Tyreek Hill Dodges Detainment Question … Grateful For Teammates’ Support
3:12 PM PT — Hill‘s teammate, Calais Campbelltold a reporter after the game that cops also slapped handcuffs on him during the incident … adding he understands why, but it still made him feel a certain type of way.
Tyreek Hill’s not ready to talk about his detainment yet … telling a reporter after the Dolphins dramatic win Sunday he won’t get into specifics — but, he’s grateful for all the support.
The wide receiver spoke to a CBS sideline reporter after the Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made a 52-yard kick to beat Jacksonville 20-17 … and when asked exactly what went down this morning, he immediately waved off the question.

Watch the clip … TH says he’s going to let the facts of the situation come out before he speaks on it publicly — adding he plans to learn from the situation.
That said … Tyreek’s shouting out his teammates for showing him love during the incident — saying it shows they’re more of a brotherhood than just a team.
Tyreek’s got jokes too … saying he told his wife, Cook Vaccarohe planned to get to work and do his job — but, of course, it didn’t quite go down that way.
As you know … photos circulated online of Hill in handcuffsfacedown in the street before being sat on the curb by the cops. He was ultimately released and played the game.
The Dolphins released a statement earlier today saying Hill had been pulled over during a traffic incident and was detained … but, didn’t give further details. The director of the Miami-Dade Police Department says an Internal Affairs investigation has been initiated.
TH referenced his detainment during the game … putting his hands behind his back after scoring an 80-yard touchdown, mimicking his earlier run-in with the police.
Seems he’s keeping his thoughts to himself … at least, until more information comes out.
