The Miami Dolphins and Cleveland Browns are squaring off on Sunday in a Week 7 matchup. Each team is 1-5, searching for their second win of the season.
The Dolphins are, of course, without star wide receiver Tyreek Hill, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 against the New York Jets. Before getting hurt, Hill had racked up 21 receptions, 265 yards and one touchdown on 29 targets.
Losing him has been a big loss for Miami's offense, ranking 17th in points per game (22.3). Going into halftime against the Browns, the Dolphins continued to struggle, trailing 17-6.
Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had completed just five-of-12 passes for 37 yards, zero touchdowns and zero interceptions through two quarters. He also fumbled three times.
As the Dolphins look to avoid a 1-6 start, Hill made it clear he's still supportive, sending a message to his team via an X post.
"let’s go fins let’s turn this thing around in the second half," Hill wrote.

Unfortunately, though, in Miami's first drive of the second half, Tagovailoa threw a pick-six to Browns cornerback Tyson Campbell, leading to a 24-6 deficit.
After the 2025 season, the Dolphins are expected to go through several major changes, with head coach Mike McDaniel firmly on the hot seat. Another big move could involve Hill.
"League sources expect the Dolphins to release Hill before the start of the next league year in March 2026," writes CBS Sports reporter Jonathan Jones.
The 31-year-old wide receiver is under contract with Miami through the 2026 season. As an eight-time Pro Bowler, he'd still generate a lot of interest on the open market.
Even though Hill may have played his last snap for the Dolphins, it's clear he's still heavily invested in seeing the team turn the 2025 season around. A loss to the Browns, though, would be another big blemish.
