Right thing to do? That’s really subjective. We each probably have a different definition of what the right thing to do is in this situation.
If I’m the Patriots, I would suspend him like the Chiefs suspended Hill and allow the investigation to play out before making a decision.
He isn’t vital to the Patriots winning. They’ll be more than good without him. We all know that.
Which scenario is worse:
Playing him (which can be seen as passively supporting him) and having him turn out to be guilty.
-or-
Not playing him and having him turn out to be innocent.
It’s safe to assume that the Patriots know more about the situation than any of us. The way they respond to this situation as it unfolds will tell us a lot.
