Tyreek Hill confirmed it on Wednesday surgery was discussed as an option to fix his wrist injury, but the Miami Dolphins wide receiver isn’t ready to go that route.

“I’ve talked to a lot of people about this particular injury,” Hill said. “At the end of the day, man, I’ve just got to soak it up and just deal with the pain. It’s going to get worse the more I play, but I’ve got to take it out for my team. Like I’m here, I’m locked in no matter what , however I feel, you know?

“So even though I have to cut my wrist off, I’m still there because I love the game of football. Surgery was brought up, and it was talked about when I talked to some of the doctors. But you know what, it’s my calling at the end of the day and my calling is to stay out on the pitch.”

Hill has been dealing with the injury since a joint practice with the Washington Commanders in early August, a little less than two weeks after he signed a restructured contract. The injury was aggravated during the Week 9 game against the Buffalo Bills.

Hill was listed as questionable for Monday night’s game against the LA Rams, but he was in the lineup as he has been for every game this season and finished with just three catches for 16 yards but scored his first touchdown since the season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

“When you get someone out like that and of that caliber, it’s tough,” QB Tua Tagovailoa said after Monday night’s game. “It was tough. I mean, we found out literally (Sunday) night if he was going to play or not. It was a little nerve-wracking, if you will, but he was able to play and it was cool.”
