Vikings' Hill gets 4-game ban for PED violation

EAGAN, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings cornerback Holton Hill has been suspended for the first four games of the season for violating NFL policy on performance-enhancing drugs.

The league announced the punishment on Friday for Hill, who had a promising rookie year with extensive playing time while starters Xavier Rhodes and Trae Waynes were injured. Hill started three games. Hill went undrafted out of Texas last year. Bleacher Report reported in early May of 2018 that Hill failed the mandatory drug test at the combine. Hill told NFL Network in late May that he sought help for his issues with marijuana.
