Officers cited Hill for reckless driving and placed him in handcuffs after they got in a verbal dispute.
The Miami-Dade Police Department quickly released a statement after Hill was released and allowed to enter Hard Rock Stadium.
"We are aware of the recent detainment of Miami Dolphins player Tyreek Hill by Miami-Dade Police Department officers," Director Stephanie V. Daniels said in the statement.
"I have requested an immediate review of all details surrounding the incident, and we are also reviewing available body camera footage."

It was later revealed that teammates arrived to the scene to support Hill.
Defensive lineman Calais Campbell tried to deescalate the situation with the officers, but he was also put in handcuffs.
"He said I was too close to the scene and then I think he said something about me not moving my car in time, I don't know," Campbell explained.
"He told me I wasn't being arrested but he cited me for being detained and then released."

The situation was eventually cleared up and Hill was able to play in the game, going for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Dolphins' win.

"We're just going to let bygones be bygones," he said.
While he is putting the situation behind him, the Miami-Dade Police Department is investigating the incident.
