ESPN’s Jeff Darlington learned some more information about the situation on Monday. According to Darlington, Hill was cited for careless driving and not wearing a seatbelt. Veteran defensive lineman Calais Campbell, who stopped to see what was going on with his teammate, was also briefly placed in handcuffs but did not receive a citation.

It is still unclear what transpired that led to Hill being handcuffed during a routine stop. The Miami-Dade Police Department has begun an internal investigation of the incident, and one officer has already been placed on leave .

Though Hill’s run-in with police occurred just hours before kickoff of Miami’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, the All-Pro still played and made a huge impact. Hill caught 7 passes for 130 yards and a touchdown in his team’s 20-17 win. He even broke out a handcuff celebration to celebrate his score .
