INGLEWOOD, Calif. (AP) — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was active Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hill had been questionable because of a torn wrist ligament. This injury, along with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa’s extended absence due to a concussion, has led to a significant decline in Hill’s performance.

He entered the game with 446 yards receiving and a touchdown in eight games, having not surpassed 100 yards or scoring since the season opener against Jacksonville. Hill had at least 1,700 yards in each of his first two seasons with Miami. He previously spent six seasons with Kansas City.

Hill, 30, has at least 1,200 receiving yards in each of the last four seasons. He led the NFL with 1,799 yards and 13 touchdown catches in 2023 and agreed to a restructured contract with more guaranteed money in August.

The Dolphins’ inactive players were running back Jeff Wilson Jr. (knee), cornerback Ethan Bonner, fullback Alec Ingold, cornerback Storm Duck, linebacker Mohamed Kamara, offensive lineman Andrew Meyer and wide receiver Dee Eskridge.

The Rams did not have starting right tackle Rob Havenstein (ankle) and reserve defensive lineman Neville Gallimore (shoulder/neck) available because they were previously ruled out. They got offensive linemen Steve Avila and Jonah Jackson back after a long absence.
