Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill To Be Re-Evaluated This Week

Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill was out running routes ahead of the team’s Week 4 game against Detroit and will be re-evaluated this week as the team heads into Week 5, per James Palmer.  

Hill had been sitting out with a clavicle injury suffered Week 1. It’s been three weeks since the injury and the initial timeline put Hill’s return between four and six weeks. 

Hill did not need surgery on the injury, which caused him to be taken to the hospital after a hit dislocated his clavicle and pushed it into his sternum. While this type of injury can be serious and sometimes needs surgery, doctors were able to reset the bone from the outside. 

Hill, 25, is a former fifth-round pick of the Chiefs back in 2016. He was entering the final year of his four-year, $2.58 million contract when the Chiefs signed him to a new three-year $54 million extension a few days ago that includes $35.2 million guaranteed.

In 2018, Hill appeared in 16 games for the Chiefs and caught 87 passes for 1,479 yards receiving and 12 touchdowns to go along with 151 yards rushing and a touchdown. Hill also totaled 213 punt returns and one touchdown. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 7 receiver out of 117 qualifying players.
