Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a severe injury after his left knee became badly twisted shortly after he made a catch near the sideline during the team’s game against the New York Jets on Monday night. 

Hill is having surgery on Tuesday.  Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel confirmed Tuesday that Hill also tore multiple ligaments in his knee, including his ACL. 

Hill on Tuesday, posted a video to X from his hospital bed to express thanks for the prayers and support he has received.

"Thank you guys for the prayers, I feel all the love. Here we go," Hill wrote Tuesday.

NFL Network reporter Cameron Wolfe reported that McDaniel praised the medical staff for urgency and professionalism in eliminating worst case complications for Hill’s injury.

Wolfe noted that McDaniel said he’s heard only good things so far in regard to Hill avoiding nerve damage following very serious knee injury. McDaniel: "Several ligaments, including the ACL are part of the dislocation."
