Will Hill Suspended by the NFL, Tyler Sash Back: The NFL has suspended S Will Hill for four game for violating the NFL’s policy on performance-enhancing substances. Hill tested positive for Adderral and will not be eligible to return until after November 5.
“I received a doctor’s prescription for Adderall prior to signing with the Giants,” Hill said in a statement released by the Giants. “Shortly after signing with the team, I was in a meeting with (Director of Player Development) Charles Way, who reviewed the list of the league’s banned substances. I knew at that point that this may be an issue. I was tested and the results came back that Adderall was in my system. I appealed but lost the appeal. I accept full responsibility for this situation, and it won’t happen again. The Giants have given me a great opportunity when nobody else would, and I don’t take that for granted. I feel badly this has happened. I will work hard and stay in great shape these next four weeks so I can come back and contribute to this team after my suspension.”
Meanwhile, to take Hill’s spot on the roster, the Giants activated S Tyler Sash, who had also been banned for four games by the NFL for using Adderral.
