Dolphins star Tyreek Hill was “briefly arrested” following a traffic accident just hours before Miami’s season-opening game on Sunday, the team said on social media.

“This morning, WR Tyreek Hill was stopped for a traffic accident about a block from the stadium and was briefly detained by police,” the Dolphins X account said.

“He has since been released. Several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer assistance. Tyreek and all other players involved arrived safely at the stadium and will be available for today’s game.”

A video of the incident showed police picking up Hill, handcuffed, from the street.

Hill’s agent Drew Rosenhaus told ESPN the incident began with a traffic stop as Hill was driving to the stadium.

“Apparently he got a ticket for a traffic violation when he entered the stadium,” Rosenhaus told ESPN. “How the situation escalated to where they were handcuffed and held on the ground by police is beyond me.”

CNN has reached out to police for more information.

Rosenhaus confirmed to ESPN that he had spoken to Hill and shared his client’s account of the incident.

“He got a traffic ticket and will focus on the game. We will take care of it afterward,” Rosenhaus told ESPN.

Rosenhaus said the argument unsettled Hill.

“The most important thing is that Tyreek is physically OK. Mentally he was very distraught about what happened,” Rosenhaus told ESPN. “Tyreek has told me time and time again that he is a huge supporter of the police. He told the police there, ‘I want to be a police officer in the future.’ But this is crazy, I’ve never experienced anything like this.”

Hill, 30, is one of the best wide receivers in the NFL. Last season, he led the league in receiving yards with 1,799 and also scored 13 touchdowns.

The Dolphins will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in their Week 1 game on Sunday at Hard Rock Stadium, kicking off at 1:00 p.m. ET.
