Tyreek Hill blames drops on lack of reps with Tua Tagovailoa - ESPN

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill got his hands on three passes that ultimately fell incomplete during Sunday's 29-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers, two of which would have resulted in touchdowns.

When asked about them after the game, Hill attributed his drops to a lack of practice reps with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

«I feel like, at the end of the day, I need those valuable reps with Tua,» Hill said. «Those vet rest days are starting to show. I completely blame myself for not getting my head around and not seeing the ball because, if I see a ball, we're talking cross-court, 70-yard touchdown. But those Wednesday reps are definitely showing. As a leader, I've just got to be able to bite the bullet sometime and practice and get those valuable reps with QB1 because, if we're able to stay on the field on third down, who knows what could happen.»

Hill dropped a pass on third down during the Dolphins' opening drive. Later in the quarter, he dropped another third-down pass, this time in the end zone — although 49ers cornerback Deommodore Lenoir tipped the ball slightly at the last second.

Tagovailoa targeted Hill once again on an end zone route on third down late in the third quarter, but the pass was dropped. The Dolphins settled for field goals on both of Hill's end zone drops.

Hill was listed as questionable for Sunday's game because of a wrist injury, which he has battled throughout the season. He missed Wednesday practices in two of the past four weeks, and has been listed as limited or worse in at least one practice every week since Week 7. Leading up to Sunday's game, Hill missed practice Wednesday, practiced in full Thursday and was a limited participant Friday.
