Berliner Tageblatt - Dolphins star Hill suffers gruesome injury in Jets clash

Super Bowl champion Hill -- one of the top receivers in the NFL -- exited in the third quarter at Miami's Hard Rock Stadium after being tackled by Jets cornerback Malachi Moore.

Footage of the incident showed Hill's leg twisted in an unnatural position as game officials signaled frantically for medical attention.

The 31-year-old was swiftly loaded onto a cart and wheeled off the field as he waved to fans, his left leg placed in a protective brace.

Hill's injury is another chapter in a career studded by success and controversy.

He was a key member of the Kansas City Chiefs team that won the Super Bowl in Miami in 2020, and helped the team return to the Super Bowl the following season.

However Hill's playing career has also seen plenty of off-field drama.

He pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery following an incident in 2014 where he was alleged to have choked his then pregnant girlfriend.

In 2019, he was investigated for child battery after an incident in which his three-year old son suffered a broken arm. No charges were ever filed in that case.

Last September, Hill was at the center of a confrontation with traffic police after he was stopped as he drove to the Dolphins season-opening game.

He was subsequently dragged from his car, and handcuffed on the ground in a case which raised questions about police treatment of minorities. Traffic charges against him were later dismissed.
