Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill has announced that he will pay the salary of a photographer whose game credential was suspended by the NFL. The photographer, Kevin Fitzgibbons, was suspended for the remainder of the season for his role in Hill's touchdown celebration in Week 6. Hill took Fitzgibbons' cellphone and filmed himself doing a backflip after scoring, and Fitzgibbons was seen excitedly jumping up and down before leaving the field to send the clip to the NFL. Hill and Fitzgibbons both stated that the incident was unplanned, but the NFL did not appreciate Fitzgibbons' reaction. Hill has offered to cover any lost wages for Fitzgibbons.
