With the specter of a suspension looming, Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill will be interviewed by NFL investigators looking into the case involving his 3-year-old son.

ESPN reported the interview is scheduled to take place in Kansas City on
Wednesday.
Hill is under investigation by the Kansas Department of Children and Families
for possible child abuse, battery or neglect. Hill's son broke his arm in
March, and officers in Overland Park, Kan., were called to Hill's home twice
that month.
Hill could be subject to discipline under the NFL's personal conduct policy,
even though there currently is no criminal investigation surrounding the case.
The Johnson County district attorney announced on April 24 that he felt a
crime had taken place, but insufficient evidence existed to prove who
committed the crime.
KCTV broadcast an audio recording the next day on which a voice, allegedly
Hill's, was heard discussing striking his son with fiancee, Crystal Espinal.
Espinal asks Hill, "Why did he say Daddy did it? Why did he say Daddy did it?'
A 3-year-old is not going to lie about what happened to his arm,'' Espinal
said on the recording. "He is terrified of you."
Hill responded, "You need to be terrified of me, too, b----."
The Chiefs immediately announced Hill would be barred from team activities.
The district attorney did not formally re-open the case, but did tell the
Kansas City Star any new information would be evaluated.
