Chiefs CEO: 'Right decision' will be made on Hill 'at the right time'

Kansas City Chiefs CEO and chairman Clark Hunt said on Saturday that his team will make the "right decision ... at the right time" regarding Tyreek Hill, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN.

A criminal case tied to possible child abuse was reopened on Friday following the release of an audio clip. In the clip, the Chiefs receiver and his fiancee, Crystal Espinal, are discussing their 3-year-old son and the abuse investigation.

The child reportedly suffered a broken arm. In the tape, Espinal asks Hill, "Why does (their son) say, 'Daddy did it?'"

Hunt said Hill's situation differs from that of Kareem Hunt. Kansas City released the running back during the 2018 season on the same day video surfaced of him kicking a woman in a Cleveland hotel, and the team had been unable to get information from authorities until the tape emerged.

"That goes back to the ongoing investigation with Tyreek and really our ability to get any information," Hunt said. "That audio was really among the first information we had received on the investigation."

Hunt added that the Chiefs have no timetable to make a decision on Hill's future. The receiver was told to stay away from the team.

"We were deeply disturbed by the audio ... and that's why he's not with the organization at this point,'' Hunt said. "We would expect that to be the case until we have to work our way through whatever information we're able to get.

"There are a couple of ongoing investigations related to Tyreek, and we're going to have to let that process play out.''
