Tyreek Hill Considered Day-to-Day Following Optimistic Injury Update

The Kansas City Chiefs' bye week could not have come at a better time with reference to the health of star playmaker Tyreek Hill. After the wideout underwent an MRI on his ailing hamstring after coming up lame Monday night against the Chargers, it was determined the injury is not serious.

In fact, given KC's Week 12 bye, it's likely he won't miss any games at all.

#Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill’s hamstring injury was deemed minor, source said. More like one a player would have in training camp and be cautious with. He’s considered day-to-day and with the bye, there is a real chance he doesn’t miss any time. He wanted to go back in vs. #Chargers.

Hill has a habit of making headlines for the wrong reasons, but there's no doubt that his home run ability and world-class speed are an essential asset for the Chiefs if they intend to make a deep playoff run this season. Through seven games in 2019, he has 33 catches for 543 yards and five scores, highlighted by an 11-reception turn against the Titans in Week 10.

There's no replacing the big play ability the Cheetah provides. If he is indeed ready to go against the division rival Raiders on the other side of the bye week, Kansas City will have every chance to start clamping down on the AFC West.
