Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police Sunday outside Hard Rock Stadium for a driving violation but has been released from custody, the team announced.
The traffic incident happened about one block away from the stadium, the team said. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support, according to the team.
Hill is available to play in the team’s season opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the team said.
Sources told ESPN’s Jeff Darlington that Hill was stopped for speeding and then got into a verbal altercation with police and was subsequently placed in handcuffs.
Hill was cited for reckless driving, sources told Darlington.
