So, is there a chance they don't end up suspending him for any games? Maybe something like Foster got and get a few game checks taken or something?

If he is issued even a single game...it's based 100% on KCTV5 prematurely airing an edited audio recording. We know, now, that the recording was created to extort Hill. The damage of showing only a small portion of the conversation is what created the "optics"..which every media outlet ran with. These "optics" are the only grounds for issuing a suspension..
Hill should sue them for damages. They aired an extortion attempt and modified it to frame him in the worst possible light.
He was free and clear until they decided to go the "clickbait" route...and unethically run an unvetted recording. That's their responsibility...
Here is ground rules #2/#4 for defamation...
2. "Published" means that a third party heard or saw the statement -- that is, someone other than the person who made the statement or the person the statement was about. "Published" doesn't necessarily mean that the statement was printed in a book -- it just needs to have been made public through social media, television, radio, speeches, gossip, or even loud conversation
4. The statement must be "injurious." Since the whole point of defamation law is to take care of injuries to reputation, those suing for defamation must show how their reputations were hurt by the false statement -- for example, the person lost work; was shunned by neighbors, friends, or family members; or was harassed by the press.
This headline appeared in the KC Star the day after the recording aired...someone please tell how this inst harassment from the press or damaging to one's reputation.
If the Chiefs care about honor and decency, Tyreek Hill can’t be part of this team
