BREAKING NEWSTyreek Hill is seen for the first time since being handcuffed and hit by cops on his way into Miami stadium – as Dolphins star warms up for Jaguars game

Tyreek Hill was seen warming up for the Miami Dolphins ahead of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday – just hours after being detained by police on his way to Hard Rock Stadium. 

Hill, 30, was pinned to the ground and handcuffed by police while making his way to the stadium in astonishing scenes.

The wide receiver even appeared to be struck by an officer unprovoked in a shocking video after being cuffed on the sidewalk just one block away from Hard Rock.

 

After being released by cops, Hill was able to head to the stadium and join up with his teammates. He is still in line to start for Miami against Jacksonville.

And with kickoff approaching, the five-time First-team All-Pro could be seen going through the gears on the field ahead of the game.

While driving to the game, he was ordered to pull over around one block away from Hard Rock after being cited for ‘reckless driving’, according to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington.

Hill, who is entering his third season with the Dolphins, was then seen being detained on the ground and led away in cuffs following a reported alleged altercation with an officer, before cops released him shortly after.

Several of his Miami teammates are said to have pulled over to help deescalate the situation.

After a clip of a police officer seemingly charging at Hill and hitting him during his detention went viral, X users immediately called them out on the excessive force used during what was labeled a ‘minor’ traffic offense.

‘Why they do him like that ??? that my question cause he black,’ one user wrote.

‘Racist cops tried to arrest Tyreek Hill,’ another added. ‘That’s some bulls***.’

‘@MiamiDadePD y’all got some explaining to do for the racist shit your cops pulled with Tyreek Hill this morning,’ a third wrote. ‘Clearly at least one of your officers thought he was an easy target as a black man with a nice car. Racist much? If there is no accountability then expect @CivilRights

A fourth fan chimed in and wrote: ‘Tyreek Hill is going to have monster game today after some racist cops arrested him before the Dolphins game today.’

In a statement given to DailyMail.com, Miami Dade Police Department confirmed they will review all of the details surrounding Hill’s detainment, including bodycam footage of the incident.

Director Stephanie V. Daniels said: ‘We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers. I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage.

‘We will provide updates as further information becomes available.’

The Dolphins confirmed their player was safe and with his teammates at the stadium in a statement later on Sunday morning.

The team’s statement read: ‘This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium and briefly detained by police. 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.’

Despite his client being released, Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, has described the incident as a ‘heartbreaking situation’ which was ‘completely unnecessary’ and suggested they will take action.

Rosenhaus also branded his client’s brief detainment as ‘mindboggling’.

‘I’m very distraught about it,’ he told Darlington on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown. ‘We’re going to have to look into it.’

The agent added that he was ‘just thankful Tyreek is OK’ and thanked the team for helping to deescalate the situation.

On what Hill told him after the incident, Rosenhaus revealed: ‘He said he was driving into the stadium, the police stopped him, took him out of the car and basically at that point got rough with him.’

‘It’s a legal situation so I’ve got to be careful not to get into too many details,’ he continued. ‘But he was entering the stadium when all of this happened. All the extra stuff that happened just seems, from my perspective, completely unnecessary.

‘I’m very distraught about it, I was greatly worried about Tyreek. But thank god when I got there the situation was calming down.’
