There’s a decent possibility that Holton Hill may not come back to play the Vikings this season after getting ejected during Sunday’s Vikings-Seahawks preseason game. .
Watch as Hill delivers a brutal helmet-to-helmet blow on Seahawks QB Paxton Lynch who had already given himself up on the play.

#Vikings cornerback Holton Hill has been ejected after hitting Seahawks QB Paxton Lynch in the head on a scramble. Crowd applauds as Lynch gets up and walks off under his own power. Bad penalty by a player already needing to earn credibility.

Hill, who is already set to be suspended for the first eight game games of the season for violating the NFL’s substance abuse policy, could be facing another suspension.
I am not in the business of automatically rubber-stamping the NFL's rules changes to make the game safer, since most of them are implemented in ready-fire-aim fashion–but man, Holton Hill needs to miss a couple games for that hit.
