Tyreek Hill’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, called the Miami Dolphins star’s detention on Sunday – just hours before the team’s season-opener – “heartbreaking, upsetting and uncalled for” in an interview with CNN on Monday. Speaking to CNN’s Sara Sidner, Rosenhaus said he was “in disbelief” about what took place. “Tyreek was just trying to get to work, trying to play a game, just trying to do his job,” Rosenhaus said on CNN News Central. “For police officers to detain him, to put him on the ground like that, to put their knee on him, to hit him – it’s just devastating.” Several videos on social media showed Hill being handcuffed and on the ground with four officers surrounding him before the team’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Dolphins said on social media that Hill had been “briefly detained” by police after a traffic incident one block away from Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium and was released shortly afterwards. It’s still unclear exactly what led to Hill being detained by police. The Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) declined to provide further details about the incident to CNN, citing an ongoing investigation. MDPD Director Stephanie V. Daniels said on Sunday that an investigation has begun into the incident and that one of the officers involved is being placed on administrative duties. MDPD police confirmed to CNN that a second Dolphins player, Calais Campbell, was also handcuffed when trying to discuss the situation with officers at the scene.
