Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid addressed the speculation around the team potentially re-signing free agent wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Reid said the team is aware Hill is on the open market and working to get healthy after suffering a torn ACL last season, but stated "there's nothing happening there" in terms of a reunion at this time.

Why it matters

Tyreek Hill was a key part of the Chiefs' offense during his six seasons with the team, making the Pro Bowl six times and helping the franchise win a Super Bowl. His potential return would be a major storyline, but Reid's comments suggest the team is not actively pursuing a deal at this point.

The details

Hill, who is currently a free agent, posted videos of himself working out in Kansas City, leading to speculation he could rejoin the Chiefs. However, Reid said the team is not sure if Hill is even healthy enough to play right now after suffering a torn ACL last season. The coach said the team discusses all available players, but there are no active negotiations with Hill at this time.

  • Hill suffered a torn ACL in Week 4 of the 2025 NFL season, ending his year prematurely.
  • Reid addressed Hill's free agency status during a press conference on February 20, 2026.

What they’re saying

“Yeah, listen, we go through everything and everybody. That's how [G.M.] Brett [Veach] does. I don't even know if Tyreek is healthy right now to do anything. So, I'm sure he's working hard on that part of it, trying to get that all straightened out.”

— Andy Reid, Head Coach

“But yeah, listen, we talk about everything. So there's nothing happening there, but we know what you know — that he's out there and cranking away, trying to get himself back to where he can play, period.”
