Andy Reid Announces Tyreek Hill Will Return to Chiefs Practice Wednesday
By Michael Luciano
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill has been out since the first quarter of a Week 1 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars with a collarbone injury.
Even with a 4-0 team forming around him, it's been a while.
Ahead of a Sunday Night Football matchup against Jacoby Brissett and the Indianapolis Colts, Andy Reid announced that Hill is back at Chiefs practice, but stopped short of saying that he will return to action this week.
Tyreek Hill will practice today. His first practice since injurying his collarbone against the Jaguars Week 1.

Hill signed a contract in the offseason that made him the highest paid player at his position in the league, but hasn't really gotten the chance to show his worth yet this year.
While the likes of Sammy Watkins, Demarcus Robinson, and Mecole Hardman have more than held down the fort in his absence, there is no denying that Hill's speed can change the course of a game, and having him back in the lineup is going to be a major boon for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs.
Tyreek Hill is out here running routes and looks really good. Today is 3 weeks from his injury. I’m told he will be evaluated this week and they’ll see where he is heading into next week. pic.twitter.com/D1Ozz52Rem

It's not like Mahomes and that offense have desperately needed Hill's speed, but having him on the outside will only make them more of a nightmare to game plan for.
