The Miami Dolphins took down the New York Jets 27-21 in Week 4 for their first victory of the NFL season.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and running back De’von Achane had arguably their best performances so far this season, and the Dolphins getting their first win was likely a big confidence boost, though it came with some incredibly unfortunate news in the third quarter.
It was announced on Tuesday that star receiver Tyreek Hill would miss the remainder of the season after dislocating his knee and tearing multiple ligaments including his ACL. Not only will Hill miss Miami's final 13 games, but it’s possible he’s not ready to go for the start of next season as well.

Fans Calling for Hill to Retire After Brutal Injury Update
Due to the severity of Hill's injury (some doctors have speculated it could even be career-threatening), and the fact that he’d be going into his 11th season next year, a lot of fans took to social media to urge him to retire.
"I think Tyreek Hill go retire .. he was already saying it," one fan said.
Another added: “Tyreek Hill gotta retire after that.”
"Yeah, Tyreek might retire,” another fan commented.
Another replied: “Tyreek Hill gonna retire… it’s never gonna be the same.”
"Can put all the Tyreek Hill rumors to bed… would be shocked if he didn’t retire after this," one user noted.
One fan pointed out that while he may not retire, his status as one of the league’s best may have come to an end.
“Tyreek Hill’s career is over… He’ll be 32/33 if he’s healthy enough to play again," they said.
Hill turns 32 in March and he’s not guaranteed any money next season. He does, however, have $16 million in guarantees that kick in three days after the new league year in March, which the Dolphins could look to avoid paying.
It wouldn’t be surprising to see Miami move on from Hill to save the money, which could force his hand if he has no other offers to play.
Even so, Hill hasn’t said anything about retirement as of yet, so it’s all speculation. But fans are clearly in agreement that the outlook for the rest of his career doesn’t look promising.
