NFL injury tracker Week 11: Tyreek Hill putting off wrist surgery, Amari Cooper ready to return, Christian Barmore back for Patriots

Tyreek Hill said on Thursday that he might need surgery on his wrist, but he is willing to wait until the offseason to take care of the issue.

“At the end of the day, I just got to suck it up and just deal with the pain,” Hill said. “It’s going to get worse the more I play, but I got to [tough] 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.”

The Miami Dolphins wide receiver injured the wrist during a joint training camp practice with the Washington Commanders. The discomfort has only increased as the 2024 season has gone on and Hill sat out the team’s final two practices last week and was listed as questionable ahead of their game on Monday night against the Los Angeles Rams.

Hill is expected to play this week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Amari Cooper has missed the team’s last two games with a wrist injury suffered in Week 8. Cooper said this week he feels ready to return after being limited in practice.

“Definitely feeling better. Definitely more comfortable,” Cooper said. “So, just ready to play football again.”

Cooper will continue to wear a cast on the wrist and said he does not feel any pain catching passes, he just needs to get used to it wearing it while playing.

The Bills will be without Keon Coleman for a second straight week as he’s dealing with a wrist injury of his own. Tight end Dalton Kincaid is trending towards missing the Chiefs game with a knee issue.
