The Los Angeles Rams are closely watching the status of several Dolphins ahead of their game against Miami in the friendly confines of SoFi Stadium. Perhaps the most important player they are watching is wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill injured his wrist and Hill, the speedster was unexpectedly added to the injury report on Friday. He did not practice on Friday and his status for Monday’s game is uncertain.
Hill’s Wrist Heating Up Ahead Of Rams Game
Miami head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Saturday that Hill will play on Monday night “if his body lets him,” via ESPN, as Hills’ wrist injury was “heating up,” so the team wanted to “let it cool down.”Â
Hill has caught 34 passes for 446 yards and just one touchdown in eight games played this season but now that Tua Tagovailoa is back in the lineup, he has caught 10 passes for 152 yards. Hill has averaged 106.5 receiving yards per game with Tua Tagovailoa as the quarterback. However, without Tagovailoa, his average drops to 55.3 receiving yards per game.
At various times this season, the Rams defense has struggled against versatile and particularly fast receivers. The Rams are allowing 225 yards per game and have allowed a recevier to pass the century mark in five of their eight games including 175 yards allowed the San Francisco 49ers Jauan Jennings and 180 to the Seattle Seahawks Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The Las Vegas Raiders Brock Bowers was seven yards away from passing 100 yards and the Packers top two receivers Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft put up 78 and 88 respectively against LA.
