RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The NFL is reviewing Seattle linebacker Leroy Hill’s decision to attend last Sunday’s game against San Francisco while he was suspended by the league.
Hill and coach Pete Carroll acknowledged Friday that Hill was in violation by attending the game. Hill says he didn’t realize he couldn’t attend the game as a fan, and Carroll says the team should have done better in letting Hill know the rules.
A league spokesman says in an e-mail they don’t expect to conclude their review of the matter until next week. Hill is expected to make his season debut Sunday in Denver.
Hill was suspended for his arrest on a marijuana-possession charge in Georgia. He began 12 months of probation for that in April.
