Hill, 31, joined the Dolphins back in 2021 after being traded in from the Kansas City Chiefs.
He has established himself as one of the team’s most important offensive players.
There had been suggestions that he had asked for a move away this summer but they were denied by general manager Chris Grier.
However, he has picked up a shoulder injury that could keep him out of the team.
Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel has claimed that Hill is trying to practice despite his injury.
“He is, for clarity purposes, trying to practice, and he is working through oblique.
“It got worse because he was taking a route that was not on the books, so the medical staff had to jump in.
“Right now, we are trying to prevent it from being a lingering thing.
“He is trying to sneak his way into every rep; he is at the height of his competitiveness.
“We will see how we manage that.
“I know he is going all day and we have to hold him back, and we will see if we can.”
Hill has already been called out during preseason by team-mate Tua Tagovailoa.
The quarterback has insisted that Hill will need to improve his relationship with the team after he suggested he wanted to leave.
Speaking in July, Tagovailoa said: “I think there’s a lot more vulnerability with Tyreek.

“He’s conversating a lot more with the guys, not just about football, but about things off the field, being vulnerable about some of the things people know about his personal life and things of that nature.
“I think that’s the first step toward him building true relationships and a real connection with a lot of the guys in there.
“Everyone knows what he can do on the field, everyone respects what he can do on the field, but I think he’s still trying to figure things out for himself as well, the man he wants to be — and he’s not too young.
“Everybody makes mistakes, it’s just that some people are in the spotlight and their deals get pushed out more than some others. So you’ve just got to cut him some grace.
“That’s our teammate. We love him, but as a person I think if you get to know him you’ll love him too.”
Hill will be hoping he is back fit for the Dolphins’ season opener against the Indianapolis Colts on September 7.
