The Miami Dolphins are preparing for their Week 2 clash with the New England Patriots, and all eyes are on wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill has been at the center of both on-field and off-field headlines, making his game-day status one of the most talked-about topics heading into Sunday.
Will Tyreek Hill play tonight (Sept. 14, 2025)?
Yes, Tyreek Hill will be active for today’s matchup against the New England Patriots despite the ongoing investigation into domestic violence allegations. Hill appeared on Miami’s injury report leading up to Week 1 but is not listed for Week 2. He played in the Dolphins’ season-opening loss to the Indianapolis Colts, logging 40 yards on four receptions across 62% of the team’s offensive snaps.Hill, who managed oblique and calf issues last week, enters this game without an injury designation. That means quarterback Tua Tagovailoa will have his top weapon available in a must-win divisional game. However, the NFL confirmed it is still reviewing recent allegations made by Hill’s estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro. Hill’s attorney has denied the claims, calling them an attempt at a “smear campaign.”

Women’s organization blasts NFL for allowing Tyreek Hill to play
The National Organization for Women (NOW) has publicly demanded Hill’s suspension while the investigation continues.“Tyreek Hill should not be playing while these charges are being investigated,” NOW president Kim Villanueva told TMZ Sports. “The NFL itself proudly proclaims that forty-seven percent of the NFL audience is women, and women are watching to see where the league stands today.”Villanueva criticized the NFL for its handling of the case, questioning commissioner Roger Goodell’s commitment to a zero-tolerance stance. “The NFL doesn’t just have a Tyreek Hill problem, it still has a violence against women problem,” she said. “How many times does the NFL and Roger Goodell need to learn the same lesson? They need to listen to women when it comes to domestic violence. They need to support survivors, not enable abusers.”The NFL confirmed Wednesday that it is investigating the allegations, though neither the league nor the Dolphins have moved to sideline Hill.
