"The Miami Dolphins begin life after wide receiver Tyreek Hill on Sunday at Carolina. Hill, the team's best player since being acquired in 2022, is out for the season with a knee injury sustained in last Monday's 27-21 win over the New York Jets. Hill was a two-time Pro Bowl selection in his three full seasons with the Dolphins, established franchise records for receiving yards and touchdowns, and was voted No. 1 player in the league by his peers."
"Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (seven touchdowns, four interceptions, 93.2 passer rating), wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (17 receptions, 185 yards, two touchdowns) and running back De'Von Achane (246 yards rushing, 143 yards receiving, three touchdowns) will be relied upon heavily to put points on the board with Hill sidelined. Look for McDaniel to still look for deep passes to Waddle, but mostly utilize the run game such as last Monday when the Dolphins had 31 runs and 25 passes."
Tyreek Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury in the 27-21 win over the New York Jets, leaving a major receiving void after record-setting seasons and league peer recognition. The Dolphins are 1-3 and face the Panthers with offensive responsibilities falling to Tua Tagovailoa, Jaylen Waddle, and De'Von Achane, with increased use of the run game and involvement from Darren Waller, Malik Washington, and rookie Ollie Gordon II. Miami's run defense has allowed 158 yards per game, ranking 30th, with the front seven criticized for lack of physicality, discipline and missed tackles.
