According to the “The new NFL personal conduct policy”, the league “will follow a fair and predictable process for investigating the incident and ultimately taking disciplinary action if a violation has occurred.”

Regarding Tyreek Hill’s case, as the alleged victim has pressed charges against the receiver, the league “will avoid any interference and may await the outcome of law enforcement proceedings before completing the NFL investigation.”

Once the NFL investigation or the criminal proceeding conclude, the league will make a disciplinary decision.

“An individual is subject to discipline under the policy if the person is determined to be guilty of a criminal charge or if the NFL investigation demonstrates the person engaged in conduct prohibited by the policy. Depending on the nature of the violation and the person’s record, discipline may be a fine, suspension, community service, or a combination of the three. Violations involving assault, battery, domestic violence or sexual assault will result in a baseline six-game suspension without pay, with more if aggravating factors are present, such as the use of a weapon or a crime against a child. A second offense will result in banishment from the NFL.“
