The Minnesota Vikings will be without a contributor in their defensive secondary for even longer than anticipated during the 2019 regular season.
The NFL announced on Tuesday that cornerback Holton Hill has been suspended without pay for an additional four games for violating the league's policy and program on substances of abuse. He was previously suspended for the first four games for the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Hill will be eligible to participate in all preseason practices and games. However, he will not be able to return to the team's active roster until Oct. 25, after week eight.
The undrafted free agent out of the University of Texas appeared in 16 games with three starts, 36 tackles, an interception and seven passes defensed, according to a release.
