Carolina Panthers wide receiver Stephen Hill was cited by police for possession of drug paraphernalia.

According to the Charlotte Observer, Hill was cited Tuesday by Concord, N.C., police in Cabarrus County with two misdemeanors: possession of marijuana paraphernalia and failure to wear a seatbelt.

Panthers players report to training camp Thursday morning.

Hill, 24, joined the Panthers in September as a practice squad player but did not appear in a game in 2014. He is expected to compete in camp for one of the final wide receiver positions.

Hill, a second-round pick in 2012, played two years with the New York Jets, catching 45 passes for 594 yards and four touchdowns.
