Tyreek Hill has had a second procedure on his wrist, posting from his hospital bed on Wednesday that everything went according to plan.
Hill had an initial operation on a ligament issue earlier this year and now has undergone a follow-up to remove screws, according to ESPN.
The wide receiver shared a picture from his hospital bed – where he looked a little drowsy – saying: ‘Surgery went amazing today!!!’.
Hill hurt his wrist in a practice game against the Washington Commanders but played through the pain for the Dolphins in 2024 rather than have what would have been season-ending surgery.
Hill’s future at the Dolphins has been under scrutiny in recent months.
He appeared to take himself out the team’s final game of the 2024 season against the New York Jets, with head coach Mike McDaniel then denying Hill’s claim that he was hurt and couldn’t play.

Then, speaking with reporters after the game, Hill was visibly unhappy at missing the postseason.
‘This is my first time I haven’t been in the playoffs, man,’ Hill said. ‘So I just got to do what’s best for me and my family.
‘I’m opening the door. I’m out bro. It was great playing here, but at the end of the day I gotta do what’s best for my career because I’m too much of a competitor to be just out there.’
Hill has also been in the headlines after police were recently called over a domestic dispute with his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, and he courted more controversy when answering a fan question on social media.
Meanwhile, Vaccaro recently accused the scandal-plagued NFL star of booting her out and taking their baby away without her consent in an explosive court document obtained by DailyMail.com.
The 33-year-old filed for divorce a day after cops responded to reports of an ‘assault in progress’ at the couple’s luxury Miami condo on April 7.
Hill, 31, hurled a laptop onto the floor and was ‘aggressive and impulsive’ according to Vaccaro’s mother Alesia – but police determined that ‘no crime was committed’.
In a fresh court filing, Vaccaro says the Dolphins wideout disappeared for several days before returning to their Miami apartment on April 17 to ‘unilaterally remove’ their four-month-old daughter, Capri.

Hill was detained outside Hard Rock Stadium ahead of the Dolphin’s Opening Day game
Ahead of the Dolphins’ Opening Day game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, Hill was stopped, pulled out of his vehicle, and put in handcuffs near Hard Rock Stadium.
Bodycam footage of the incident was later released and showed excessive force used by the Miami-Dade officers while pinning Hill to the ground. Since Hill did not appear to resist, the video caused an outcry from the masses.
Ahead of Miami’s Week 10 Monday Night Football showdown against the Los Angles Rams, Hill told ESPN’s Lisa Salters that he is dealing with a torn ligament in his wrist. He also noted that the injury was re-aggravated by his encounter with the officers.
‘He said it’s something that he’s really been dealing with all season long,’ Salters said in the broadcast. ‘He said it first started in training camp, but then he said it got re-aggravated when he was arrested right before the opening game of the season.
Hill finished the 2024 season with 959 receiving yards, well below his total of 1,799 yards from the year before, where he received MVP consideration.
