Some unsettling footage of the Tyreek Hill detainment has come to light, and it appears that a police officer strikes the Dolphins star in the head as he sits.
Tyreek Hill, a player few would argue is the NFL Miami Dolphins' best, was detained and handcuffed Sunday near Hard Rock Stadium just hours before kickoff, yet it seems he will play.
A video resurfacing via social media shows the 30-year-old at the center of a swarm of law enforcement officers just yards from the stadium, where the Dolphins are scheduled to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars.
The video shows Hill, face-down in the grass, as officers yell commands at him. It appears one of the officers strikes him in the head as he is innocently sitting.

Details of the incident aren't well known, but the Dolphins wasted little time in issuing a statement.
"Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support. Tyreek and all other players involved have safely arrived to the stadium and will be available for today's game."

In spite of that, Tyreek Hill will gear up and head out with his team in Miami to host Jacksonville shortly.
