Raiders eye Tyreek Hill despite injury concerns
17 Feb
Summary
- Raiders aim to improve weak wide receiver group this offseason.
- Tyreek Hill is considered a potential target for the Raiders.
- Hill's recent knee injury raises questions about his speed and recovery.
The Las Vegas Raiders are prioritizing roster improvements this offseason, particularly at the wide receiver position, which is considered one of the league's weakest. Amidst this need, veteran wide receiver Tyreek Hill has emerged as a potential, albeit surprising, target.
While Hill's speed and skill set are attractive, his recent severe knee injury, including a dislocated kneecap and torn ligaments, casts doubt on his recovery. The upcoming 2026 season would mark his 11th in the NFL, and questions linger about his ability to regain his elite speed after such an injury.
Despite the risks, a healthy Hill alongside existing offensive talents like tight end Brock Bowers and running back Ashton Jeanty could create a potent attack. Head coach Antonio Pierce has emphasized a team-first approach, highlighting the need for all players, including receivers, to contribute to the overall success of the offense, especially in supporting running back Ashton Jeanty.
