Tyreek Hill could lose Miami Dolphins captaincy after what happened at the end of last season

The Miami DolphinsTyreek Hill's preseason was apparently not as hellish as the receiver predicted earlier in the year. During the team's organized activities on Wednesday, he gave a glimpse of his commitment to 2025 and even a tone of regret, after his actions at the end of last season, a few months later, he its that he would not be surprised to be left out of the group of captains for the first time since he arrived at the franchise.

The Hill of this preseason is not the one who predicted hell in January. He is calmer, lighter and with a clear goal: to regain the trust of his teammates and prove that he can still be a leader in Miami.

"I have to prove my worth... In these organized team activities, in training camp. I have to show up differently. The mentality has to be different," Hill said according to the AP agency.

In addition to physically healing, he has also worked on his condition: he looks visibly slimmer. He has lost five kilos since he arrived in Miami with the intention of improving his endurance. "Obviously I can run with anyone, but I wanted to lose weight so I wouldn't get tired on third downs," he explained.

The 30-year-old receiver has spent the preseason recovering from two procedures on his right wrist, where he has been suffering from a ligament injury since 2024. Although he did not participate in 7-on-7 drills during the first media open practice, he did do individual work and was always encouraging his teammates.

"I put myself in that position," he said Wednesday. But Hill is not content with self-criticism: he has started his fourth season with the Dolphins with a different, more reflective attitude. He turned to therapy and church to let go of frustration, and has set out to reconnect with his best self. "I want to be part of something special. I want to win," he said.
