Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel weighed in Wednesday on the domestic violence allegations levied against wide receiver Tyreek Hill, saying the organization is cooperating with the league.

"We've been in communication with the NFL and will let the process play out," McDaniel told reporters, via Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald.
McDaniel did not clarify exactly what process he meant. The NFL has not publicly commented on the matter, but the league often declines to address ongoing issues tied to the Personal Conduct Policy. Even without criminal charges, the NFL has the authority to conduct its own review and issue discipline if it finds cause.
The allegations surfaced Monday through court filings in Hill's divorce case. His estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, accused the star receiver of eight separate incidents of domestic violence dating back to early 2024. Hill has strongly denied the claims, with his attorney calling them a "shakedown" designed to damage his reputation.
For now, McDaniel and the Dolphins are leaving the situation in the league's hands. A review under the Personal Conduct Policy could hinge on whether Vaccaro chooses to cooperate with investigators and how her account is weighed against Hill's defense.
Hill, 31, is in the second year of a three-year, $90 million contract and remains one of the NFL's most high-profile players. His off-field future, however, now rests with the league's next steps.
The Dolphins are coming off an ugly loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the season-opener and host the New England Patriots on Sunday.
