Tyreek Hill literally said his surgically repaired knee had “no power” this July in a video posted online. Now, his agent Drew Rosenhaus is telling us they are “playing it on the safe side” for any NFL comeback, with doctors advising Hill to hold off until at least October.
Rosenhaus: Doctors Advise Delay Despite Team Interest
Drew Rosenhaus, Hill’s agent, dropped the news Wednesday on The Pat McAfee Show, confirming they are absolutely “playing it on the safe side” as the eight-time Pro Bowler preps for a possible NFL return this season. Teams are definitely showing interest, Rosenhaus said, which isn’t a shocker for a talent like Hill. But here’s the real kicker: doctors have specifically advised Hill to delay his comeback until at least October. So, even with all that buzz, we’re gonna be waiting a bit longer to see the Cheetah back on the field, and you gotta wonder just how cautious they really need to be if he’s actually ready.
From League-Leader to ACL Tear: Hill’s Rollercoaster
Man, remember peak Tyreek? The 32-year-old was undeniably the NFL’s most electric pass-catcher. Back in 2023, he absolutely torched the league, leading everyone in receiving yards with a ridiculous 1,799 and hauling in 13 touchdown grabs. He was basically unguardable. But then, things got rough. His production dramatically fell off in 2024, and his 2025 campaign tragically ended after just four games. The reason? A brutal dislocated left knee and a torn ACL in the very same knee. It’s been a long road back, and Hill himself has been documenting every step. In a video he posted online this July, he confessed, and I quote, he had “no power” in that surgically repaired knee. That’s a gut punch, right? However, there’s a glimmer of hope, because he did appear to be moving much better during a workout earlier this month. What a comeback story it could be, if he gets there.
The “80 Percent” Tyreek Hill Effect
But let’s be real, you know Drew Rosenhaus. He’s a masterclass in generating interest, and managing the optics for his clients is basically an art form. It absolutely wouldn’t be a big surprise if Hill effectively has standing offers with multiple teams already. Why? Because despite the injury and the age, his proven track record speaks for itself. Even a version of Hill that’s “only” 80 percent of his old self would make a massive, game-changing impact on almost any offense in the league. General managers and coaches are clearly still seeing that incredible upside, talking themselves into the potential of post-injury Hill, and frankly, who can blame them?
So, for now, we wait. October is the earliest we might see Tyreek Hill again, and every team looking for a veteran spark will be watching closely. What kind of player steps onto the field then? That’s the million-dollar question for the rest of the 2026 season.
