After defeating the Los Angeles Rams 23-15 this past Sunday, the 3-6 Miami Dolphins may have a slight chance of making the playoffs this winter.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is back in action after suffering the third diagnosed concussion of his NFL career and is playing well, and their offense, which struggled mightily without him, seems to be back in gear.
Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been dealing with a wrist injury, but he said he will not have surgery on it and will instead play through the ailment, per FinsXtra.

Hill has consistently been considered one of the NFL’s three to five best wideouts over the last several years, but he’s having a down year this season, at least by his standards.
Through nine games, he has caught 37 passes for 462 yards and two touchdowns, although perhaps some of his struggles could be attributed to the concussion that forced Tagovailoa to sit out for four games.
While Hill only revealed his wrist injury just days ago, he also said it was aggravated when he was arrested by police just prior to Miami’s Week 1 game versus the Jacksonville Jaguars.
He reportedly has a torn ligament in his wrist, yet he has played in each of Miami’s nine games this year.
Miami has a couple of winnable games over the next two weeks against the Las Vegas Raiders and New England Patriots, and two wins against those teams would give them a 5-6 record, which could put them within striking distance of a wild-card playoff spot.
