department released the citations on Tuesday – one day after bodycam footage showed the intense moment the NFL player was pulled over, taken out of his vehicle and handcuffed while on the ground.

Hill was found to be in violation of Florida statute 316.1925, which defines careless driving as “any person operating a vehicle upon the streets or highways within the state shall drive the same in a careful and prudent manner, having regard for the width, grade, curves, corners, traffic, and all other attendant circumstances, so as not to endanger the life, limb, or property of any person. Failure to drive in such manner shall constitute careless driving and a violation of this section.”

Police said Hill was driving at a “visual estimation (of) 60 mph” in a 40 mph zone with no seat belt.

Hill was briefly detained during the traffic stop after an intense back and forth with officers. Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith were also given citations during the incident. They pulled over to see if Hill was OK during the incident, according to bodycam footage.

Manuel Morales, the chief of police for the Miami Police Department, released a statement on the incident.

“The body-worn camera depicting the interaction between members of the Miami Dade Police and Mr. Hill is hard to watch, but it’s a reminder that we must always strive to do better,” Morales said. “Despite no city of Miami Police involvement, I pray we can move forward and use this incident to forge a stronger partnership between our professional athletes, the community, and the brave men and women who are sworn to protect us all. When we work together, we all win.”

MIAMI GARDENS — Tua Tagovailoa passed for more than 300 yards, including an 80-yard touchdown pass to Tyreek Hill, as the Miami Dolphins beat the Jacksonville Jaguars, 20-17, on Sunday.

Jevon Holland forced a key fumble, Jason Sanders kicked the game-winner and defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver pitched a second-half shutout in his Dolphins debut.

The Dolphins overcame a 17-7 deficit that would have been 24-7 if not for Holland’s forced fumble.

“It’s one week, it’s one game, but it’s also something that we talk about as a team, being able to win games like that where everything doesn’t go your way, starting from before the game to the end of it,” Miami coach Mike McDaniel said. “Can there be galvanizers to bring a group together? Can you find moments of momentum to lean on? And can you play off each other making plays?”

Perhaps the Dolphins wouldn’t have won that sloppy game last season.

But a win is a win and stacking them, as they say, is what matters most.

Tyreek Hill was detained by police hours before the Miami Dolphins season-opener on Sunday. The reaction to the incident has been overwhelmingly in support of Hill and the release of the police bodycam footage has only solidified that stance for many.

The Miami Dolphins also put out a statement on Monday evening in support of Hill. The wording of the Dolphins’s statement is very strong considering this is an NFL team addressing law enforcement. Maybe even surprisingly so as they called the police’s actions towards Hill and teammates Calais Campbell and Jonnu Smith aggressive, violent, maddening, and heartbreaking.

Here’s the full statement.

“We are proud to have a strong and positive relationship with the Miami-Dade Police Department and other law enforcement agencies and recognize that the vast majority of officers do serve the community with the utmost character and desire to protect all citizens. However, as is on full display in the videos released tonight, there are some officers who mistake their responsibility and commitment to serve with misguided power. While we commend MDPD for taking the right and necessary action to quickly release this footage, we also urge them to take equally swift and strong action against the officers who engaged in such despicable behavior.”
