The NFL now knows the verdict in the civil case of former Kansas City Chiefs/Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
On Tuesday, a Miami jury returned a mixed verdict in the assault and battery civil trial against Hill, finding the WR liable on two counts of battery but not liable for the eight remaining allegations made by his estranged wife, Lakeeta Vaccaro. The jury awarded Vaccaro $500K in compensatory damages but denied her claims for punitive damages.
How does Tyreek Hill verdict impact NFL comeback?
Per ESPN’s Xuan Thai, the NFL told the outlet last week that the Hill situation remains under “review of the personal conduct policy.” When it concludes its review, the league may suspend Hill.
A recent report revealed that several teams, including the Chiefs, could pass on the free-agent WR after admitting in the trial that he pushed his wife during an altercation. Another general manager said he’s ruled out signing the eight-time Pro Bowler.
