WR Tyreek Hill

(As you’ve gone through everything with the wrist, has surgery ever been a consideration? Will you need do you think at some point?) – “Yeah, but I’ve been talking to a lot of people about this particular injury. At the end of the day, I just got to suck it up and just deal with the pain. It’s going to get worse the more I play, but I got get it out for my team. I’m here, I’m locked in no matter what, no matter how I feel. So even if I’ve got to cut my wrist off, I’m still out there because I love the game of football. Surgery was brought up and it was talked about whenever I talked to a few of the doctors, but it’s my call at the end of the day and my call is to stay out on the field.”

(Is it likely going to be needed in the offseason? Or does it depend on how it heals?) – “When that time comes around, I’m sure I’ll be in a good space to make that decision, but right now I’m not going to just give you a straight-out answer.”

(Everybody knows your obvious talent, the No. 1 player in the league voted by your peers. When you look at your numbers this year, what do you think?) – “I feel like for me, I feel like I took a step forward in my game. Our position coach, he has helped me develop becoming a full receiver which is blocking, being stronger at the catch point, running precise routes and stuff like that. A lot of people look at the numbers and say, ‘Oh, he was this and that,’ but I feel like as a player, I’ve gotten better. As a leader, I’ve gotten better, and I just feel like I’ve gotten better in that sense.”

(The constant two-high safety defenses, is that just taking away the deep passes this year?) – “I wouldn’t say that because there are ways, there are plays that you can build to go deep, man, But whenever that time comes, it’ll come. If we’ve got to run the ball 40 times to make teams believe we’re going to run the ball, then me and ‘J-Dub’ (Jaylen Waddle) – well, I’m going to speak for myself, Imma block my tail off.”

(What did that TE Jonnu Smith play, breaking tackles, getting down to the one-yard line, what’d that do for you? How did you react to that?) – “I was turned up, bruh. I like to see Jonnu (Smith), man, big play ability. That’s something we’ve been waiting on all year from Jonnu. He put it on tape with the Falcons, he put it on tape with the Titans and for him to be able to continue to make plays in this league like that, running through linebackers is impressive for a guy his size. I told him, ‘Look man, you got to find a way next time because you gave me the touchdown. I appreciate it though.’”

(To get the story straight with the injury from the beginning, what was the original injury going back to the preseason?) – “It was just like a small, little wrist injury. Nothing too crazy.”

(And then it got aggravated in the Week 1 detainment?) – “No, I wouldn’t say – I’d say Commanders week, when we had that joint practice; red zone play.”
