Jun 29, 2023 9:24 AM

Tyreek Hill offered the 57-year-old man whom the wide receiver allegedly slapped on June 18 a sum of $200 in the time after the incident, according to the police report.

Per the report, the dispute happened when Hill and others entered a docked private boat. The captain of the boat told them to leave. Hill allegedly said to the captain, "I can buy you and the boat."

During the dispute, an employee of Kelley Fishing Fleet walked over to the scene. Hill allegedly slapped that employee on the back of the neck.

Surveillance footage backs up the versions offered by the boat captain and the employee who was struck. The employee later identified Hill in a photo lineup.

Before Hill left the scene, he was heard telling an "associate" to give the alleged victim $200. The alleged victim did not accept the money.

Falcons Expect Kyle Pitts To Be Ready For Start Of Season

Jun 5, 2023 11:36 AM

The Atlanta Falcons anticipate "everybody" being ready for the season opener on Sept. 10 against the Carolina Panthers.

"Everybody" would include Kyle Pitts, who is recovering from surgery to repair his right MCL.

Arthur Smith maintained multiple times that the team is going to be smart with its third-year tight end, but it's an indication he should be ready by the opener.

Pitts has not been spotted at either of the open voluntary OTA practices, and Smith declined to offer a more concrete timeline on Pitts' return and whether he'll be available for training camp.

He had knee surgery after suffering the injury in Atlanta's win over the Chicago Bears on Nov. 20.
