Earlier this year, some wondered if the NFL career of Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill could be in peril following news reports of suspicious injuries suffered by Hill’s young son.
In March, Hill and his then-fiancée, Crystal Espinal, were persons of interest to the Overland Park Police Department and the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) after their son suffered a broken arm and other wounds while in the care of family.
Several weeks later, child protective services removed the son from Hill and Espinal’s custody and placed him in another home. In late April, KCTV5 published chilling excerpts of a recorded conversation between Hill and Espinal.
