Hill's 'No Power' Remark Is the Worst News Out of Miami's Camp So Far

Tyreek Hill said his injured left leg has "no power." That's a notable thing for a receiver to say out loud at the start of training camp, and it lands harder given the context: Hill played in just four games last season, finishing with 265 yards and a touchdown before his year effectively ended. The Dolphins were already working around his absence in 2025. The question now is whether they're building an offense that accounts for him or one that simply hopes he shows up.

The receiver room around him isn't offering much reassurance. Chris Bell is on the non-football injury list to start camp. Third-round pick Caleb Douglas, brought in specifically to add depth at the position, is listed as questionable. That leaves Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert as the names currently standing, with Washington the most proven of the group after a full 17-game season last year. It's a thin group for a team that needs its passing game to function on the road, where Miami went 2-6 in 2025.

As I noted last week, the defense is in reasonable shape — Brooks is healthy, the extension is done, the foundation holds. The problem is the other side of the ball. Tua Tagovailoa threw for 2,660 yards and 20 touchdowns in 14 games last season, and the offense showed it could move when healthy. But a quarterback needs someone to throw to, and right now Miami's receiver depth is one more setback away from genuinely thin.
