Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Reportedly Expected to Be at Training Camp
We finally have a substantial update on the status of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
According to the latest report, he's expected to be at training camp after NFL officials held a lengthy and thorough interview with him on Wednesday.
Hill is still being investigated by authorities for a battery incident involving himself, his fiancee and his three-year old son.

The Chiefs released a statement earlier in the year expressing their concern for the situation and making it clear that Hill would not participate in any team-related activities until the situation was resolved.
Things weren't looking great for the receiver around the time of the NFL Draft, as the Chiefs traded up and drafted the dynamic receiver Mecole Hardman, who most assumed would be Hill's replacement.

The news doesn't come as a surprise, as most pundits assumed Hill would appear at camp given the trajectory of the investigation.
Hill has remained firmly in his claim that he never touched his son, and audio recordings of the situation do its part to both support and reject that claim. Regardless, Hill even being in this situation to begin with is inexcusable.
Still, the Chiefs have a decision to make regarding the controversial behavior of Hill and the conflicting stories regarding this particular incident.
