"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. "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, where he garnered MVP attention through most of the year. He finished with 119 catches for 1,799 receiving yards and 13 touchdown receptions, leading 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. The team has not won a playoff game since the 2000 season, an AFC Wild Card victory over the Indianapolis Colts.

The incident has cast a shadow over the Dolphins' season opener, but the team has expressed confidence that the matter will be resolved quickly and that Hill will be able to focus on football.

Fans and analysts will be closely monitoring the situation as it unfolds, and hope that Hill will be cleared to play in the Dolphins' crucial opening game.
