US Edition“He a team cancer”: NFL fans react as Tyreek Hill gets stripped of captain role by Dolphins
Tyreek Hill was excluded from the 2025 Miami Dolphins captains after his late-season withdrawal and trade request, while six other players earned leadership roles by player vote.
- On Monday, the Miami Dolphins announced their captains for the 2025 season in MIAMI GARDENS, Fla., notably excluding wide receiver Tyreek Hill for the first time since he joined the team.
- Following his 'I'm out' exit from the 2024 regular-season finale and locker-room remarks about wanting to 'play elsewhere', Tyreek Hill kept trade options open in January and later apologized, affecting teammate votes.
- Coach Mike McDaniel said the Dolphins chose quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, center Aaron Brewer, fullback Alec Ingold, linebacker Jordyn Brooks, defensive tackle Zach Sieler, and edge rusher Bradley Chubb as captains, praising their "resounding vote-getters" and team unity.
- Hill returned to practice last week and Coach Mike McDaniel said he is expected to play Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts; running back De'Von Achane also practiced Monday and is expected to play at Lucas Oil Stadium.
- Several players said Dolphins players still respect Tyreek Hill's energy, while team leaders framed the vote as rewarding those who 'earned it' to enhance culture and accountability.
