Tyreek Hill was named in a report of child abuse in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park, TMZ Sports reports. The Chiefs players was named in the police report of abuse and neglect along with Crystal Espinal, the mother of Hill's child on March 5. 

TMZ reports that the case has been resolved and Hill was not named as a suspect. The Chiefs told the website that they are aware of the report and are investigating. 

“The club is aware of the investigation involving Tyreek Hill," the team said. "We are in the process of gathering information and have been in contact with the league and local authorities. We will have no further comment at this time.”

In addition, police filed another report of battery involving a juvenile at Hill's address on March 14, though Hill is not named in the report. According to KCTV, the case has been turned over to the Johnson County District Attorney's Office for review.

The reports are not the first time that Hill has dealt with domestic issues. Hill pleaded guilty to domestic assault and battery in 2015, admitting to choking and punching a then-pregnant Espinal in 2014. His record was expunged and his sentence was suspended. Since then, Hill and Espinal have gotten engaged and are raising a 3-year-old son together.
