The NFL suspended Seattle Seahawks linebacker Leroy Hill without pay for the first game of the 2010 regular season and fined him an additional game check for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

Hill will be eligible to return to the Seahawks’ active roster Sept. 13 after the team’s Sept. 12 game against San Francisco.

Hill is serving 12 months of probation after a marijuana charge in Georgia in April. He was arrested in Issaquah later in April on suspicion of domestic abuse. The team earlier asked him to stay away from offseason practices before he was allowed to return June 14.
