It turns out that the removal of ping-pong tables in the Miami Dolphins' locker room will only be temporary.

Vital breaking news: Tyreek Hill says he has ordered a special Miami Dolphins ping-pong table to replace the previous one, which wasn’t up to standards. Says it’s just a past time and that it in no way interferes with football preparation.

Tyreek Hill says today the real reason the ping-pong table is out of the Dolphins locker room is he’s working on getting a new custom-designed Dolphins table to replace it. He said the old one had gotten bent. The player tournament is still on(!), according to Hill.

It was reported Wednesday that Dolphins players had decided to remove the tables in order to better help them with game preparation. Miami raced out to a 3-0 start in September but have dropped back-to-back games since.

The Dolphins will host the 4-1 Minnesota Vikings at 1 p.m. ET on Sunday and start rookie third-stringer Skylar Thompson under center. Both starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and backup Teddy Bridgewater have suffered recent concussions, but are on the mend.

Tagovailoa has been ruled out for Week 6, while Bridgewater will return to backup Thompson if he is cleared for action.
