Will Hill facing 10-game suspension for drug violation

During the Baltimore Ravens' introductory news conference for newly signed Eric Weddle on Wednesday, coach John Harbaugh wouldn't delve into the plans for how he'd divvy up snaps for his glut of safeties.

The team answered the question an hour later by announcing they had released Will Hill. But Hill's release wasn't strictly based on performance or depth-chart reasons.

The Ravens parted ways with Hill because he failed a drug test and is facing a 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, a source informed of his situation told NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.
