Tyreek Hill’s season for the Miami Dolphins came to a sudden end on Monday night, when the standout wide receiver's left knee became badly twisted shortly after he made a catch near the sideline.

Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel said Hill was diagnosed with a dislocated knee and confirmed Hill tore multiple ligaments, including his anterior cruciate.

An air cast was placed over his leg before Hill — cheering and clapping, acknowledging the cheers of fans—was taken off the field on a cart. He was then taken to a nearby hospital, the Dolphins said, “for imaging, evaluation and observation” of the knee injury.

“He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I’ve ever seen [have] such a terrible experience,” McDaniel said. “He immediately had wide eyes and was talking, ‘I’m good, just make sure the guys get this win.’ He was focused on the team.”

The Dolphins expected to learn more details on Tuesday, McDaniel said. Hill was undergoing an MRI exam and a CT scan late Monday night, his agent, Drew Rosenhaus, told Miami television station WSVN.
