Tyreek Hill became a free agent Feb. 16 when the Dolphins released him. The star wide receiver continues to rehab from a dislocated knee and multiple torn ligaments, including his ACL, in a Sept. 29 game against the Jets.
He is not ready to return yet, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, said Friday on The Pat McAfee Show.
“I don’t expect Tyreek to sign before the season,” Rosenhaus said. “He sent me video yesterday . . . of him running hills, and he looked great. I said to him, ‘You look great.’ He said to me, ‘I still have some work to do. I’m not ready yet.’
“I am not pressuring Tyreek. Nor am I setting a timeline for him. I think that what I have said to Tyreek is, ‘Take your time. It’s not when you come back. It’s how you come back. We want you to come back when you feel your best. There’s no sense of urgency timing wise. I think this is a future Hall of Famer who still has a lot of good football left in him. This was a devastating injury, but everyone’s going to be so impressed when they see how well Tyreek has rehabbed. It’s not hyperbole for me to predict that he will play this season. When I’m not sure, but I do think when he does sign, he will be a coveted player. He’ll be the kind of guy that will impact the playoff race and will certainly be successful when he signs.”
Hill said in a video he posted to social media on July 22 that he still has no power in his left leg after two surgeries.
He made 21 catches for 265 yards with one touchdown last season.
