The Dolphins lost one of the fastest players on their offense when De'Von Achane exited their Week 11 game against the Raiders with a knee injury.
Now, the coaches will have to worry about the health of Tyreek Hill as well.
Hill left the game against the Raiders in the second quarter and headed to the locker room. NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe noted that Hill appeared to be favoring his hand while exiting the field.

It wasn't immediately clear when Hill suffered the injury. However, he wasn't on the field for the Dolphins on the drive following his trip to the locker room.

The Dolphins then announced that Hill was questionable to return with a hand injury.

That said, Hill was seen returning to the sideline with his helmet in hand as Salvon Ahmed scored a go-ahead touchdown for the Dolphins. And he was able to return to action in the second half.
After the game, Hill gave a simple explanation to his injury, saying a helmet hit his hand. He noted it wasn't serious.
"Man, I got my a— popped," Hill said, per ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques.
Hill's loss would have been a big blow to the Dolphins. His speed was proving to be a big weapon against a shaky Raiders secondary, as he had seven catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in the first half before exiting.
But with Hill in tow, the Dolphins will only have to worry about replacing Achane on offense as they look to finish off the Raiders in the second half.
