Star Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday morning entering the team’s stadium for its NFL Week 1 opener against the Jaguars due to a driving violation, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told multiple reporters.
Video footage appears to show Hill laying flat on his stomach outside his car getting handcuffed by police.
ESPN’s Jeff Darlington reports Hill was cited for reckless driving and got into a verbal altercation with police after being pulled over. He was released after being cited.
Hill, 30, is active for Sunday’s game.

“It’s very upsetting … to see the way he was treated,” Rosenhaus said during a television interview with NFL Network inside the stadium after the incident.
“It’s unnecessary. there’s no reason Tyreek should’ve been treated that way.”
