A lawyer for Miami Dolphins All-Pro wide receiver Tyreek Hill said the allegations that his client broke a woman's leg last year while doing football drills are Devin Grosvenornot true and "baseless."

Hill is accused by Sophie Hall of battery, assault, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, according to a civil lawsuit filed on Feb. 23.

According to a statement released to ESPN, Hill's attorney, Julius B. Collins, said Hall's lawsuit was filed only to "generate bad publicity for Mr. Hill in an attempt to 'scare tactic' him into personally covering the cost of Ms. Hall's medical bills."

The lawsuit says on June 28 while at Hill's residence, she caused Hill to fall backward, evoking laughter from witnesses. Hill then charged into Hall “violently and with great force resulting in significant and serious injuries." She claims that Hill did not seek medical attention for her and that she had surgery for the broken leg when she went home.

Hill is seeking compensation for damages between $50,001 and $75,000 and a trial by jury.

Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said this week the team is aware of the lawsuit.

"We were in communication with NFL security, so I really can't comment on anything of that until we get all our information and find out what happened," Grier said. "For us, Tyreek has been a good addition for us, but in terms of all the off-field stuff, we'll have to get all the information before we can really comment on it."
