24 Holton Hill DB

Hill (suspension) was added to the Vikings' 53-man roster Saturday.

Hill served two separate four-game suspensions to start the season and will be able to make his season debut Sunday at Kansas City, assuming he's active. The 22-year-old may not see significant playing time right away with the rest of Minnesota's secondary currently healthy.

Hill has officially served two separate four-game suspensions and is now available to suit up for the Vikings' Week 8 matchup versus the Chiefs, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

The Vikings have received a roster exemption through next week, so they do not have to make an immediate roster move to allow Hill on the 53-man roster. The 22-year-old is set to take on a depth cornerback role in the team's secondary.

Hill (suspension) was ejected from Sunday's preseason game against the Seahawks after delivering a helmet-to-helmet hit on quarterback Paxton Lynch.

Hill just keeps digging a deeper hole for himself. Already suspended for the first eight regular-season games because of PEDs, the cornerback might pick up even more supplemental discipline for his reckless on-field play.

Hill has been handed a second four-game suspension for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, NFL.com reports.

With that, Hill - who can still participate in all offseason and preseason practices, as well as preseason games - won't be able to return to the Vikings' regular-season roster until after Week 8. The 22-year-old logged 36 tackles and one pick in 16 games last season and will look to re-establish his role in the team's cornerback rotation as soon as Minnesota's Week 9 road tilt against the Chiefs.

Hill was suspended four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Hill has a history of similar issues, as he was suspended by the University of Texas for a positive drug test and he failed another test at the 2018 NFL Scouting Combine. The Vikings were possibly going to give Hill more responsibility in 2019 after he allowed a team-best 51.6 catch percentage last campaign. The trio of Trae Waynes, Xaiver Rhodes (groin) and Mike Hughes (knee) should continue leading the team's secondary.

Hill started at right cornerback and had five tackles with a pass defensed in Sunday's loss to the Saints.

Hill got the start with Xavier Rhodes sidelined with a foot injury. He graded well in pass coverage and could earn more playing time with his performance even when Rhodes returns.

Hill had two tackles and played four snaps on defense in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

The undrafted rookie could have a larger role next week as a reserve cornerback with both Mackensie Alexander (ankle) and Trae Waynes (knee) hurt.

Hill has made Minnesota's 53-man roster, ESPN 1500 am Twin Cities reports.

The undrafted free agent from Texas will likely be limited to special teams, but the Vikings feel he could develop into a solid contributor based on his preseason play. The Texas product was expected to be a mid-round pick prior to the draft, but off-field issues (failed drug tests, suspensions) likely led him to be undrafted.
