Tyreek Hill Injures Leg at Chiefs Practice, Reportedly Has Bruised Quad

Timothy RappJul 30, 2019

Kansas City Chiefs star wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a right leg injury during training camp practice Tuesday and has been diagnosed with a bruised quad, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

According to Nate Taylor of The Athletic, Hill suffered the injury on a hit by cornerback Bashaud Breeland:

Taylor noted that Hill was getting his right leg examined in the medical tent. He was then transported from the medical tent on a cart to undergo further testing.

While Schefter reported that Hill will be fine, it would be devastating for Kansas City's explosive offense to lose him at any point. The electrifying wide receiver registered 87 receptions for 1,479 yards, rushed for 151 yards and provided 14 total scores in 2018, providing the team with a home run threat deep down the field. But Hill is also dangerous on shorter passes given his ability to make defenders miss and take it to the house with every touch.

The NFL announced this month that due to a lack of evidence, it would not suspend Hill following an investigation into whether he physically abused his son. The NFL's statement read:

"Based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Accordingly, he may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities. He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commissioner Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention."

Hill and tight end Travis Kelce give superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes one of the most dangerous receiving duos in football. Hill remains one of the NFL's most dynamic playmakers, even if his off-field concerns have made him one of the league's most controversial figures.

If Hill is forced to miss time in the future, Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson and rookie second-round pick Mecole Hardman would be Mahomes' top options at wideout.
