The Dolphins’ head coach, Mike McDaniel, addressed Hill’s current state during the postgame press conference. According to the Miami Dolphins, McDaniel said,

“I know he's at the hospital. I know he's staying overnight. I know it was a dislocation. He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I've ever – it's such a terrible experience when you go out and see guys when they have issues like that.”

However, McDaniels added that Hill’s attitude after being injured was something that even powered his teammates. The coach said,

“But he immediately had wide eyes and was talking, 'I'm good, just make sure the guys get this win.' He was focused on the team, so that's how much – that's what I know about it.…A good portion of the team, we had the offense up at the time obviously so they're already close to the hash, and specifically I saw him make eye contact and rip a joke or two to (Jaylen) Waddle and De'Von (Achane). And you know, I think a lot of guys got back into the game provoked by what he said verbally.”

According to The Spun, Hill went to a hospital after leaving the Hard Rock Stadium, where the game between the Dolphins and Jets was taking place, in a wheelchair. News outlets such as ESPN noted that Hill’s injury might rule him out of the entire season.
