Tyreek Hill said he has just one thing on his mind.
Speaking to the media for the first time since his ex-wife alleged domestic abuse during their marriage, Hill said Fridau that his focus is on “playing ball.”
“My focus right now is just playing ball, and spending time with my kids and just doing what I’m best at: providing for my family,” Hill told reporters. “So all the noise, I feel like if you allow that kind of stuff to get in the way of what you’re trying to do, it can only cloud what you’re really trying to get accomplished.”
Hill declined to speak on his ongoing divorce case, in which his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, alleges that there were eight instances of domestic violence dating back to January 2024, according to court documents viewed by TMZ.
The eight-time Pro Bowler denied Vaccaro’s allegations through a statement released by his attorney on Monday, saying that the accusations are a “shakedown” to try and “generate bad media coverage.”
The NFL is conducting an investigation into the matter, with a league spokesperson saying Wednesday that it is “standard policy for the league to review a matter such as this,” per ESPN.
Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters that the team has “been in communication with the NFL and will let the process play out.”
On the field this season, Hill was seen visibly frustrated on the sidelines as the Colts beat Miami in a 33-8 blowout in their season-opener. Hill had led the Dolphins with four catches for 40 yards.
Dolphins team captains held a players-only meeting on Tuesday to address accountability and being on the same page for their Week 2 contest against New England.
Despite not being named a captain for this season, Hill, 31, said the meeting will help Miami in the long run.
“The standard is the standard each and every day,” he said. “Holding guys accountable … I think the biggest thing is accountability. You know what I’m saying? Guys got to be able to receive it in a certain way and not feel attacked.
“So I feel like if we approach it that way, we’re going to be fine. Man, we got a real good shot at winning this week. I feel like the guys attacked the practice field the right way and we got better. So I think it was a beautiful thing.”
