The Los Angeles Chargers have made a surprising move by signing former running back Nyheim Hines, previously with the Indianapolis Colts and Buffalo Bills. Hines, 28, has not played since the end of the 2022 season due to injury complications, including a significant knee injury from a jet ski accident. During his five years with the Colts, he became known for his versatility, recording over 1,200 rushing yards and 1,778 receiving yards. His quickness and ability to catch passes out of the backfield made him a fan favorite, though his recent performance has raised questions.

Despite a rough stint with the Bills, where he totaled only six carries for negative yardage, Hines is expected to provide depth and experience to the Chargers’ backfield. With the Chargers looking to bolster their running game, Hines could potentially reclaim his dynamic role in the NFL.
