Is Tyreek Hill playing tonight against the New York Jets in Week 5?

Tyreek Hill's career with the Miami Dolphins is off to a great start.

Playing alongside new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa hasn't slowed Hill down at all. He is still dominating every defense that he faces. With Tua Tagovailoa set to be sidelined due to the concussion injury he suffered against the Cincinnati Bengals last week, Dolphins fans are worried about their team.

Despite Tua's absence, wide receiver Tyreek Hill is expected to play against the New York Jets in Week 5. Hill has been affected by a quad injury, but he was seen practicing yesterday.

Having Hill in the lineup against the Jets will be a huge boost for backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, who will play in place of Tua Tagovailoa in Week 5.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel didn't provide much of an update regarding the status of his star receiver Tyreek Hill, as he just said:

“I can say with 100% conviction that Tyreek Hill will play, or he won’t play — that’s all Saleh is getting.”

Mike McDaniel has done a remarkable job with the Dolphins so far, and not revealing the status of his star player ahead of the game might turn out to be a smart move for his team.

Hill was traded from the Kansas City Chiefs to the Dolphins in the offseason. Many doubted whether his output would remain the same without Patrick Mahomes.

Tyreek Hill is expected to be matched up against Ahmed 'Sauce' Gardner

New York Jets v Philadelphia Eagles

Ahmed 'Sauce' Gardner was touted as a great player heading into this year's draft. He has fulfilled all the expectations that were set for him. He is off to a great start in his NFL career and already has a strong case for the Defensive Rookie of the Year award.

His matchup against Tyreek Hill is expected to be his toughest test so far in the NFL. Gardner did well to contain Ja'Marr Chase in Week 3, and he will hope to do the same against Hill in Week 5.

Hill is one of the fastest players in the NFL, but Gardner is pretty quick as well, and fans of both teams will be excited to see how this duel will pan out. Teddy Bridgewater will hope to provide Hill with good passes as he looks to bag the Dolphins' fourth win of the season.
