Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (10) is tended to by medical staff after injuring his leg against the New York Jets during the second half at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens on Sept. 29, 2025.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has spoken for the first time since suffering a gruesome knee dislocation during his team's 27-21 "Monday Night Football" win over the New York Jets.

Hill posted a video to his social media accounts Tuesday before having surgery to repair his injury.

The 31-year-old, while lying in a hospital bed, expressed his appreciation for the messages of support he has received since suffering the major injury.

"You guys have been awesome," Hill said to the camera. "Fans, nation, just the whole entire NFL. Again, amazing. Sending me lots of love, lots of prayers. I'm absolutely honored."

Hill was smiling throughout his message, just as he was when he was carted off following the devastating injury during Monday night's game.

That said, the veteran wide-out also briefly lamented the situation and requested fans "keep your boy in your prayers" at the beginning of his message.

Hill's knee dislocation came with multiple ligament tears, including one to his left ACL, and has thrown his status for the 2026 NFL season into doubt.

Nonetheless, Hill's message was one of gratitude as he prepares for a long road to recovery.

"I love you guys so much," Hill told his fans. "Hope to see you soon."
