The Dolphins suffered what is likely to be a massive loss while earning their first win on Monday night.

Miami wide receiver Tyreek Hill sustained a dislocated knee in the team's 27-21 victory over the Jets and will stay at a local hospital overnight for continued testing, head coach Mike McDaniel said postgame.

A dislocated knee is considered far worse than a dislocated kneecap, and often comes with multiple ligament tears, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

Hill was carted off the field after sustaining the gruesome injury in the third quarter and was taken to a hospital for imaging, evaluation and observation, according to the team, which quickly ruled him out for the remainder of the contest.

The injury occurred as Hill was being tackled by Jets defensive back Malachi Moore after making a catch along the sideline. The cart quickly came onto the field, and team trainers cut off his cleat in order to put Hill's leg in a stabilizer. Hill was checked on by members of both teams, and he smiled and waved to the crowd as he was carted to the locker room.

"He was probably in the best spirits of any player that I've ever -- it's such a terrible experience when you go out and see guys when they have issues like that -- but he immediately had wide eyes and was talking, 'I'm good. Just make sure the guys get this win.' He was focused on the team," said McDaniel, who noted Hill was joking with teammates while on the cart and credited Hill's attitude with keeping the team focused on the task at hand.

Miami was leading the game, 10-3, at the time of Hill's exit, and three plays later extended the margin to 17-3 on tight end Darren Waller's second touchdown catch of the contest. Though the Fins would go on to secure the win without Hill to move to 1-3, he still ended the game as their leading pass catcher with six catches for 67 yards.
