Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill missed most of the first half of Monday's against the Tennessee Titans with an ankle injury then returned in the third quarter.

He hurt his ankle on an awkward tackle in the first quarter. His left leg got pinned underneath his body on a tackle by Sean Murphy-Bunting. Hill clutched his leg and was slow to get up after the hit.

Once he got up, he was able to jog off the field to the sideline.

He made a brief trip to the medical tent then returned to stand on the sideline without his helmet as the Dolphins listed him as questionable to return with an ankle injury.

Miami's offense struggled without him on the field and failed to score as the Dolphins went into halftime trailing, 10-7. The Dolphins' only score arrived via a pick-6 of Will Levis by defensive lineman Zach Sieler inside the Tennessee five-yard line.

A Dolphins offense known for its explosiveness produced 175 yards in the first half. Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa completed 9 of 13 passes for 84 yards without his top target sidelined for most of the half.

Hill didn't join the Dolphins offense to start the second half, but returned to the field for Miami's second drive of the half with the game tied at 10-10.
