Kansas City Chiefs talent Tyreek Hill won't be suspended by the National Football League following its investigation into alleged child abuse by the receiver, according to multiple reports around the league. This was later confirmed by a literal statement by the league.
For the sake of clarity: Hill was accused of breaking his three-year-old son’s arm by his fiancee, which began this entire ordeal.
The NFL actually released the following statement, affirming the initial reporting:
Over the past four months, we have conducted a comprehensive investigation of allegations regarding Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Throughout this investigation, the NFL's primary concern has been the well-being of the child. Our understanding is that the child is safe and that the child's ongoing care is being directed and monitored by the Johnson County District Court and the Johnson County Department for Children and Families.
In conducting our investigation, we have taken great care to ensure that we do not interfere with the county's proceedings or compromise the privacy or welfare of the child in any way. The information developed in the court proceeding is confidential and has not been shared with us, and the court has sealed all law enforcement records. Local law enforcement authorities have publicly advised that the available evidence does not permit them to determine who caused the child's injuries.
Similarly, based on the evidence presently available, the NFL cannot conclude that Mr. Hill violated the Personal Conduct Policy. Accordingly, he may attend Kansas City's training camp and participate in all club activities. He has been and will continue to be subject to conditions set forth by the District Court, Commissioner Goodell, and the Chiefs, which include clinical evaluation and therapeutic intervention.
If further information becomes available through law enforcement, the pending court proceeding, or other sources, we will promptly consider it and take all appropriate steps at that time.
It's certainly worth noting that the criminal investigation into the allegations against Hill is currently inactive. However, the Kansas Department for Children and Families has a still undergoing investigation of their own happening.
Expect Tyreek Hill to release his own statement at some point soon.
