SFTyreek Hill injury update: Out (knee)
Tyreek Hill remains a free agent after being found liable on two battery counts, and he is not on a roster.
Free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill was found liable for two counts of battery in a civil trial against his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro, with a Miami jury awarding her $500,000 in compensatory damages. The verdict came Tuesday, according to the Associated Press.
What happened
The jury found Hill liable for two of 10 counts, including incidents from January 2024 and April 2025. He was found not liable on the remaining counts, which included five counts of battery, one count of assault, and one count of continuing domestic violence, according to Defector’s Diana Moskovitz. No punitive damages were awarded.
The NFL has been monitoring the situation, a league spokesperson told ProFootballTalk, and the investigation into Hill has been ongoing since December 2025.
Context
Hill is a free agent after being released by the Miami Dolphins in February. He suffered a serious knee injury in September 2025, including a torn ACL and dislocated knee, according to Pro Football Network.
In Week 4 of 2025, Hill suffered the injury against the Jets, and he was released by Miami in February. The Kansas City Chiefs have contacted Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, according to Mike Silver via Underdog NFL.
Timeline
On October 5, the Chiefs were reported to have reached out to Hill’s agent, according to Mike Silver as shared by Underdog NFL.
Rosenhaus said in an interview with Josh Moser of WVSN that a deal “could happen at any time” and that Hill’s health is close to 100 percent, but not quite there yet. He also said Hill wants to join a winning team with a good quarterback.
Depth chart
Hill is not on an NFL roster. The Chiefs could be interested after injuries to Tyquan Thornton and Rashee Rice, according to Pro Football Rumors.

🏈 Fantasy impact
Hill has been dropped in 317,520 leagues on Sleeper in the last 24 hours. The jury verdict may further complicate a potential signing with Kansas City or any team. Managers should avoid adding Hill until there is clarity on his playing status and potential NFL discipline. He is not a viable fantasy option at this time.
