NFL 2026: Chiefs weigh Tyreek Hill comeback while Dolphins players face proving tests

Former Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill, now with the Miami Dolphins, posted a rehab video showing progress after a severe leg injury that limited him to four games in 2025. Released by Miami, Hill’s recovery could attract interest from Kansas City as the Chiefs plan their 2026 roster, especially after quarterback Patrick Mahomes’ ACL injury and recent signings of veteran QB Justin Fields and RB Kenneth Walker III.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins enter the 2026 season under new GM Jon‑Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley with low external expectations. Seven players are highlighted as needing to prove their worth: quarterback Malik Willis, running back Jaylen Wright, rookie wide receiver Caleb Douglas, guard Jonah Savaii‑Naea, defensive tackle Kenneth Grant, and edge rusher Chop Robinson. Their performances will be pivotal for Miami’s progress.

Both stories underscore the offseason uncertainty for two NFL franchises as they shape their rosters ahead of the 2026 campaign.
