Tyreek Hill has broken his silence regarding the Indianapolis Colts schedule release controversy.
In their video on social media for the 2025 season, the Colts put together a Minecraft-themed video for all 18 weeks. In the first part of the video, to highlight Indianapolis' Week 1 matchup against Miami, they showed an actual Dolphin getting arrested by the Coast Guard.

The video was poking fun at Hill's run ins with the law over the last year. In September, on the way to the Dolphins' Week 1 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars at Hard Rock Stadium, Hill was arrested, handcuffed, and detained by police during a traffic stop close to the stadium. Video footage of the arrest went viral, although he was eventually released and permitted to leave and make it to the game on time. The citations for careless driving and failure to wear a seat belt were eventually dismissed after the officers failed to appear in court.
Last month, Hill was involved in an apparent dispute with his wife at their condominium, for which the police were called and came to the condo. The police declined to make an arrest or bring charges.
However, Hill didn't seem to mind it.
"Should’ve left it up@Colts, this was funny," the Dolphins receiver posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

After deleting the video, the Colts released a statement.
“We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft & included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek," the team said via Ari Meirov.

Here’s the video, which some saved…pic.twitter.com/xmDOLHooBs
ESPN's Adam Schefter added that the team actually reached out to Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, "to pass along their apologies to his client Tyreek Hill over their schedule release video."
The team also took some shots at other players in their video, with Arizona QB Kyler Murray riding a chicken and Kansas City QB Patrick Mahomes depicted as a frog - presumably "Kermit the Frog" - while standing between his father and John Rocker, who had a viral scuffle in New Orleans before Super Bowl LIX.
