Nyheim Hines News
Free-agent running back Nyheim Hines (leg) is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million with the Cleveland Browns, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old missed the entire 2023 season with the Buffalo Bills after suffering a major leg injury during the offseason. Hines entered the league as a fourth-round pick in the 2018 NFL draft via the Indianapolis Colts, where he was utilized as a receiving back behind Jonathan Taylor late in his tenure. In 72 games for the Colts, he caught 235 passes for 1,725 yards and seven touchdowns. He was traded to the Buffalo Bills at the 2022 deadline but only logged 11 touches for 50 yards thereafter. Hines will need to get past the leg injury, but he's a dynamic kick returner and could be in the mix as a change-of-pace back in Cleveland's backfield when he's fully healthy.
The Buffalo Bills plan to release running back Nyheim Hines (knee) this week, according to a source. Hines most likely will be back for training camp this summer after injuring his ACL last summer, but he'll be doing it with a different team. Hines injured his ACL during a jet-ski accident last July and was forced to miss all of the 2023 season as a result. The 27-year-old former fourth-round pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 out of North Carolina State spent the 2022 season with the Bills and Colts, carrying the ball just 24 times for 33 yards and a touchdown while adding 30 receptions for 241 yards and another score through the air in 16 games (five starts). At this stage of his career, Hines will most likely be competing for a complementary pass-catching role with whichever team he lands with next.
Buffalo Bills running back Nyheim Hines (knee) suffered a significant knee injury away from the team and is expected to miss the entire 2023 season, according to sources. Hines was acquired from the Indianapolis Colts at the trade deadline last year, but he had a small role in Buffalo's backfield in nine games (one start) with only six carries for minus-three yards and five receptions for 53 yards and one touchdown. The 26-year-old's absence for the entire season will ensure more work for all three of James Cook, Damien Harris and Latavius Murray in Buffalo's backfield, especially in the passing game. Obviously, fantasy managers can now scratch Hines off their fantasy cheat sheets before their drafts.
