Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told ESPN that the star NFL player was detained by police over an alleged driving violation.

"I just left Tyreek and he is getting ready to play today," Rosenhaus.

Rosenhaus didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.

Miami released a statement.

"This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police," the team said on X. "He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. 

"Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today’s game."

The five-time All-Pro is looking to build upon a fantastic 2023 season. He was garnering MVP attention through most of last season. He finished the year with 119 catches for 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions. He led the league in receiving yards and touchdown catches.

Hill will be in his third season with the Dolphins but Miami is still looking for that elusive playoff victory.

Miami has not won a playoff game since the 2000 season – an AFC Wild Card victory over the Indianapolis Colts.
