Miami Dolphins Address Tyreek Hill Incident: 'Violent Conduct' Unacceptable
"We are aware of the recent incident involving Tyreek Hill and are concerned by the nature of the allegations," the statement read. "The Dolphins have a strong commitment to upholding the highest standards of conduct both on and off the field."
The statement continued, "Violent conduct is never acceptable, regardless of the circumstances. We will be cooperating fully with the authorities and conducting our own internal review."
According to police reports, Hill was pulled over for speeding on Saturday evening. During the stop, police officers observed a firearm in the vehicle and attempted to remove him from the driver's seat. Hill allegedly resisted arrest and a brief struggle ensued.
Hill was transported to a local jail and charged with aggravated assault on a police officer. The wide receiver has since been released on bond and is scheduled to appear in court on August 15.
In their statement, the Dolphins reiterated that they will not tolerate any form of violent conduct.
"We expect our players to set a positive example for our community and will not tolerate any conduct that puts others at risk," the statement said.

"We are deeply disappointed in Tyreek's behavior," the statement read. "We hold our players to a high standard and expect them to conduct themselves responsibly at all times."
The team concluded their statement by stating that they are committed to supporting their players while also holding them accountable for their actions.
"We will continue to work with Tyreek and provide the necessary support while also taking appropriate disciplinary measures," the statement said.
The incident involving Hill has cast a shadow over the Dolphins' preparations for the upcoming season. The team is scheduled to begin training camp on July 27 and will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in their season opener on September 11.
It remains to be seen what disciplinary measures the Dolphins will take against Hill. The team's actions will likely depend on the outcome of the ongoing police investigation and internal review.
