Report: RB Nyheim Hines to make NFL return with Chargers

Running back Nyheim Hines, who last played in the NFL in 2022 before being sidelined by a knee injury, reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday following a tryout with the team, ESPN reported.
Hines was a member of the Buffalo Bills when he tore his left ACL in a jet-ski accident in July 2023.
Hines, 28, was a fourth-round draft pick by the Indianapolis Colts in 2018 and spent four-plus years with the team before he was traded to the Bills at the 2022 deadline. In 81 career games (17 starts), he has logged 306 carries for 1,202 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, and he has caught 240 passes for 1,778 yards and eight scores.
The Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton in the first round (22nd overall) of last April’s draft, and they signed longtime Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris in the offseason. Harris suffered an eye injury in a Fourth of July fireworks accident but is expected to be ready for the season.
